Liquid Fire! > General Discussion

I was sitting here on Arfland trying to get my homework done. After about an hour I cracked open my textbook to reveal the four prob & stats problems due tomorrow at 4pm. Exhausted already - I figured I'd done enough work so I head to the kitchen for a beer.

The second I crossed the threshold into the kitchen my nostrals flared. I scanned the barly lit room for an answer to my alerted senses. I smell something foul. Instantly I hit the deck fearing a chemical attack then realizing it was that nasty pee trap in the washroom, I stood back up and checked myself over for wounds.

still paranoid that it could be a trick I shouldered the M4. My roomate doing his homework at the kitchen table was now alerted to the problem, he has the reaction time of the MPD so it was a good ten minutes before he actually got out of his chair and came over to see what was going on.

We no longer have a washing machine. the old pee trap in the drain dries out and stinks. My landlord is a fud, I thought to myself "never again will I allow such a smell in my kitchen!". frantically looking around for something to stuff this piehole once and for all I came upon a few old candles.

Why not plug it with liquid wax? plus I get to play with fire and procrastinate for another half hour while the wax melts in a can on the burner!

I grab spagettios can, add pieces of wax. Utilize LaRue Dillo for tactical bottle openage.

this is where it all gets fuzzy.... I was drawn back to the warm glow of Arf.com and all time seemed to stand still.

The next thing I remember is my roomate screaming FIRE!!! ...I immediatly felt myself hit the hardwood floor beside my bed with the familiar Magpul MIAD in my right hand and the cold touch of a 30 rounder in my left. I managed to make it to my knees and slide my vest out from under the bed. I was ready.

Once I entered the dining room I knew I showed up to the wrong type of firefight ...I felt the best thing was to shut the burner off and grab another beer...

from what whitnesses say I left the burner on for a good hour turning melted wax into liquid fire.

Sitting there in the smoke, sipping highlife, my roomate and I pondered just how we were going to put the fire out. I opted for setting up the video camera and tipping the flaming over but my roomate thought it to be best for us to smother it. I made reentry to the Arf.com room and found a small piece of steel to cover the can with.

The fire went out. Of course I assumed the liquid magma had magically cooled in about three seconds so I lifted the steel and it reignited into my right eyebrow.

After running around in circles cursing the world. i settled down and recouped. we were going to need durrastic measures here. The now extinguished liquid fire had begun to pour smoke at an alarming rate. Luckey for me my landlord faild to put a fire alarm in the kitchen so we were in no danger of setting any alarms off.

I was going to have to make a run for it. could I grab the bazillion degree can of liquid fire and throw it out the door before it burned my hand? I tried. luckily it didnt tip over before my brain told me the tips of my fingers had just melted - hot mits were the only way.

Upon my speedy exit out the back door a stray cat tried to thwart our escape by stepping in front of me. Kitty almost got a bath! by this time I was losing my grip as the heat from the can was making its way through the poorly insulated hot mits.

the napalm erupted in a magnificent cloud of smoke and steam as it landed in the yard, my landlord has a whole yard, he didnt need that grass anyway!

when the smoke cleared a distinct splatter of the reminants was revealed upon the landscape. inpressive!

fearing the neingbors calling the police we made a quick retreat back into the house. now it smelled like nasty pee trap and smoke

yes... lots of smoke...

...gah now I have to get my homework done

Reminds me of the the time way back in the day of 8th grade when a friend and I stole handfuls of magnesium strips and lit them on the stove...

REALLY REALLY REALLY bad idea

So, you see a fire hazard and think "I should get the camera"

I will admit it made for a 6/10 post.

Same thing happened here at work awhile back. Someone had left this machine on which is like a crockpot if you will. It keeps a special wax in liquid form at all times. The wax itself is used for coating tools so they do not get scratched or damaged. Anyhoo, this temperature level got turned up by someone and it had overheated. I didn't know it was overheating until I happened to smell something funny coming through the air ducts. After I got up and went to find out wtf was going on, I noticed a lot of smoke out in this break room area. I called the plant supervisor who showed up and after about 30 minutes of searching we finally found what was creating all of the smoke. When he pulled the lid from the unit, it immediately burst into flames. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and that didn't put it out so he put the lid back on it and that did the trick.

The smoke itself gave me a nasty sore throat for about a week.

You like plugging things don't you? Otherwise you wouldn't have made that "plug" of a CO2 car for a different kind of pee trap....

Very interesting, however, I think what people really want to know is will you be mixing a can of chili with that macaroni?
