No, we borrowed a video camera and made stupid movies, like "Wanda the Incredible Burning Lady" (a magazine clipping which we set on fire on the pavement) and "Lame Trek: THe Final Frontier" (in which we doused a model of the Enterprise with gasoline, torched it, and filmed it melting for the 'crash scene'). Yes, teenage girl fun is probably a lot safer than teenage pyromaniac guy fun.

heh... heh heh heh. i have been reminded of a couple of incidents involving the guys from my youth group (specifically, the guys from my grade in my youth group) and fire.

Last summer, we went on a bike trip, as most of you already know. Between the 3rd and 4th days, we had what was known as "Break Day" - one day on which you could chill at the campsite, go to a water park, or go to Busch Gardens. Several of those in my grade, including me, stuck around and had a rather enjoyable day doing nothing in particular.... soon before those who had gone to one of the parks were to return, the leaders asked the guys to start barbecueing hot dogs and such for dinner. Well, the guys couldn't get the grill lit. They tried and tried and they just plain couldn't. So my friend Lizi decided to help, and got it lit in less than a minute. They haven't lived that one down yet.

More recently, on the Junior Weekend, the guys had the brilliant idea of starting a fire in the fireplace of their cabin. Should've been fine, actually - some of them knew what they were doing. But then one guy, in order to make the fire bigger or something like that, poked something up the chimney and managed to close the flue. Needless to say, their cabin filled quickly with smoke. They were forced out of the cabin, and the fire was somehow put out, and they all smelled like smoke for the rest of the weekend. In a huge monster freeze game later on in the weekend, the event was parodied hugely... involving someone yelling "I'll take care of it! I'm an Eagle Scout!" and throwing himself into the (fireless) fireplace.

Anyway, yes, guys and fire are a funny funny thing. And those are my stories.
