      well at least the stupidest thing i've ever done with fire when inebriated is attempt to demonstrate how extinguishes work by putting matches out in my mouth... LOL.

        I think I may have mentioned this before, but pure citrus oil is highly flammable when aerated, and may well be good for blasts

          if you could email me more information i would love to check it out to put into my article... not to mention that citrus oil would prolly taste better than kero.

            Hmmmm.....

            Citrus oil as in the essential oil? Which is not to be in contact with bare skin because it is so potent? Tastes bad (I understand, I use it when I make my aromatherapy bath oils). It's expensive because it is only sold in small amounts. It's really sticky and can make you very ill as well. Not to mention that if you get it on your skin and then expose your skin to the sun it results in some nasty rash/blisters.
            It's ignition is quite reminiscent of flash powders. It needs to be in an extreme mist form to ignite, which is not necessarily great to use for shows because of the inconsistancy.

            Or

            Citronella oil which you use for oil lamps to keep the bugs away? Which is really more toxic than Lamp Oil and tastes worse than Kero?
            This creates a thick black smoke that is just nasty. Many people have adverse reactions to burning citronella, including allergic and asthmatic reactions.
            The odour is quite potent really. The only plus to this is a mosquito wouldn't dare come within a mile of you! [img]wink.gif[/img]

            (Lamp Oil, in my opinion costs a bit more than Kero from the pump but it does not have that whole moonshine nastiness that Kero has working for it.)

                  I've been busy making rocks float, but I just read this thread, and think you might be hasty here.

                  Once, I confronted something that looked like a duck, quacked like a duck,
                  and walked like a duck, but was actually a penguin. Go figure. Congrats on the two pager, its a major accomplishment.
