clean..recovering suicide rakuist...would like to audition for the part

Bruce, dude, Ok, now we are getting into the sexy stuff! Fireworks
reduction material. BoooooooYaaaaaaahBabbbyyyyyy. Running upa board layed
against a twenty foot tall bon fire, bare assed nekid, yelling jack be
nimble jack be quick before pulling pots from beneath (used tongs and a
jacket.).
Doing the nudist bit on several occassions at the beach, at night, half
drunk, having a reeeaaaallll good time and frying the hair off the dangling
testicular orbules.Learned from that episode and started putting on an old
long welding jacket for all the good it did. PYROTECHNIQUE thrills for all
of us fire freaks. I'm gettin all hot and bothered just thinking about it.
Ahhhh Yeeessss, the good ole days.
I came across as a bit of a fascist safety nazi on this one. After more
reflection and laughing really hard at PrimalMommy's list of things not to
do I will preach no more. I've done it! I love fire. I love playing with
fire. There aren't many things more exciting to me than having flames moving
around me. I get some twisted type of thrill everytime my hair is sindged.
As a recovering alchoholic I am acutely aware of the tendency for former
drinkers to preach about drinking. I do not do this. Equally, as a
recovering fire junky and certified fire risk enthusiast I hereby pledge not
to stand on high and preach about raku fire safety anymore. I'll leave this
to others.
