Great Balls Of Fire

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

(Bristol, UK) OK, so picture this. Halloween, my friends are all drunk, and wearing strange monster costumes. My skater friend has a ramp set up in his front garden and likes to show off his (limited) skills to us all. The group gathers round him as he sets up several oil drums from the shed next to his ramp. He then takes a bottle of vodka and pours it onto his skateboard. Then the psycho lights a match and drops it on the board. He gets a big round of applause as he goes up the ramp on the flaming board and over the oil drums. Being completely drunk, his skating skills were even worse than usual and his flaming board seperated from his feet and lit the oil drums, which my friend then fell onto. He was screaming loudly, his legs were on either side of one of the oil drums and his testicles were being incinerated. When someone finally put out the flames, the poor guy was rushed to hospital with his balls and penis burned to a crisp and third degree burns up his legs. He hasn't been the same since that night, and to be perfectly honest, neither have the rest of us!

I'll keep this one as a PA because I rather liked the write-up. Thanks, Jack!

While I'n not sure if burning alcohol is hot enough to ignite oil, the write-up does make the story. Thanks for the submission, Jack.
