NFL Football on XM Radio was boring since it wasn't really a game.

One of our group is from Hungary -- I have to put this in as he's just hilarious. He told us as a shorter semi pro basketball player in Hungary, when he would block shots of much taller players, the way he'd get them to miss was a tap in the crotch just as the shot was being released.

Well, now I know why fights start so often in the NBA and how air balls happen on seemingly easy shots.

But when we started trading stories as teens vs. explosives, he had an original one.

It is a tradition at harvest in Hungary to roast a pig. It turns out the one to be sacrificed was the favorite of a young little girl, who begged her father not to make the pig scream.

So, he used camping fuel to asphyxiate the pig.

Well, it turns out that the way to get the hair off the body is by fire. You guessed where this is going.

While putting fire to the pig, which must have been suspended somehow and not on a spit yet, it exploded. According to our friend from Hungary, there was not enough left of it to roast, so the explosion was quite strong.

There was no mention on anyone being injured or nearly incapacitated. And, the father of course had procreated.

Still, a large pig weighs 400 pounds or so and is huge. Standing close to one which had just perished from breathing fuel ... this was clearly not well thought through.

And the trauma from this vs. the usual method, sounds like there wasn't much of a gain.

Using fuel fumes gas a pig, then putting a flame near it... and the cartooniness of the image is a bonus. Let's see what the other moderators have to say. Thanks, Mike!
