I'm sorry, but the correct response was "what hell week sounds like".

It was Thales who said all things come from water, even the hot arises from moisture, as we see here.

Actually, even the hot was a jest by Aristotle quoting Thales, which now seems appropriate as well.

I think it's Jay-Z these days.

I'd love to see Jay Z, or any of his contemporaries do a flaming shot.

The answer to (b) is "not set it on fire to begin with" because it is not as if you are improving the flavor by charring the solids and you're just making the alcohol content go down (as Camonk was alluding to)

i'm pretty sure the point is that it looks cool

pastorofmuppets
obviously "cool" being one of those things that changes as you get older

I think there's some study somewhere that says every guy under the age of 30 manifests symptoms of pyromania.

This guy would set his breakfast cereal on fire if he could.

They also say it's difficult to profile a teenager, as every teenager exhibits at least some of the symptoms of clinical sociopathy. Sometimes, shrinks just say shit.

Personally, I dunno. No one's ever pinned down pyromania to my liking - is it a psychological phenomenon, an occasionally occurring paraphilia or an actual mania? It's kinda like egomania: call it NPD, call it egosynotic aggression, Egomania is just catchier even if it's entirely inaccurate.

Anyway. 5 stars for the FIRE.

A friend of mine and I would set cheap tequila and vodka on fire, because you don't want to drink that at all. But we'd put it in a big glass bowl and let it burn itself out. Meanwhile we'd drink like Jameson's.

Seconded.

And nothing of value was horribly burnt.
