jumpjunkie2004 0 #1 September 6, 2005 cut through your extension cord with your hedge trimmer? There was a pop, smoke, and a little tiny fire. Lasted only a couple of seconds. Of course, I will remember it FOREVER. There were witnesses!!! A couple of my neighbors were marvelling over how nice my shrubs were looking. Anyone ever do something this stupid?Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I nearly set my kitchen on fire by burning up my toaster oven...make SURE you clean out the dang crumb tray on the bottom!

grue 1 #5 September 6, 2005 That's not too bad. A friend of mine was having a bonfire, and was throwing random things into it, old bags and stuff in the garage, so on, so forth. Well, one of those old paper grocery bags had a bunch of fireworks in it... He had a roman candle hit him in the balls We played "Great Balls Of Fire" around him as much as possible after thatcavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
