I ate fire today.

[ramik]

Just what the title says.

I.
Ate.
Fire.

With my mouth.

Flaming torches.

In my mouth.

Ate fire.

Also lit my tongue on fire and used that fire to light another torch.

Man, you really like posting kickers, don't you?

[ramik]

Huh, I guess I do at that.

[queclecumber]

Yup!

My roommate, The Kate, took a fire eating class and returned home with a couple of the torchy-type-things from it, and taught me how to do the fire eating.

And it was awesome.

And my highlight-of-the-day was napping in the park when the sunlight made consciousness less appealing. You have a much more exciting existence. :P

[ramik]

Ah, you're selling the excitement of napping in the sun short.

Will you burn?! Won't you?! Maybe the sun will go behind a cloud! It's a thrill a minute.

Right! Plus Concord purse-snatchers! I was unconscious in public; anything could have happened.

[ramik]

People could have drawn embarrassing things on your face! Things like, "I eat poop," or, "penis!"

In contrast, the worst that can happen from eating fire is a horrible accident engulfing my entire body in flame. Laughably mild when you think about it.

Being engulfed in fire happens to someone every day! It is a normal part of human lives.
