> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by FreakFreely \* > \*\*Ohhhhhhh, now I know what it is! My foot’s on fire! > > Well I’ll be damned. \*\* As it so happens, yesterday I set myself ablaze. Not on purpose, mind you. (not like last time) I was refilling my zippo and made a bit of a mess, and when I went to test it… **FAWOMPH** (and that is the exact sound too) Lemmee just say this. It was not the smell that tipped me off to the fact that I was on fire. (But man, you should have seen me dance) ---
