It seems that he and some friends were drinking, and made a bet. The person who was able to drink the fewest beers, would have his pants set on fire.
He survived, so no Darwin Award.
I know, I know, I should be appalled and outraged over this human tragedy, but I can’t help thinking it’s kind of funny.
Wow. That’s pretty fucking stupid. Fortunately for me, it’s the kind of stupidity I enjoy, from a distance.
Sounds like a perfectly normal day around here.
This is the real reason they tell you not to mix viagara and nitroglycerin.
Kind of reminds me of a frantic call I once took from a local gas station. A woman had pulled up to get some gas, and had spilled some on her sleeve (it was one of those cheap pumps that spits a little bit if it kicks on before you get the nozzle into the tank). So like a dumbass she lit a cigarette, and her sleeve caught fire. The cops got there first (they were only a couple of blocks away) and saw her running around flailing her flaming arm around and shrieking like a banshee. They arrested her.

For waving a firearm.

From the title I thought that the naked man was running at such a high speed (due to not being weighed down by clothing) that his prosthetic leg caught on fire. That would have been much cooler.
I guess this answers the age old question of why a naked drunk man with his prosthetic leg on fire would go running across the road through traffic.
To get to the other side.
I just wanna hear the story of how he lost the leg.
This one has got me stumped.
Is it me, or does that seem like it’s saying that naked people running in traffic with their prosthetic legs on fire usually go unreported?
Perhaps he was hotfoot in pursuit of someone?
Clearly, as you’ve not read reports of it before. Have you?
Did he make it to burning man or not?
There’s a parody of Born to be Wild waiting to be written.

Get your buddy wasted,
Set his ass on fiiii-yer…*
Or “set his leg on fire” (“prosthetic” has too many syllables, grr).
Is there really an “A Bet’s a Bet” exemption to setting someone on fire?

If the leg fits, burn it.
<golf clap> Well done.
Reminds me of the one-armed guy I saw feeding branches into a wood chipper. It may seem inappropriate, but so many people laugh when they form the image in their minds.
