Crossed with the Great Chicago Fire.

Poor Hal! Fried lambchops…
That was real baa-aa-aa-aad…
Bosda let it go. It has been done to death.
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
(Hal, I’ve never met you, but you surely must be one of the most good-natured Dopers EVAH!)
Or, he could be plotting a gruesome revenge.
You never know. 
I’m pretty sure that wasn’t Hal.
Hal’s date maybe, but not Hal.
Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor, I know you wouldn’t do something so heartless on purpose, but the man in the article will likely die from his burns. He had 80% of his body burned away.
It’s NOT really very funny.
OK, I finally have to ask. What spawned this pervasive running SDMB-exlusive in-joke?

And I agree that it was hilarious, and I also agree that it has been done to death, and Hal Briston, I doff my hat to your unending good humour about it.
Point.
MODS? Will you close this, at the O-Poster’s request?
Not quite. He suffered first-degree burns, which while painful, are unlikely to be lethal.
I missed the line that said first degree. Sorry.
Geez.
This was a plot point in the Edgar Allen Poe story Hop-Frog, and was dramatized in the Corman movie The Masque of the Red Death. Poe, in turn, based it on a real incident reported in Froissart’s Chronicles. Seems the same thing happened in the English Court, a long time ago. With fatal results. People have been getting literally burned by their costumes for over half a millenium. Almost certainly longer, I’ll bet, although I know of no earlier cites (HErcules and Nessus’ shirt doesn’t count).
All the more reason to either make your costumes out of non-flammabnle materials, or treat them afterwards.
Closed at the request of the OP.
