It makes good flames and if you put it out quickly, the cement just scrapes off and you recoat it. Works well if you have an assistant to help with lighting and extinguishing.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You can achieve the same effect with some sugar, some fertilizer, a length of wire, some electricity, and a plunger.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Use wood, but not my Mickey Mantle signature model.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
