This is pretty cool – metaphorically speaking.
Home Recipes Note: How To Make Magic Fireballs
It reminds of a game we used to play when I was in Scouts.
Night-Soccer.
That may not sound very interesting – except that we weren’t playing on a lit field. So, how could we see well enough to actually play.
Set the ball on fire.
Regular soccer-balls don’t burn very well – so you have to make a special one.
Step 1 – gather up old rags and material from the back of the Scout Hall.
Step 2 – grab some of the chicken wire from the cubs vegetable garden
Step 3 – wrap chicken wire around the rags into a ball shaped object
Step 4 – siphon some petrol from Skip’s car.(1)
Step 5 – Soak ball in petrol
Step 6 – set alight and play!
The advantages of this game of course is that no-one hogs the ball – because if you keep it too long – your sneakers start to melt.
(1) The best way to siphon petrol is to use a tampon tied to a longer piece of string, thread the tampon through the hose to the end you’re putting in the petrol tank. Let it soak for a couple of minutes until it swells to block the end of the hose then pull it gently back through. The vacuum it creates will start the siphon process – and you won’t end up with a mouthful of petrol. As an added bonus – you now have a very effective fire-lighter.
And *thats* why it’s a good thing Girls were allowed to join scouts – easy access to tampons
