Day 360: Juggle Fire!

     If you've been following this shit-show of a project for a while, you may remember a previous challenge I did called mildly high risk juggling. It was back in the early days of the project and I have since then decided to up the stakes a little bit and try some very high risk juggling. That's right, we're talking about playing with fire. It's a testament to both my stupidity, and my dedication to the project. There's no way that I'd ever try this if it weren't for this little experience experiment. It constantly reminds me that "Just because it's a terrible idea, doesn't mean you shouldn't try it" and I'm thankful for those idiotic stunts I've forced myself to do this year. It's one of my first life lessons and it's exactly what this project needed.

     Mouse and I cut three strips of cloth from a cotton T-shirt I had and tied them up in little balls. Then we soaked each one in butane and lit them and they became terrifying fireballs. The hardest part was gathering the courage (stupidity) to reach out and grab the flaming cloth ball. My brain kept telling my hand to reach for it, but my arm would only extend halfway before I'd pull away in fear (common sense). Mouse was the first one to successfully touch the fireball, and moments later, he holding it in his hand like it was nothing. It was all downhill from there, we found ourselves drunk with adrenaline as we tossed fire around. It was so manly, I felt like I was in an Old Spice commercial or something. It was insanely fun/scary/stupid and we both walked away without a scratch/burn. Check out the pictures and don't try this at home!
