This reminds me of the movies my friends make, with us blowing up fireworks and Army men.

One of the best parts is that there is a shoe on fire to be spotted above the cars dashboard at the end.
Last Halloween we made a pumpkin that breathed fire at little kids. It was great...
If you catch on fire, always, ALWAYS, run away quickly with your arms flailing. It has been said that this is the only way to put out the fire.
Another method. If you're planning on setting a friend on fire, follow him around with a bellows so you can blow the flames out.
A bellows is nice.
But I prefer a liquid to douse the fire.
I'm fond of kerosene, but regular grade petrol will work just as well.
One thing that interests & irritates me is people's ignorance about fire and flammable materials. In the USMC, working on diesel generators outdoors toward the end of a 32-hour workday, generator's tank is sealed, no leaks around, step 5 feet away and light a cigarette. An officer stomps up to me, grabs my smoke, breaks it in half, throws it on the ground and grinds it out with his boot. He proceeds to yell at me for being a careless dimwit who probably is more interested in his mother than he ought to be (language cleaned up severely here), proceeds to lecture me on dangers of smoking near fuel-using machinery.
Maybe because it was a long day, maybe because he was dense in a brainwashed sort of way. I ask if I can smoke 20 feet away. He lets me. I light up and promptly walk over to a 5 gallon bucket of diesel fuel we'd drained earlier and drop the lit cigarette in. Of course, it's extinguished. I mutter, "Ah, break's over, time to work" and do that. The guy never said another word to me.
Disclaimer: Don't try this at home kids, there's always a chance of circumstances being just right.
Heh, that Ebaum's world-place is cool. There are several people in my school who knows that and one day when there were no teachers in computer class they put on a projector and showed those videos so that whole class was able to watch them :P
Ha ha ha ha ha Yakspit!!!
I set myself on fire once with a candle. I proceeded to tap the flame that was creeping up my arm. It went out. Nobody noticed.
My mates arm caught on fire once :D
He just put Deoderant (sp?) on, and he went into the living room and his mum's friend held her fag a little close :D
Hehe yak, reminds me of watching my friend's dad trying to kick-start a bonfire using diesel. Suffice to say it didn't work.
People that stupid really exist, Archy? I thought it was something that only happened in urban legends :P

For maximum effect, scream, "What terrible agony!" like in No One Lives Forever 2.
I love that game.
Holy crap, best video ever!
Run, little flamey person, run.
The way he runs is the best part. It's straight out of a cartoon or something.
