I went fire bowling tonight.
You will need:
-A large warehouse with smooth concrete floor
-15 bowling pins
-A skateboard
-A full-face helmet
-Leather welding smock and chaps
-A large squeeze bottle of kerosene
-Wet towels
-Fire extinguisher
-Several people with no brains
Set up the 15 pins in a triangle.
The bowler dons the welding gear and full-face.
Squirt lots of kerosene on the pins. Don't skimp here.
Squirt lots of kerosene on the "alley". Bonus points for creative designs like spirals, zigzags, and triune crosses.
Bowler lies on skateboard facing the pins, head-first.
Light kerosene on fire. Watch the fire spread over the pins and the pretty designs.
Pusher pushes bowler through the flames. Bowler's objective is to steer the skateboard so as to knock over as many pins as possible with her head.
Catcher's responsibility is to stop the bowler after pin impact, and to extinguish the bowler if he is on fire.
I bowled a 12, but picked up the spare.
