Wicked!

She was almost snuffed.

I guess he had a small wick.

I hope she got waxed and not whacked

Pfft. That's nothing. My husband once lit the kitchen on fire while cooking pea soup.

FunkOut: Pfft. That's nothing. My husband once lit the kitchen on fire while cooking pea soup.

But were you waxed?

Gaaaaaay!

Fail subby. Fiance, not wife. She still has time to abort the wedding.

That's like how Chong describe how to make a table candle in "Let's Make a Dope Deal".

That's hot!

.

Hold on. Detached garage... Cardboard near the candlemaking equipment... Doused with sand but it didn't go out...

Shenanigans. That man WANTED that house burned down.

Was he drunk at the time?

/So hot

First thing I though of when I read that headline was, "Huh, well Bob biatchin' is real."

Brazilian?

Approves

But was the wife/gf a chump?


Wanted for questioning

I bet the gf has a bee in her bonnet now. Paraffinly, this isn't the first stupid thing he's done. I expect her affection will taper off.

So at least the entire house smells wonderful now.

You outpaced your rim shots.

I actually live in Peoria, so I'm getting a wick out of these replies...

/sorry.
//I actually feel a little bad for this guy, if he really was just trying to make a gift...

The only thing I just don't understand here is why the jackarse didn't call the fire department as soon as the fire started? It was a *detached* garage for farks sake, how did it have time to spread to the house?

The garage was technically detached, but only about 2 feet from the house. He tried the sand and then ran inside to call for help. It sounds like it really just went up that quick (which is why you don't store cardboard and such under your hot plate. In your garage. Which is filled with combustibles.)

This is why you always have a thermometer in your pot o' wax when melting it. Also, don't do it in your garage.

/Casts bronze.
//Flaming pots o' wax are no fun.

-1, superfluous 'his'

Remember Cowans and candles don't mix.

Bet the guys won't be inviting him over to play poker any time soon. "Scented candles, Bob? How could you?"

Pro tip: When melting paraffin use a double boiler and a thermometer.

/sizzly.

Well Peoria just seems to be making a lot of headlines this week.

What making candles can afford the right person:
