Wow. Just... wow. The imagination of some people. Setting a pee-pot on fire has now become one of the things I must do before I die.
 
2005-05-10 11:37:43 PM
I did, it was giving me shiat.
 
2005-05-11 05:29:32 AM
I couldn't even imagine what the smell must have been like.
 
2005-05-11 05:33:25 AM
That's so immature! Why can't they just knock them on their sides like we did?
 
2005-05-11 05:33:50 AM
You scataphobic goofballs, get back to burning shiatpots!
 
2005-05-11 05:35:54 AM
kids these days, it's a shame..

And I thought the world had run out of truly original things.

The potty in question?
 
2005-05-11 06:26:32 AM
It was not necessary to corner off the lot, but the portable toilet did release toxic fumes, Iselin 9 Fire Inspector Kevin Wertz said.

/Ace Ventura on
You do NOT want to go in there! Whooo!
/Ace Ventura off

/Fire Marshal Bill
Lemme show ya' something!
/why turn off FM Bill? He's great!

Haha..that's kinda funny...has anyone ever set a porta potty infront of someones front door? heh...funny reaction when they wake up in the morning
 
2005-05-11 06:32:32 AM
There is nothing on this earth more funny than an exploding toilet.

However a flaming toilet comes in pretty close.

Well, see, you take about a gallon of gasoline, and a half dozen egg whites and about a 1/8th cup of salt and mix them all together. Burns for quite some time and is sticky as shiat (well, stickier, wasn't trying to make a pun), so don't be a moron and try to kick it over while lit or something. Smells pretty good too compared to the other stuff that you can use as improvised napalm.
Save the yolks for a salmonella milkshake.

I think we have a suspect.

WOODBRIDGE The night was cool and clear but the air turned toxic when a portable toilet began to burn in the early morning hours of May 5.

NJ? Check.

Have a buddy that tipped a porta pottie forward onto it's door with a first Lieutenant inside.

Nobody missed him.

I like that they put sinks on the inside of those things, but I'm afraid to wash my hands in it. For one, there's no faucet, and it always looks like people pee in it.

Besides, unless somebody's plugged it with toilet paper, the sink has always drained by the time I need to use it.
 
2005-05-11 07:55:35 AM
"...but theres been no rash of burning potties

There's nothing worse that a burning rash of any kind.

/saw a portajohn burn many many years ago, burned surprisingly fast. Don't smoke in those things.

Spud Boy: Don't smoke in those things

that was the *only* safe place to smoke in Basic Training. Nobody dares inhale in those things; therefore, no risk of somebody smelling smoke.

It was me.

Thought it was laughing at me.

Found that it was laughing WITH me.

that's a sink? I always thought it was a urinal....

darklordseth: The potty in question?

Now that's some chilli!

I know we always wheel out Mythbusters, but do you remember them trying to make one explode in a recent episode? They had a hard time doing it trying to light it with a cigarette and a build-up of methane. The thing vented the gas out pretty quick. I think they plugged up vents, got their mixture right eventually and then managed to make it blow up.

A quarter stick of dynamite makes a porta shiatter look like something from a warner bros. cartoon.
Anyone know the statute of limitations on this?

There was a time, towards the end of high school, where my buddies and I would cruise around in an ancient Ford Escort hatchback, blasting light jazz on NPR, and wreak all sorts of devilry. One of our most common forms of petty crime was to disturb port-a-loos. We'd do everything from drag them into the middle of the roads, to tipping them over, to setting them on fire . . . which is, incidentally, quite easy- if you have lighter fluid, and you soak the roll of toilet paper and light that. Tends to take the whole damn thing with it.

The grand opus was taking a local crapper, putting it in the middle of the road, tipping it on its side, and lighting it on fire. Then nonchantly driving by every once in awhile to see the progress.

Pretty dangerous stuff, and in retrospect proabably really aggravating to firefighters. But, hell, in my small town, they might have been so bored on a daily basis that they secretly thanked us for giving them a bizarre tale to relate to anyone who would listen.

Newspaper vending boxes work well, too.

/wanted for questioning
 
2005-05-11 11:43:05 AM
oh, sometimes people just explode...
 
2005-05-11 11:49:53 AM
I happen to find the image of an outhouse on fire HEE LARRY US. Because terlets is funny.
 
2005-05-11 12:14:39 PM
people in this town are just retarded. throwing eggs at my house, a box of lit firecrackers under my car, paintballs thru the front windows. UGGH.
 
2005-05-11 12:40:42 PM
We threw some roman candle type fireworks in a port-a-potty a few years back. Quite the stunning sight, I must say.

I suspect someone was smoking in it, dropped a lit butt in there....

Or just random teenagers.

It's when they keep happening, that's when you worry...

Oh yeah, poop can, under the right conditions, spontaniously combust, but it's gotta ferment a LONG time.

Methane buildup? Nah, you'd smell it long before it'd be explosive...

hallum: that's a sink? I always thought it was a urinal....

Teehee, I was just thinking, damn they must have some nice portapotties(sp), until I realized that I was thinking the same thing you were. That thing doesn't look anything like a damn sink! I guess we know why it always looks like someone peed in the sink, LMAO.

One time at scout camp we were bored and were heating rocks to red-hot in the camp fire and dropping them in the fire bucket, which would make it boil. This was mildy entertaining for about 5 minutes. One of us, probably me, came up with the idea that it might do something entirely more interesting if dropped into the kaibo (a 3- hole outhouse with a large concrete cesspool below). Oh, it most certainly did. The rock (about the size of my head) made the crap slurry boil around it, and stank up the camp so bad that most of us left for a few hours while things settled down. It stank bad enough all week that the camp ended up pumping it out to kill the smell after we left.

Who? Drunk college guys. We set shiat on fire for some reason.

Why? Set porta potty on fire. ???. Profit.

How? I think that the how is pretty easy to determine. All you would have to do is pour some gas in the place where all the piss and shiat are.
 
2005-05-12 12:15:46 AM
I went to (was court-ordered to) a fire safety counseling thing. There were a couple of kids there, no older than 3rd grade, who had burned down a port-o-potty.
 
2005-05-12 04:25:06 AM

public urination is wrong

except in the million man march when some protestors set fire to the port-a-potties, so I used my stream of justice to put out the hate
