No need to re-enact it, nor to read the article. I once tried to light a fart into new Sears blue jeans (read: cardboard) when I was in college. It set off the equivalent of a 9.0 Richter scale explosion in my pants, singed all the hair on my ass and balls, and left the smell from hell afterwards.

So you're a performance artist?

monty666: So you're a performance artist?

Never intentionally.

Oh, God (read: Mod), please don't greenlight this thread....

OMFG....

There's nothing like a singed scrotum, it's breathtaking, GoDeep suggests you try it.


/it's not easy being green, eh?
//you've got some cool favorite people

Javacrucian: /it's not easy being green, eh?

That's what I've instructed be inscribed on my headstone... right above the words, "He asked them not to greenlight that thread, but noooooooo!"

soze: Oh come now, you could really inspire some amazing performances from liters if it went green.

Now THERE'S a Farktography contest I'd like to see: take a photo of you and/or your friends lighting farts. Lighter not included.

Flupid Bloroplope: Better pick the name you want to be known as from now on. Ballsack Conundrum is already taken. I'm thinking "Charred Taint" or "Fire in the Hole".

HAHAHAHA! The ramifications of this thing getting greenlit are potentially far more damaging than I had feared!

How 'bout Jean Burns?

soze: There's always the trusty nickname of Great Balls Of Fire.

There's always my sending you a bill for a new keyboard, too!

soze: Say, does your mom read Fark?

I think she inspired it; she's more squirrelly and has bigger balls than the Fark mascot.... Why?

Please be gentle, guys -- use the 'Glide.

Scrophulous Barking Duck: We'll be gentle. It will only hurt for a little bit, then it will start to feel great.

Where've I heard that before?

Well, I've gotta go to bed. I hope I can still log in in the morning, as I may not know my new login after this hits the main page....

MayorYana: I imagine that they would lose their licenses or get sued to buggery if they dropped names

Confidentiality is a big concern in New Zealand, but legal action isn't so much. There was a referendum in the 1970s that resulted in replacing the right to sue in personal injury cases with a compulsory insurance scheme which is paid for through a small income tax (a few cents in every $100), a levy on petrol and a fee when you register your vehicle.

From this you are fully covered for personal injury arising out of accidents and your income is insured too. This covers workers or non-workers, citizens or visitors (well, visitors are covered for treatment in NZ, but not income - unless they're working here).

You can still sue for emotional harm - but that's not really a biggie here, and you can sue for exemplary or punitive damages if there are sufficiently aggrivating factors (assault, for instance).

Both the legal fraternity and New Zealanders in general seem quite satisfied with this arrangement.
