You know you're a Pyro when...

[GalFisk]

... when you have black handprints all over yourself from squatting mosquitoes while you were making airfloat charcoal.

 

Hahaha, I can imagine this one.

 

Curious as I may be, some things aren't meant to be mixed. Like icecream and pizza, great seperate, but I can't imagine a pizza straight out of the oven with a few scoops of icecream on top tasting good.

I can. I'm so going to try this.

 

You know you're a pyro when...

...you get withdrawal symptoms unless you light something on fire every now and then

...you see a farmer buying KNO3, and think of the waste of good chemicals

...you sit around a bonfire, and think about how you could improve it with some chems

...the fire department refuses to come near if your house catches fire

...your friends don't make any assumptions about your current number of fingers

...you respond to great fireworks shows as other people respond to great rock concerts

I'm sorry but this is just one fuckin' funny thread! I needed the laugh tonight- thanks folks!

 

Another..in my case..

 

When you pick up more busted shell casings than pinecones in yer yard.

And you REALLY look before mowing the lawn... OUCH!
