last friday night was "Pirate Night." We bought a ****load of rum, watched pirate movies, talked like pirates, and lit ourselves on fire.

No joke. I have a first degree burn on my knuckle.

actually i was out shopping for fantabulous bargins.
but i'm gradually getting through that Dickens (i remembered!) book, over the months. this is just a "what are you reading" thread really.

ARRR!!

Pirate accent i thought.

I like starting fires in my fist.

Step one: form your hand into a fist, but with a space under your fingers, like you could hold up a flag pole with it.

Step two: fill said cavity with lighter fluid/gas

Step three: ignite

Step four: open up hand when you start to feel a burning sensation to put it out fool.

Option one: put firery fist up to mouth, blow out back of hand to pretend to be a dragon.

Step five: go to hospital

yea, pretty much what we were doing was covering our hands with lighter fluid, igniting it, and than dousing it before we really got burned.

we did some cool ★■◆●, as we found out that all the furniture in our apartment is 100% flame retardant, we lit a table on fire and ★■◆● like that.

Well i said before i couldn't get into King's "gunslinger" series? I take that back now. I'm on the third book of seven and it's turning into one of those "i can't put it down" kinda fings. He unashamadly says he was inspired by Tolkien, which is seen through the plot, as a quest of some sort develops, but it has all the gore and bloody twists only King can come up with. It's even got elements of the Matrix in it (30 years before Neo donned his leather overcoat) Great stuff. Flabby likes.

A new kind of science - stephen wolfram
killer on the road - james ellroy

just reread the Golden Transcendance by Stephen Wright, and finished "a stanislaw lem reader", which has been laying around the house for quite a while now.

I really liked Wright's golden age trilogy, that's twice I've read all those books now.

Has anyone read Dont Know Much About History? by Kenneth Davis? It's fantastic and amazing how little I know about US History, grade school doesn't do it justice.
