    the story about him buying a "blowback (backdraft? (oh! anyone remember that movie?)) valve" is the best one though... :hehe: (look at page 12 i think)


    For the lazy ones:

    RolandTower: Excuse me, do you know where I could find a one-way pipe valve? Like the kind a gas stove might have to prevent blowback?
    Guy: Hmmmm, I'm not sure exactly what you want. What do you need it for?
    RolandTower:Ermmmm, I'm um....
    Guy:What do you need the valve for?
    RolandTower:Ikindofbuiltthisdevicethatusesalcoholtofireflames like,tenfeetorso.
    <pause>
    Guy:Oh! So you built sort of a flamethrower?
    RolandTower:yes...
    Guy:And so you need the one way valve...
    RolandTower:So that when I near the end of a tank, I don't run the risk of the vapors igniting in the tank.
    Guy:Of course! Here, you need one of these, and these fittings.
    RolandTower: Ummm, thanks.

    All I want to know is: how many other guys in my area must've built these? The dude's reaction boiled down to "oh, another flamethrower? Aisle five." God, there must be a lot of nuts out there.

    as cool as it is, for some readon i get the urge to beat the crap out of the kid in the pics, not sure why mind you, he just looks like he needs a good beating :hehe:

    it is cool though, hopefully he isnt as much of an idiot that he appears to be though, otherwise i feel sorry for any stray pets/children in his neighborhood :eek:

    Now, this has got me thinking.....

    Get a car turbocharger and build a jet engine with it, then use one of these to inject into the exaust vent, I'm thinking

    That's a cool skull :D

    Normally i dont care about this stuff, i mean its a nice flame thrower and he'd be dead or seriously burnt by now if it was built poorly, but this:

    http://aardvark.co.nz/pjet/images/lh200aa.jpg

    is just insane. He's a nutcase. Only a matter of time before he gets an application for the darwin award.

    not true, you dont have to die. you just have to do something that would prevent your genepool from being procreated. which usually involves death, but not always.

    tip a live lobster down your pants is not a good idea as a poor shoplifter found out.
