Flaming Canoe (toast's) “Okay, here's the story: My friend Matt wanted to use my fuel bottles (his rott probably ate his). Anyway, he went canoeing and pulled up one a remote gravel bar for the night. He decided to really get the fire roaring, so he unscrewed the cap from one of my fuel bottles and added a little Coleman fuel to the sputtering fire. The fire jumped to life--jumped all the way up the stream of fuel to the bottle. Matt, understandably, freaked. He tossed the bottle to the ground and then grabbed a paddle to launch it to the river--his boat was in the way. The bottle went right into his Mohawk Royalex canoe--OOPS! After that, he tried the scoop method (with limited success) and finally slapped the flaming inferno into the river. His canoe, although structurally sound, was a little bubbly after that. Until, that is, he decided to drive through Atlanta with nothing holding it down on his Bronco but two bungee cords. After getting it smacked by a semi going about 80mph in rush hour, he finally gave up on that canoe. But, he still has hopes of fixing it with epoxy and floating it again. Diehard. . .” 8:47:06 AM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “Which just goes to show...You can't have your canoe and heat it too!” 9:23:56 AM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “Hi, I?m Johnny Knoxville and this is flaming canoe?” 10:18:55 AM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “*groan* Buddur. That was a pretty big oops. Thanks for sharing BT” 10:42:59 AM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “Now, maybe you could creat an alcoholic drink inspired by your buddy's experiences. Maybe layer (if this is possible, I don't know the weight of these alcohols) Blue Curaco - blue for water - and some 151 then light the rum, maybe float a peanut shell or something.” 10:46:12 AM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “Well Oldie, I see you have learned something practical in college. LOL” 1:34:15 PM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “null” 1:37:11 PM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “No canoes Is good canoes With flaming....canoe.” 1:39:31 PM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “My message didn't show up.

Your friend Matt sounds like an f-ing menace. 1. Dumping fuel directly onto a fire 2. Driving with something on his car that is not securely fastened? This boy is going places.” 1:59:30 PM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “Sounds like your friend Matt should team up with Peeny's friend Billy (see Forest Fire thread). They would make a great duo.” 4:02:26 PM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “80 MPH in Atlanta rush hour? Not likely! Wail Out Loud! Of course, a semi at ANY speed would be lethal to a canoe...” 4:12:45 PM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “kleetn, formorly known'd as kreetn? HeHe.” 4:19:01 PM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “Buddur, Tommy; Remember, a good pun is it's own reword.” 4:55:16 PM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “Torch a canoe, and trash it too.” 5:07:59 PM 3/21/01 RE: Flaming Canoe (toast's) “walkincrow--I can paddle down a river.
