I Like Bonfires!

WHAT IS A PYRO?

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary's definition is:
"A person who has an irresistible impulse to start fires".

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, defines one as: "A person who has a compulsion to set fires".

Urban Dictionary.com defines pyro as:
"Something that hundreds of kids call themselves. Thay are NOT pyros. Pyromania is a mental illness where the person sets things on fire or explodes things for satisfaction. Like all manias, it acts as an addiction and pyromaniacs will feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Thay won't be able to sleep or stay calm. Just because you carry a lighter around that doesn't make you a pyro."

AM I A PYRO?



Hmmmmmm......I wonder. OK, let's see if i can pass a simple "are you a pyro test" & then we'll know if i'm normal or not... maybe.


q1. do you ever get an irresistable impulse to start a fire? a1. yes, once a year.

q2. do you ever light anything on fire for satisfaction? a2. yes, once a year.



q3. do you feel uncomfortable or uneasy?
a3. yes, most of the time (but in regards to what?)

q4. are you able to sleep or stay calm? a4. umm.. i don't go to sleep before 12am & i can't relax!

q5. do you carry a lighter around? a5. no

q6. do you ever build large bonfires? a6. yes i do & am proud of it. (brad helps me)





OK, so if i answered the questions in the above test honestly, what do you think? would you consider me a pyro? Please let me know so i know if i should watch out for myself or not. Thanks!

... Oh, & just in case you're wondering what these pics are actually from.


here's the story: for the past 3 years we've celebrated brad's birthday in grand style by having a large bonfire that the 2 of us build a few weekends before whatever the big day arives which includes shooting guns, a wicked game of wiffle ball & finally burning a big fire... and yes, this year's was a pirate ship (like you couldn't tell).


BOOYA!
