So, you're saying he's overqualified for the court!

My brothers friend set my mom's curtains on fire lighting farts

Did he have to fart on the curtains?
Cautious-Damage7575 OP t1_isxdobt wrote
That's a very good point. Almost always, fart locations have lots of different options. This one probably didn't have to be near the curtains, unless it was an emergency

Picture it. It’s a hot summer night. My husband, his uncle and his dad are sitting in T-shirt and underwear are on the front porch. Drunk as hell and lighting their farts. The uncle hits the lighter - his underwear going up in flames. Lots of beer is wasted putting him out.

Update: My 18yo Gen Z son tells me that nobody does this anymore

Well here's a chance for us old timers to get millions of YouTube clicks and maybe start a new TikTok challenge that goes viral. The videos will probably get yanked for being deemed too dangerous. Then again we could put a Jackass type of disclaimer that says we're professionals and don't try this at home. lol

Triggered
But yeah, you're right. This is a tremendous opportunity for social media fame. I wonder if my buddy can still get into that position without hurting himself

Did he give reasons why not? Access to lighters perhaps isn't common anymore with anti-smoking laws.

In answer to your first question, no, he wouldn't tell me. I even offered some possible answers, to which he would neiher confirm nor deny.
Anyways, your point about lighters not being as accessible is a really strong possibility as to why it's not done anymore. On the other hand, I provided only one example from one kid—which isn't exactly representative of the entire generation. Maybe it is still being done, but nobody talks about it?

Strictly entre-nous: I demonstrated it for my Chinese wife about eight years ago, and she was speechless. To this day, could not confirm if it was a positive or negative response. When your son says "nobody" it implies negative, and we need to work on that.

Thank you for reigniting my love of doing this! This was a cool party trick several of us pulled in 2004/2005.
These kids wouldn’t know entertainment even if it burned their asses.
