HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a blaze that displaced dozens of people from a southwest Michigan apartment complex may have been sparked by a resident trying to cook a squirrel with a propane torch.

Well first of all, I SKIN squirrels to get the hair off and secondly, like I said, I'm 930 miles east of that incident in Massachusetts. Tim will back me up on this as I'm meeting him Monday morning to show him how to fix a truck!

So what was he smoking/snorting.

We just had a young man hit head on on his motorcycle by someone high on meth that crossed the center line and got him.

Said he couldn't see the biker because of the fog. The only fog around was in his head.

Back in my youth I used to go to the outdoor movies in my pickup truck. Too cheap to buy the expensive hot dogs there, so I took my own and cooked them with a propane torch, in the cab.

Could have been a scene, eh.

The non-profit organization I'm involved with is dedicated to fire safety and prevention. Being this is Fire Safety month, I'm in the schools teaching the subject. September thru November is kinda crazy. We'll see about 30 to 40 thousand kids by the time we wrap it up at the end of November. Over-all, year-end totals will be down a little this year to about 85,000. Last year we topped 100,000.

Yes, but if you messed something up in the cab of your truck, it would mostly impact just you and anyone unfortunate enough to be with you. The braintrust in Michigan took out almost an entire apartment complex.

Not much different than trying to roast a pig in a claw foot tub in a bathroom. That was a fun one. Or roasting a chicken in a rotisserie that you pulled out of the trash in a closet with an extension cord cut and twisted together for power. That was another good one. I got a few more but I'll svae those for later.

Never underestimate the amount of stupidity in this world, even at my age I keep seeing things I just can't believe...it NEVER ends!

I know of a GUY (NO I was not involved nor do I condone such behavior toward animals) that tied a rag soaked in a flammable liquid to a cats tail and lit it...then stood by totally amazed that his garage, yard, neighbors yard and every where else the poor tortured thing ran ignited. I often thought he deserved at least the same thing.....

Just to funny .I too know a guy who trapped a big rat soaked it in gas and lit it up as it ran from the cage only to die under his house and burned it down to the foundation.

I wonder if there related...we know there retarded

I have one too...
A man in Wisconsin cleaned the ashes out of his wood stove into a cardboard box, then took that box out and set it on top of the firewood stacked against the attached garage. Then went out to eat.

Came home to restored prairie.

I seem to remember a story, (or maybe a movie scene!!) where a guy tried to torch a mouse or rat with wd40 and a lighter. The animal lit and ran into the wall, which eventually set the structure on fire and burned it down.....history repeating.

Had a female vacuum out her wood stove then set the vacuum on the porch and go to work. She came home to find us pulling cielings and walls. And who would have thought that the first questions she asked was, "where is my vacuum". Nothing but the motor windings left..
