Thatā€™s not a firenadoā€“itā€™s a god straw.

I guess this oneā€™s technically about lightning, but man what a clickbait shitstorm weather.com is these days.

Clearly the LORD is displeased, because he likes him some Jim Beam.

Supplies:

  • 1 large glass jar/bottle with associated metal cap or lid
  • Large fire (campfire works well enough)
  • gasoline
  • nail
  • hammer

Fill jar/bottle with gasoline (the word ā€œgasolineā€ should be spoken in the same dialect as Imperator Furiosa) leaving 1 inch of air at the top of the bottle.
Punch small-to-medium sized hole in the cap/lid with the nail, and then attach the cap/lid securely on the bottle.
Place bottle directly in fire and stand back a touch.

Yes, youā€™re wringing your hands at the thought of placing a full bottle of go-juice right into a fire. Yes, doing it correctly will result in a fiery column of ā€˜gezolineā€™ spouting maybe 5-10 feet in the air, depending on the size of the bottle and the hole in the lid. No, you should never do this because you wonā€™t do it right and kittens and be-sweatered lambs will die by the droves if you do.

Thereā€™s no way an omniscient being would prefer Jim Beam over one of the copious better choices of bourbon

Jim Beam owns some good brands like Basil Haydenā€™s and even Laphroaig. But as long as the lightening struck the actual Jim beam floor of the warehouseā€¦or, better still, took out that Knob Creek Smoked Maple abominationā€¦go nature!

And hope no one was hurt in the cleansing.

Iā€™m fine with Jim Beam existing for Jim Beam drinkers. But the Knob Creek Smoked Maple pisses me off, because Knob Creek is pretty good stuff! I got tricked into ordering it once (they didnā€™t have any regular Knob Creek) and I was so disappointed.

Would a Mickeyā€™s bottle work pretty well for this?

Same thing happened to me. I admit to being a bit of a whiskey snob, but Knob Creek Rye is indeed pretty good and even their 9 year 100 proof has legs. Iā€™d drink it more if there werenā€™t better alternatives available at equal or cheaper prices, but at least most bars and restaurants stock it. Getting duped into the Smoked Maple was a nasty surprise.

Ainā€™t that the truth? I like Crown. But Crown Maple? I spilled a couple of drops on my desk and it reeked of maple for weeks. Never again.

(And drinking it wasnā€™t what it should have been.)

As far as Iā€™m concerned, itā€™s basically 90 proof Log Cabin syrup since any barrel taste is smothered. It doesnā€™t even have the decency to taste like the good maple syrup you can only get in Canada :angry:

Super weird to see my hometown on BoingBoing!

The only way Iā€™d see mine would be if it was on fire in an interesting way, too (though thatā€™s a possibility, seeing as they appear to be serious about doing in-situ gasification of Wearmouth pit. Thatā€™s a fucking big mine).

When the omniscient being is already smashed off His Holy Rocker, He prefereth anything He damn well pleases.
