Tired of Old Man Winter putting a damper on the warm weather, we decided to do something about it: have a bonfire.
This time the theme was Global Warming, and our intent was to create a huge ball of heat so that we could stand in the middle of it and enjoy running around without coats in the middle of winter. We had the recipe from the science books: we needed methane gas, ozone depleting substances, and large amounts of heated carbon dioxide.
So, we had large helpings of chilli, we used hairspray in the potato guns, and lit a pile of wood on fire. Just to be sure, we strangled the ground hog that saw his shadow with our bare hands.
Here are some pictures of the bonfire.
Things didn’t quite go as planned. There was a lot of wind, and that caused the fire to burn unevenly. We used this as the perfect excuse to play with the fire with some amazing results.
Afterward, we went inside and played Werewolf, a social game that involves pointlessly slaughtering your friends and then deceiving them to their faces.
