Mines long
Well my friend samir has a bamboo forest in his backyard, its always been there, its pretty odd. Either way, we decided to build a fort with and inside of the bamboo. It actually turned out really awesome with the assistance of some power tools and wood. With 3 different cot/bed things and a roof of bamboo and large leaves.
Now onto the stupid part:
Since we had this awesome fort, we had to do stuff in it. So our great idea was to create a GIANT bon fire INSIDE the fort, to cook hotdogs over. Instead of simply microwaving them...genius i know. The fire was composed of sticks, wood, and dryed up reed sort of things that burned really well. Again, this is inside of a fort comprimised entirely of wood/bamboo.
So it got huge, and we cooked hotdogs, delicious, fun, and exciting.
Time to put the fire out...or not. We threw buckets of water on it, threw dirt, pee'd on it, spit on it. nothing detered the flame. Nobody panicked though because we were so light headed from all the smoke being breathed in since the smoke had no where to go but waft around inside.
So the fire began spreading, and we needed to get out. Only 2 exits, the back way (blocked entirely by the enormous fire) and the front door, which "cause its cool" was opereated by a complex set of pulleys to give it a draw bridge effect. So there we are laughing, giggling and screaming as we struggle to get the front door open. We were in that hyper mode you get into, where your so pumped on adrenaline everythings histerical and funny.
Finally we escaped and got the hose and put out the fire...sorta.
It appeared again later when samirs mom came out to check on what had happened. We got in huge trouble and my dad took me to the burn ward to show me what can happen when you mess with fire. I was 13 or 14.
In retrospect it was a fun day. And while it was incredibly stupid, im would do it all over again.
