My head's about to explode! How do we ever get thru the day??

burn, baby, burn....no, get a permit
volunteer...no, pay taxes for community service
complain..no you can't
volunteer fire dept...no, govt. fire dept....no, wait for some private start-up fire department
big piles are good...no, small piles are good
It'll probably not start another fire....but be prepared anyway
come to my beck and call immediately...hmm, maybe there are other higher priorities...or maybe somebody has a "case of the don'ts"
beer bribery is best...nope, donuts...nope, honey
burn small brush...add in trunks...how about doors and lumber...or treated wood
it'll burn out immediately....or take the better part of a day.
burn anytime....burn only a couple days a year
permit if no snow... snow, no permit...permit always
be nice....nope, the squeaky wheel gets the grease
get your permit over the net...no, get one in person

Not bad! You pretty much covered it - love the graphic representation, funny stuff. :laughing:

How's this. Trolling is intentional, sparcing is due to negligence.

To tie into the thread, seems like you could work in "lighting a thread fire", not attending the blaze vs stoking the blaze...

Yes.

Where would you feel safer?

(a) Somewhere on the tower as the pallets are being passed up by hand as shown in the first photo, or
(b) Standing below the tower as it is engulfed in flames as shown in the second photo.

Depends. How close to the tower is the nearest Aggie?

Can you imagine the liability insurance required for that project?

I suspect that there isn't any liability insurance involved. The Norwegians must not be litigious. Either that, or there are no lawyers in Norway.

Very interesting, out in West there are several big get together bonfires like Burning Man (massive party in place to see about anything you want. Carnival type place for BIG kids and the free fun crowd.)
