Hunk-a-hunk of burning love.
Has to be just right or else. Walking on broken glass is easier than buying gifts.
New video game? Ho-hum. People want something powerful enough to burn memories for a lifetime – for tales to tell long after moving into the Senior Citizens’ Home.
Nothing will brighten up the day like unwrapping your very own flamethrower.
Yep, available on-line in multiple colors. Pink camo? Probably. The ladies like to get in on the action these days, too.
Always fantasized about taking on a commando role? Even giant screen gaming can’t compete with the real experience of handling your very own flamethrower!
Always wanted to recreate a Game of Thrones episode? Flame it up, dragon.
Always searched for the perfect dangerous alien invasion Halloween costume? Nothing fires up the imagination like a flamethrower.
Always wishing for a way to quiet down noisy neighbors? Flame on for shock and awe.
Flamethrowers are perfectly legal. No background check needed. One quick click on-line and faster than you can strike a match, one can be delivered to your door.
Some state laws may insist on a signature and photo ID showing proof of age over 18 yrs upon delivery, but “valid” IDs for club entrances have never been a problem, right?
Perfectly legit. (Except California has some issues concerning wildfire potential. Party poopers.)
1944. See? A timeless classic.(PD:UK War Office photo/Imperial War Museum)
Just like in those late night TV commercials: the ideal multipurpose tool!
For snake and wild hog management. Not to mention all that brush on the South 40 that needs to be taken out. Burn the stickers off prickly pears and BINGO: instant provisions for cattle.
Perfect for memorable fondue parties or to quick start that charcoal grill. No better party entertainment.
While do it yourselfers may try to cheap out with that can of hairspray and a lighter, there’s nothing like the real thing.
Be the first on your block! Make short work of yard work. (X15 flamethrower.Image: Throwflame.com)
No more fretting, Santa. Flamethrowers: a hunk-a-hunk of burning love!

Philosopher Mouse of the Hedge 
You know, there’s nothing like a five-day hiatus from civilization to shape one’s perspective. I got up this morning, turned on the radio, changed the station twice, then turned it off. I took a look at my twitter timeline, and made for the exits. Now, it’s 7:30, and I’m thinking of all the uses for a metaphorical flamethrower. I’ve already taken care of a few politicians, true believers of every sort, and the neighborhood beagle that started howling an hour an a half ago and still hasn’t stopped.
May your day be equally cheerful and imaginative! I have to go find my routine, now.

Soothing bubbling fountain now plugged in for the duration here – maybe longer.
“So you just stopped in to see what condition your condition was in…”
Now we know exactly why my dad dragged up off to the sticks on weekends, holidays, and every opportunity. No phones, no neighbors, only miles of trees, fields and quiet.Dropping out? More like dropping into it.
Bubbling fountains (No doubt on sale for Cyber Monday! Could the media salivate any more? It would be wrong to shoot the tv when it’s the people jibber jabbering on it?)
Thanks for dropping a note into the fire

What? You don’t have one of these useful farm tools?

Love the idea but why not just go cheap? Wilson recently squirted starter fluid on his tractor while trying to charge it’s battery and ended up with an inferno.
