My hands are on fire! (an action pictorial)

Rule #1 Respect Your Fellow TB members

If you noticed here no one else called me an idiot directly, in fact most just said the actual act itself was stupid. I don't know about you Liquid-Tension, but I come here on Talkbass to have a laugh and relax. I do many reckless things, and sometimes they have comedic results. When I set my hand on fire originally I did it because I knew it was a pretty dumb idea, but its stupidity is funny.

You can make fun of what I do Liquid-Tension but at the end of the day I'm probably smarter than you. I'm going to a good college (less than 1/3 of applicants even qualify) and I'm in the honors program (which is the 10%) Now picture this coming from a person who sets himself on fire for fun. So where does that mean you sit on the totem pole.

If you're going to insult a TB member how about you keep it to yourself?

I'm sure he meant "idiot" in a friendly "Forrest Gump" sort of way.
 
i generally try to be pretty neutral in these matters but i really can't imagine someone being even mildly offended for being called an idiot for doing something stupid, especially when they admit they said:



i've done plenty of stupid things in my life, some of which i am not proud of because, well, i know they were pretty damn dumb. then again, i don't write about them on the internets.

my $.02, don't spend it all in one place.
+1000!
