Healthy tip for folks who like to grill
After you change cylinders, before you fire up the grill, make sure you turned off all the burners. Don't think you remember. Don't even be sure you remember. LOOK AT THE FREAKING KNOBS and turn them ALL to the OFF position.

This public service announcement is brought to you by my singed arm hairs. :toast:

1. I got you beat. I couldn't tell if butane was coming out of my lighter, so I put the thing up to my
FUCKING EAR! Just as I proceeded to push the button, the one and only thought that went through my head was, "Oh shit." The next few moments consisted of throwing the lighter across the room and franticly trying to put out my hair.
