"Your policies do not work for me, they don't work for Nevada, and I wish you a big loss!"

Erica Wesnousky, a member of a troupe of fire throwers, wearing stilts, strode toward Angle, shook her hand and exchanged a few words.

"I told her, "Your policies do not work for me, they don't work for Nevada, and I wish you a big loss," Wesnousky told The Associated Press afterward.

6. fire throwers

are really jugglers who use fire as part of their schtick. Flaming torches, knives and even chainsaws are used. Sometimes they use a censer type device... a fireball at the end of a chain, and do "firedancing" while swinging the fireball around artfully. I've even seen firedancers wear long, lit fingernail type things.

Pretty cool really, especially when photographed at a long exposure.
