New meaning to "Hold my beer and watch this..."

Is this a PSA for Vrai and Monello?

Not smart if those propane tanks are/were full or not. Of course alcohol turns everyone into superman...

Fidiot never moved from his chair.

The carcass of the camper held up relatively well even as the rest of it was consumed.

Not sure why/how the pile of empty beer cans ended up along side the camper. At least he wasn't littering and throwing them in the woods.

Keeping it classy St. Mary's

Maybe he had just escaped with his life and his BUD Light and there was nothing else he could do except watch. Looks like the PTSD had already set in.

Dont they have "blowout discs" or something like that to ensure that it's a burn and not a boom? I know, still hazardous, but not bomb dangerous?

Ya know, if I were him, I probably would have done the same thing. No sense in running around like a chicken, absolutely nothing I can do about it once the fire took hold, so might as well just sit back and watch the show.

Am I turning into a redneck?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Hmmmmmm......

 

[BernieP]

Arson investigators are probably wondering where he lit that canble?

 

[Monello]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Thinking what? That you are turning into a redneck?

I'm not a redneck. I'm a hillbilly. I've got one leg longer than the other to prove it.

Actually, I thought it might be our resident #TDS-er. But (s)he's posting this morning so maybe not.

True, but he could have at least faked some concern and stood up when the fire trucks arrived.

Yes they do so now you have an instantaneous release of the tank contents with an ignition source. You notice how the FF cooled the tanks first the ripped them away from the fire in the video.

I think he should have ran around in circles and waved his arm.

 

[luvmygdaughters]

I think "We didnt start the fire" shouldve been blaring from oversized outside speaker!

Its not like he was out of beer, no emergency yet.
