Magic Fireballs - and Girls joining Scouts

This is pretty cool - metaphorically speaking. Home Recipes Note: How To Make Magic Fireballs It reminds of a game we used to play when I was in Scouts. Night-Soccer. That may not sound very interesting - except that we weren't playing on a lit field. So, how could we see well enough to actually play. Set the ball on fire. Regular soccer-balls don't burn very well - so you have to make a special one. Step 1 - gather up old rags and material from the back of the Scout Hall. Step 2 - grab some of the chicken wire from the cubs vegetable garden Step 3 - wrap chicken wire around the rags into a ball shaped object Step 4 - siphon some petrol from Skip's car.(1) Step 5 - Soak ball in petrol Step 6 - set alight and play! The advantages of this game of course is that no-one hogs the ball - because if you keep it too long - your sneakers start to melt. (1) The best way to siphon petrol is to use a tampon tied to a longer piece of string, thread the tampon through the hose to the end you're putting in the petrol tank. Let it soak for a couple of minutes until it swells to block the end of the hose then pull it gently back through. The vacuum it creates will start the siphon process - and you won't end up with a mouthful of petrol. As an added bonus - you now have a very effective fire-lighter. And *thats* why it's a good thing Girls were allowed to join scouts - easy access to tampons
