what in da hell

so we almost burned down a field and blew up a car last night. went out to the country where cha's new place is, lighting firecrackers, + other explosive fun. the dialogue quote of the night was -
daniel: what does this one do?
brooke: i don't know? (lighting it)

one of the volcano-types tipped over and started shooting into the field. it's hot in tx right now, the grass is very dry. a fire quickly started and i was pretty freaked, so i ran over and stomped it out with daniel (i was really surprised the ease with which we stomped it out, i could just imagine the whole field ablaze...there was a good fire going).

now let me state this, i seriously can't stand people who have the same name as me, not that i'm in some elite group, daniels a pretty common name, but i just can't be friends or hang out with people named dan, daniel, danny, or juan. my friend dan in the atl is an exception, but this dude went by daniel as well, so any time i heard the name i turned around. this daniel was alright, he helped put out the fire, though i will still avoid hanging out with daniels in the future.

back to the story...so being the smart folks that we are, we were setting of fireworks in the middle of this 1.5 lane country road with the powerlines right above it + everyone's cars parked across the street in the brush. the brush.

after stomping out fire #1, someone yells 'oh shit, there's a fire under tigelaar's car!'. yep, a fucking fire started right under his engine, i ran to stomp it out, but couldn't get to it. it was growing so fast, so everyone's yelling for him to get in and drive off and i seriously was thinking 'this shit's gonna blow up, like all those action movies juan and i reference in our 8th grade humor'...can you imagine a fucking car blowing up because there were fireworks underneath that set the grass on fire, not to mention tig trying to drive away. we would've all been blown to shit, like some vietnam movie starring chuck norris or the guy from the exterminator (which was one of the livest intro's ever, when his homeboy was beheaded in the pow camp)...schrapenel everywhere and tig is toast for sure. so he fucking got in, started the car, all the while his front axel is getting bbq'd and he tears out....daniel+daniel stomp the shit outta some fire and there's a group hug.

seriously, that's the closest i've been to some action movie danger, since doing tandem donuts in the baseball fields after high school.

and that's really real, son.
