... that people's pants really did catch on fire when they lied. That would make things a lot simpler.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

No it wouldn't.

Quick. Water. Now!!!!

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

Do you think it would change the meaning of the term "hot" as applied to attractiveness?

Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :

For any lie? What if a woman asks you if her butt looks big in something? Let's set some boundaries here.

Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :

I was imagining a "cool" sort of flame. Just blue buttlights.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Lying about that should set her pants on fire. [Evil]

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

Then would it chenge the meaning of "cool?"

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

That's why politicians always campaign standing behind a podium. They drop their pants where no one can see them, just in case they do catch on fire.

Well, that was Clinton's excuse anyway.

I know folks that get that without lying!

Somebody's butt should burst into cold blue flames. I'm just sayin'.

I'd like to see it. [Smile]

Who would you be thinking of, in particular?

[Eek!]

<---This blue enough? Or is it purple?

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

I don't even have to lie. Sometimes my pants just spontaneously burst into flame anyway.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

This guy must have told a whopper!

Trisha, Dag: [ROFL]

Ralphie, you can make a dead man rise with your hotness.

Posted by Dead Sara Sasse (Member # 6857) on :

... or a dead woman ...

Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :

Voila!

Posted by Alucard... (Member # 4924) on :

I just have to say that blue flames can erupt from your pants, but not necessarily for lying. All you need is flatulence and a bic lighter...

Not that I'd know or anything...

[Roll Eyes]

Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :

No way.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

I never understood why anyone would light farts.

There are like 4 body parts in the immediate vicinity that make my Top 5 List of Things I Don't Want Burned and Therefore Keep Far Away from Fire.

Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :

I thought that was a total myth.

Mind you, for the first couple decades of my life, I was pretty sure sex was a myth, too.

Oh, how the innocence is lost.

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Seen it, butt have never done it. A friend from Louisiana did this a lot when we were in "A" School together back in 1999. He ended up burning the crotch area of his pants a bit one time.

Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :

*holds head in hands

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

I ass-ume he stopped after that?

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

well.......there is a natural way someone's pants could catch fire.......but the rest of their body would too..........its called spontaneous combustion........a person can just be standing there burst into flames and die........its really pretty bad........happened to one of my wife's best friends at a college reunion........turns out she had been cheating on her husband......ironic isn't it? fire for lying....kinda crazy [Dont Know]

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

SpontaneASS combustion?

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

from Louisiana

no he didn't. Because he did this in such a way (hard to describe exactly how he did it) that it was used to annoy/torment (torment w/ stupidity) another student in the class. He was having too much fun just doing it. The burning just caused him to be more precautious.

Mind you, during study hours, him and I used to kick back and belt out some Elvis tunes for a bit. It was all fun until he got kicked out of the Navy for drug usage. Stupid stupid stupid...

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Too much buttane in the diet.

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

Oxygen is highly flammable. Now I understand the genesis of the term buttox.

I've heard fires burn especially well in Northern Ireland. Something in the Derry air, I guess.

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

For peats' sake I believe your right.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Butt of course!

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

By the way, if Sara's desire to see flames erupting from the britches of liars ever came to pass, I believe we would see rumpant conflagrations.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

We'd certainly have a lot of cheeky liars about.

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

I guess we'd have to hope that our fire-fighters are ASSiduous in their dedicaton to duty.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Yes, brave souls will be needed to combut these ignoble ignitions.
