Lighter fluid is for pussies.

Real men cook out with napalm.


Today marked the end of regular classes at my school, and as a sendoff for summer break we had a hotdog cookout. The task of making the fire fell to me, I’m not sure why.

Maybe it’s a guy thing.

Whatever the reason I took up the task with great enthusiasm.

Perhaps too much.

You see, instead of lighter fluid, they use what is essentially napalm to start cookfires here. Flammable jelly in a convenient squeeze tube. Thank god this shit wasn’t around when I was a kid. (Okay, it was, just not available to the general public for ¥399.)

My action figures never would’ve stood a chance. ^.^

Oh, the hot dogs came out fine.
