Subject: RE: Flammable Flatulence (Phartin' Phenomena)
I must have led a sheltered life. Although I heard about *flamers* as a teenager, I never considered trying to create them and I'm not about to try it at my advanced age. Many years ago, a co-worker told us about an experience he had in a gift store (something like Spencers). The manager tried to sell him a gas lamp designed to run on human gas. The lamp had a hose attached to it with the end resembling an enema tube for easy insertion. The manager claimed you could light up the whole room.... I used to be on a mailing list for a small book distributer specializing in vintage engineering and machinist book reprints. In the back of the catalog were misc. books, which included one called the "I Love to Fart Cookbook." The description included recipe titles such as "Turkey Talkback Stuffing" and "Neanderthal Bison Blaster." The recipes were graded on their ability to create flatulance. I always thought this book would make a great gift. If I can locate it, I'll pass along the book company address to you.
