Makes me proud to be an Australian!

OUCH !! and probably AAAAAARGH !!

  Gives a whole new dimension to the term "backfired". What a wazzock!

Reminds me of when I was a college there was a guy who, after a couple of beers, thought it hilarious to light his own farts. 

Until the day he got a backdraft and set fire to his bum hairs.

We were all sympathetic, of course!

Reminds me of my brother-in-law's bachlor party during the Seoul olympics.  We were doing the 'flaming plunger.'
1. Fill hopefully clean plunger with vodka.  2. Light on fire.  3. Run around yard with torch while flaming vodka spills over you, yard, cars, etc. 4. Try and put flame out and drink any remaining vodka.
Good (& stupid) times.

If I recall correctly, there was a guy in the late eighteen hundreds who made a music-hall act out of lighting his farts. Can't remember his name, though.

When you're chewing on life's gristle...

...don't grumble, give a whistle...

On the 'lighting own gasses' front, i stayed on a works campsite once (yes archaeology is that glamorous) where copious amounts of local cider were consumed which resulted in a 'flaming a$&%holes' competition.

This involved:

1.  Excessive consumption of what appeared to be highly alcoholic, apple flavoured melted orange jelly.
2.  Removal of trousers and undergarb
3.  Insertion of as much toilet paper as possible between a$&% cheeks (preferable a whole roll of trailing insanity)
4.  Lighing of said toilet paper
5.  Running as fast as possible while toilet paper burns in a firey a$&%-clenching shower behind you
6.  Fall on the ground in drunken agony and attempt to divest oneself of burning toilet paper as it reaches a$&% cheeks and other sensitive nethers.

This of course all ended in predictable disaster as one particularly 'refreshed' participant manged to stumble into and flatten a tent which, it became readily apparent, may well have been mildly waterproof but was somewhat less fireproof.  

The alarmed occupant wasn't best pleased as his only shelter became an all too briefly flaring 'campfire' of toilet paper and guy ropes.
