WTF? That guy's job is to hold the barrel of a flame thrower? I can't help but feel that's not a career you volunteer for...

Your video, Army sent flame thrower to destroy huge wasp nest, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Oh! you're right. Great movie though.>> ^Deano:

I'd argue Scott has not made a decent film since Gladiator.
All of this ties into my impressions of the trailer. I've not seen it but in some respects it reminds me of Alien and that bit with Theron wielding a flame-thrower (always a fucking flame-thrower) looked quite funny. In Alien we simply had Ripley refusing admittance.
One review said something that made sense; it's good but it's made for the multi-plex.
Like a lot of art these days there are grandiose claims but the commercial reality intrudes and undermines.


Just checked that he's a producer on that one but did not direct.

Ah that's one I have not seen. Wonder if it's on Netflix?

Congrats on the crown bro! I was tracking it really close for a while, and just when I have to look away - BAM!

We need to rig up some mini flame throwers for each of the crown points.

Now Imagine an arsenal of a GAU-8 cannon, 2, 50 cal's, rocket launchers, flame thrower. and anything else the military will attach to the damn thing. Look out Wall Street!

First off, it costs more because of three things: the trial, death row housing and funding of prosecution/defense. source

In addition, your analogy is off.
It would be more accurate to say, we are currently getting rid of leaves in the street by burning them with flame throwers, then turning on the fire-hydrants to drain away the ashes.
That is really expensive, so let's instead get rid of the problem with street-sweepers.


>> ^Sagemind:
It's the politics of this situation that drives me crazy. They could have been talking about street sweeping.
Streets sweeping is costing us 20 billion dollars, we should no longer clean the streets - sound absurd? Yes it does. They should be looking into WHY it is costing so much money.

What did I say about Making things better instead of just telling teens "It Gets Better". We have to make things better, and shine a light on these bigots...the cleansing light of a Flame Thrower!

Found a nest of those the hard way. Was helping a guy prepping a house for painting. I was on the roof prepping some over hangs. When I got stung the first time. No biggie I thought I'll swat it and go on. I looked down and saw about 10 of the fuckers on my stomach and more streaming out of a hole in the roof. Then as more and more landed on me they all stung about the same time. I screamed, rolled, fell, landed on top of a fence, pinwheeled and landed on the guy. (All the while getting stung again and again) we both screamed. We are now both being stung. Scrambled and dove in to a near by pool. 80+ stings. 3 cracked ribs and 2 broken fingers. (No idea how I broke them) I decided no to work outside anymore after that.
Mother nature does not like me and I've not found enough money to buy a flame thrower so I could fight back.


My father is a carpenter so dealing with wasps was a regular thing. Rather than a flamethrower, we found a plain old hand saw to be the most practical line of defense. I dubbed it the "bee accelerator". Waving it through the air is a great way to fend off dozens of them at a time. They also make a very satisfying *ping!* as they hit the blade.

Of course the most important part of dealing with wasps is to be aware of them before they start stinging you. If you find yourself totally surprised, all bets are off.

Congrats on breaking my record for most stings in a single attack, though. I've only ever managed about 30-35.

Your pain is my amusement. Oh well, you did get a pretty badass story out of it >> ^skinnydaddy1:

Well the old saying it true. "“Comedy is tragedy plus time.” -Carol Burnett
and thanks to the internet that comedy gets to the public even faster.
I feel we shall be laughing at the maker of these videos soon. The act of using glass bowls over wasp spray or more efficient means will provide the general public with pain and comedy soon.
