[featherynscale]

Today's experiment:
What burns when you touch it to an easy-light charcoal incense burner briquette?

Results:

Lights on fire:
- A match

Doesn't light on fire:
- Raffia
- Tissue paper (2-ply)
- Tissue paper (1-ply)
- Newsprint
- A q-tip
- Vodka (80 proof)
- Whisky (86 proof)
- Rubbing alcohol (at this point, we gave up on the alcohol line of pursuit)
- triadruid's beard

Can relate very stronly to the bonus find. It helps that my apartment is a basement one. And no room for 2 roomies with whom to cuddle. (I can cuddle with Racer, yeah, but it's not the same ...)

:(
In the winter, the Den of Iniquity loses much of its iniquitous character, and becomes the Frozen Basement of DOOM!™

But yeah, at least I sometimes have someone to sleep with. There's not really much of Racer to cuddle with -- maybe you could trade him in for a large friendly dog. Would they let you keep a Newfoundland in your apartment?

Lovely offer, but A) Couldn't and wouldn't trade Widdle Racer for the world, and B)Waaaay not enough room in my apt. for a Newfoundland, though I'm sure he/she/it is adorable.
