Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Nurse, could I get a light on this artery here? HEY, NOT THAT KIND!
Seattle police launched an investigation on Friday to determine how a patient undergoing emergency heart surgery caught on fire at a local hospital in 2003. The male patient, who was not identified, went up in flames after alcohol poured on his skin was ignited by a surgical instrument. The patient died after the surgery but that was due to heart failure and not the fire, said Dr. Robert Caplan, medical quality director of Virginia Mason.
Presumably being set aflame didn't help the heart condition, though. ("Holy shit, I'm on fire!" beeeeeeeeeeeeep) In related news, Flaming Dr. Peppers may be a bad idea, but the comic potential is enormous.
TrackBackOK,
Flaming Dr. Peppers do not, in fact, taste like Dr. Pepper. And after you have 5, one after the other, something starts to taste like grass! I burned one of my eyebrows on the 3rd one...
I liked the clip of the dude catching himself on fire. And quick thinking on his friend's part to attempt to put out the flames on his face with more alcohol.
I would like to take this time to note that I've never witnessed someone set on fire with B-rips.
Alcohol and fire is always a bad idea. Be safe, say yes to B-rips, and NO to Flaming Dr. Peppers.

Posted by: washerdreyer at April 18, 2005 11:59 PMI would be mighty surprised if a Flaming Dr. Pepper actually does taste like a Dr. Pepper, but they must be called that for a reason, right? At any rate, that's what they were called at that party in particular.
Man, that was a great party.
That said, I also wholly endorse saying NO to FDPs.

dumb ass...
Depth Charges are less dangerous, too (and in both cases, a real pro catches the shot glass in their mouth) but don't provide the stoopid factor that B-rips do.
