This guy had the right idea. Damn "white bull ****," I've had enough of it for one year too. And why they arrest him for that? The Second Amendment says "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." A flammenwerfer is a type of arms, no?

FARGO MAN ARRESTED FOR CLEARING SNOW WITH FLAMETHROWER Fargo, ND – Local resident Todd Fox has been detained for “reckless endangerment” and “illegal use of high-powered fire-breathing weaponry” for attacking snow with his flamethrower.

Fox reportedly became so fed up with the week-long blowing snow epidemic in his area that he decided to KILL IT WITH FIRE.

The neighborhood was treated with quite a show last night as Fox unleashed an inferno upon the mountainous snow palace that was his front yard. Neighbors to his immediate right and left noticed a bright orange cloud and could hear what they thought was “puff the magic dragon spewing mayhem all over hell,” which prompted one of them to notify police.

Fox stated that he was simply “fed up with battling the elements” and that he did not possess the willpower necessary to move “four billion tons of white bull ****.” Police say that Fox surrendered his efforts immediately upon their arrival and that his front yard “looked like a hydrogen bomb had gone off.” They think he was just happy to be done with snow removal, even if it did mean a trip to jail.

ans sheez, not allowed to burn leaves in your yard, not allowed to use a flamethrower to get rid of snow. I'm getting the feeling teh goverment doesnt want us playing with fire

Well, in their defense, it was a REALLY BIG flamethrower.

Would a flamethrower really be practical to use for snow removal?

Or, would it be better to have an airstrike with napalm?

Sure, there would be collateral damage, but at least the snow would be gone.

Surrender is still your slightly less painful option.

Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Is it too late to mention that thermite creates a temperature of above 2000° Celsium and is incredibly easy to make?

It lacks the pzazz of a flamethrower though. Plus it would ruin the turf.

Does a helluva job on concrete, too.


No, I have NO personal experience with the compound. Zero. None. Why do you ask? Pirate
