Make a huge Bic lighter from one out of fuel.

This is a very American thing - blowing stuff up as a kid in class or after school. I used to have GIJoes and an Evil Kneivel doll with a motorcycle. When not blowing them up with fireworks. I would light them on fire with lawn mower gas. Lol!

I have five older brothers, so I know and understand the latent pyromania. Every GI Joe I got as a hand-me-down was missing a limb.

I used cans of WD-40 and a Zippo on green plastic army guys. I burned so many on the garage windowsill that they melted and jammed the window shut because they stuck to the frame.

One of our favorite activities was pouring nail polish remover on our bike tires, then setting them on fire and riding around in the dark. We called it "Ghostrider" because of the comic book character. We switched to "Nightrider" sometimes, because "Ghostriding" meant jumping off your bike and sending it flying.

 I exported this activity to my cousin (he was the same age with a similar sized, but better-behaved family.) One summer night we rode through the dry grass of his front lawn and burned up a huge swathe of it. His parents had no idea what caused the damage.
