Flaming about desserts
This one may belong in net.booze....
Take a pineapple, hollow it out, and fill with 151-proof rum.  Surround it
with balls of assorted fruits, and ignite the rum.  (If you have trouble
lighting it, put a small amount in a spoon, heat the spoon with a match,
and then light that portion; pour it into the rest.)  The idea is to spear
the pieces of fruit (with long forks...), dip them in the flaming rum,
and -- while still aflame -- put them in your mouth.
It *does* work (if you close your mouth quickly); I've seen it and done it
(though that was before I grew some facial foliage).  But it's been my
experience that unless it's done in a large group where one person starts
doing so first, most people will blow out the flames first.
Note:  there is no warranty, expressed or implied, with this recipe.  I
categorically refuse to accept any claims for damages, either from eating
flaming balls of fruit, or from the after-effects of consuming 151-proof rum.
