Saturday night, and Garfield burns!
So why a burning party? Why not?!!
With vicky's comments about burning things that didn't sell, a seriously large can of worms had been opened. I mean, she mentioned burning AND she invited Jon to the party. What more did she think would happen??!!
Anyway, once the fire had got to a good roaring blaze, it was time to make some sacrifices to the fire gods. Jon comes out from the garage holding Garfield and asks me if he can throw it in the fire. I certainly couldn't resist the thought of seeing a furry little creature that was hardly funny, in all the years in print, and on TV, burning at the stake...so no, I didn't tell him he couldn't throw it in! Come to think of it, maybe we should have crucified him first, and THEN burned him! That probably would have made for some even better footage! Anyway, surprisingly enough, garfield must have had some good fire retardent material in him, as he seemed to last quite a while before really igniting.
Here you can see how garfield was burning from the other side.
Garfield is looking rather crispy here! Ah...what a sight!
And does he not look rather evil in this photo?
I'm not sure who had the idea to throw the Polaroid in the fire...but I wouldn't be surprised if this was also Jon. That being said, it was a rather entertaining burning...not only did I manage to get pictures of the polaroid burning, but the bulb inside exploded a few minutes after the polaroid was in the fire, sending people ducking for cover. Luckily...no one was injured - but it did get a good jump out of pretty much everyone!
Here's a cool closeup of flames coming out of the lens. You can just read the "P" in Polaroid in the lower left hand side.
Nothing like a large cardboard tube burning in the fire. Looks like a serious reefer! Nice effect...mike's idea.
Lastly, here's some shots of the book that for some reason, ended up in the fire...a book that none of us will miss i'm sure. That and the 2002 employers of the year...not exactly useful anyway.

What did Garfield ever do to you?
Yah, my sentiments exactly. Next time I'll know to put a caveat in the e-mail: no burning anything with a face.
Pyromaniacs!!
I'll have you know that I have a burn on the third toe of my left foot from Polaroid shrapnel. I'll get over it.
What are we going to sacrifice to the fire Gods when we go camping??
