Flaming Shots (with video!)

I mentioned that I was at my husband's brother's wedding this past weekend in sunny Palm Springs, California.  There are lots of things to do in the desert, like 1) drinking, and 2) lighting things on fire.  At the rehearsal dinner, my husband's cousin combined those two things - watch him below:

It is unbelievable that he didn't burn up like Richard Pryor.  You may need to watch it again.  Notice in the upper left hand corner at the end you still see him on fire.  People tried to pat the fire out, but it wasn't going out so they finally had to rip the shirt off of his back and beat him with it.  Sorry I missed the rescue, but my natural reaction when a human being is on fire is to put my camera down.  Somehow he managed to make it through and continued partying.

A note to all you bartenders out there - don't pour a flaming shot comprised entirely of Bacardi 151 - just top it with 151 and use a less flammable alcohol as the base of the shot.  Regardless, I won't be joining my husband's family when they do flaming shots in the future.
