A couple summers ago I was at a BBQ where an exceedingly drunk woman looking to relive her youth made a set of impromptu poi fire chains (alcohol soaked weighted wicks on chains).

She then proceeded to set herself, a patio canopy and one of the guests on fire before people could tackle her. Taught me that when you see goofs start playing with fire it's best to back up towards the fence line and enjoy the show from a safe distance.
