Great Balls of Fire!

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) - Attempts to do a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing criminal charges. The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the "Jackass" movies, in which a character lights his genitals on fire.

Jared W. Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and genitals, according to the criminal complaint. Randell D. Peterson, 43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court.

Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said.

Fire is a good way to sterilize things. Let's hope it worked in this case.

Drinking Game

My wife suggested we come up with some drinking game to play during the State of the Union address. I agreed it would be better watched while drunk, but stuck with my seltzer.

Speaking of drinking, remember the classic ventriloquist's trick of taking a drink of water while the dummy continues to talk? Clearly, Cheney isn't good enough to pull that off, because when he took a drink, so did Bush.
