I have so many fond memories of Eddie and we shared many moments together. Of those, it'll always be the funniest which will stand out the most.
We were both young and mischevious and we lived together which was a combination for trouble.
To be responsible, I would NOT recommend that anyone do this.
But, one day, we got a hold of some lighter fluid. I think it was for a lighter I had just got, maybe a zippo. Anyways, I'm really not sure how it started, I think we were talking about lighting pennies, or something, and moved on to setting things on fire with lighter fluid. It started small, in our living room with mini rolled up tissue paper, dipped in lighter fluid, extinguished in the ashtray. But the thing is, the bigger the flame got the more excited we became. However, we were sane people and we didn't feel like burning our apartment down so we kept it in control. We moved the operation to the bathroom where we could light bigger wads of paper on fire and then immediately flush it down the toilet. So here we are, squished in the bathroom, lurched over the toilet, lighting paper dipped in lighter fluid on fire getting more and more excited. I think that it was also cool to see how quickly the fire would go out once we flushed the toilet. It kept getting bigger and bigger with different types of paper, different set ups, more lighter fluid. It got to the point, and this is the last thing we did, where we actually took the time to figure out how to build an orgami boat, fill it with wadded lighter fluid paper, light that shit on fire and watch our little origami boat burn a little before it went spiralling down the toilet, and for some reason, this was a lot of fun to us.
I think that this was probably the most dangerous thing we did there. We had so many toys up in that spot, I mean, it was crazy...
Later on I moved to another place with a fireplace, I remember sitting in front of that with Eddie chatting, laughing, and watching the wood burn.
