    What's even better is that they are disguised as condoms in the wrapping - so it's a candle that wants to be a book of matches that wants to be a condom #matchcandles

    Somewhere there is an emo wishing that these fire starters came soaked in clove oil and had black tips to light their cigarettes.

    How do you get convinced to stand there with a match in your mouth while ANYBODY, even Bruce Lee, swings Nunchucks at your head, is beyond me.

    @bosskev: Yes, I stopped when I lost my teeth, as I'm not sure how my false ones react to flame. I tried convincing my dentist to give me Titanium teeth a la OddJob, so I could claim them as a work tool if I stripped wire with them, but he said no. I still do have the matches, though.

    Bruce is awesome vs normal guys, but you have to factor size/weight of the opponent. I mean any UFC guy can take him out.

    @Ken_Darrow: Maybe, maybe not. UFC, or any type mixed Martial Arts contest, generally comes down to your ground fighting skills, since most fights end up on the ground. Bruce Lee was supposedly an excellent ground fighter. But with Bruce it would never have to come to that. He was so fast he'd whip em before they had a chance to take him down.


    But it's really all speculation. Some people say he can fly, and shoot lasers out of his eyes.
