Ja, ja...

That reminds me of an incident awhile back at an Egils- it was 
wetwetwet, and a guy in the next camp over was trying to light a fire- 
with a blowtorch. He even put starter fluid on it. Mind you , he was 
using green wood, and it was raining, but he kept trying for close to an 
hour.

We had three Eagle Scouts in our camp, and it took them about five 
minutes to get a fire going, and we had breakfast and were cleaned up 
while Sparky was stilll futzing with flammable stuf. And no, he did not 
ask for help.

Hmm... are Eagle Scouts the mundane equivalent of Laurels or Pels? They 
really are pretty Peer-like. (And there is an amazing number of them 
amongst the Chiv...)
