I would like to tell everyone that I just started a fire WITH NO MATCHES! Woohoo! I used one of these.

And no, I wasn't camping or hiking or anything, I just started a fire in my backyard. With no matches. BECAUSE I CAN!!!

    Yes! I totally forgot about that thing!

    My dad had one of those scrapey things. Awesome. Now you can light all those fuzz sticks even without matches!

    lol! That is good, because the one and only useful thing I learned at camp was how to make a fuzz stick. (I do not consider knowing how to make a hideous doll out of a mop head to be a useful thing.)

    During Finals week my department had a party that was part for holidays and part to celebrate our lab tech getting her citizenship. We got her a cake and candles (that's the only cake decoration we could find with a flag), but then realized the department didn't have matches. Thing is, they usually start the bunsen burners with the sparky-things ... not sure how to describe them, but they wouldn't start a fire. I suggested they use one to start a bunsen burner and then use that to start the candles, but I think they finally did find matches.
