I've walked on hot coals to get here

[cheeni]

I've just returned from a weekend of fun, where among other things I walked barefoot on fire - three times. Unlike the sissy here on the world record firewalk, I walked on charcoal, which has a higher calorific value! So what if he walked a few feet more? ;-)

This bout of madness was all mine, and no god or gods had anything to do with it. It was at a management / team building camp.

Jeesus! Not the stupid firewalking "management" exercise!! That thing has been SO discredited as a tool to build anything that it is not even funny.

At least I was not tender like the KFC bosses - "KFC bosses aren't chicken, but they sure are tender" (http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/02/27/1014704967158.html). That headline is on my all time favorite list :-)

WOW!
You should tell us more about the experience.

You can feel the hot coals; they feel hot, but not hurting. The sensory feeling is exactly as you would expect, except you survive without a burn.

There's nothing to it; the rational explanation holds. I did it because I could, and it seemed fun. I did it three times because I wanted to overcome any fear I had the first two times.

The first time was a blur where my mind blanked out; the second time I was hesitant to step on the coals but finally managed to, and the third time there was nothing to it.

Now, you should try bungee jumping, if you haven't already :D

Heh - so why bungee jumping?
