Tony and Cleaneduphippie, we also had a little trick for mood adjustment but not quite the same situation of which you speak. I swear my room mate at WCU was a pyromaniac. Anyway, during those intense episodes of cramming for exams, tension would get the better of some and of course release was necessary. We lived on a floor of about 32 give or take a few depending on time of year. The walls were cinderblock and the floors tile. Most guys kept their doors open so as to keep the "family" atmosphere going. Well about 2 or 3 am when the coffee, caffeine pills and whatever else you had to stay awake got to us, he would pull out a tennis ball. Then he would soak it in lighter fluid liberally, ignite it and send it bouncing down the hall way. First it grabs your attention as it flies by and puts off quite a sound as well. If you've never experienced this, and hopefully you haven't, its hard to describe. Pity the poor soul whose room the flying flame would intrude upon! I'm sitting here laughing with tears thinking about some of those nights. I can't believe we didn't set someone's room on fire doing that. He had some other tricks with lighter fluid that are better left with those dorm memories. Disclaimer - do not try this at home (or anywhere for that matter!) lmao
