FARGO MAN ARRESTED FOR CLEARING SNOW WITH FLAMETHROWER

Flamethrowing-Snow-Story

February 18, 2013: Fargo, ND – Local resident Todd Fox has been detained for “reckless endangerment” and “illegal use of high-powered fire-breathing weaponry” for attacking snow with his flamethrower. Fox reportedly became so fed up with the week-long blowing snow epidemic in his area that he decided to KILL IT WITH FIRE.

The neighborhood was treated with quite a show last night as Fox unleashed an inferno upon the mountainous snow palace that was his front yard. Neighbors to his immediate right and left noticed a bright orange cloud and could hear what they thought was “puff the magic dragon spewing mayhem all over hell,” which prompted one of them to notify police.

Fox stated that he was simply “fed up with battling the elements” and that he did not possess the willpower necessary to move “four billion tons of white bull shit.”

Police say that Fox surrendered his efforts immediately upon their arrival and that his front yard “looked like a hydrogen bomb had gone off.” They think he was just happy to be done with snow removal, even if it did mean a trip to jail.

9. and I'm glad it didn't

the flammable liquid used in the flamethrower would spread out on top of the melted snow creating a dangerous mess.

The Russians know how to do this correctly, bolt a MIG-15 engine on the front of a plow truck. Snow blower and melter all in one:

6. Alas, 'tis bogus

but it inspires me to create a new art form. Careful use of a flamethrower could sculpt some marvelous shapes into mountains of snow.
