1. I think it's encouraging you
to blow yourself up in a most spectacular manner. Maybe the extra-spicy Vindaloo?

Indian food doesn't come with fortune cookies. But I did slather my dish with garlic chili sauce, two different brands, and it was tasty - even if on a suddenly coated superficial level.

2. I believe they're suggesting a peaceful demonstration...

4. Honestly, I'd sooner get out there and SUPPORT the war, instead
of dousing myself with gasoline and have a pal throw a zippo at me.

10. It means you're supposed to blow Thomas Kinkade live at a local mall

12. No, I think it means I'm supposed to take the footage of you blowing
T. Kinkade and convert it into a free laser light show and broadcast it live and on the internet by beaming it against Mt. Fuji. That way, I can paint with light, and you can get your rocks off all over again :P

21. Add "In Bed" to the end of it--THEN it makes sense.
"Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn--IN BED." Sounds to me like you are due for a successful new career as a porn star. Laura
