I went to a bonfire drinking party tonight. (Super Hot Photo inside)
Sunday, May 4th, 2008 - 12:00am
Yep, and there was alcohol here. They'd put a bunch of cut-up fruit into a bowl , then poured a bunch of rum over it. After letting it soak for about 12 hours, they then poured a cup of sugar over it, then a bunch of wine. Those little fruity chunks were kind of like jello-shooters in their devious alcoholic stealthiness.
Anyway, I picked up a new Digital Camera the other day (not sure if I'll keep it, I have a week or so to make up my mind) - and I snapped an image of the bonfire with my Sony DSC-H3 (twilight mode, image stab. off)
Everyone kind of went 'whoaaaaa' when I loaded it up - feast yo' eyes!
Any crazy self-taken photos of your own you'd like to share, feel free!

Damn. My wife has a neat picture of a fire I took on her flickr account but there doesn't seem to be anyway to link to it. One thing though, if you've got your heart set on a Sony, why not save up and get the Alpha? It's not a half bad DSLR, and with the level of control it would afford you, you'd be able to take pictures like this deliberately.
Not that you'd want to after the novelty wore off, of course. No matter how much rum-soaked whole-grain fruit-flavored ethanol-induced nuttiness possessed you.

I remember going to a bonfire party after high school graduation. I don't drink, and am a pyromaniac, so I put myself in charge of the fire. The fire was noticed by someone who lived nearby, and they called the cops. I ran with everybody else into the woods (even though I wasn't drinking). I spent the next two hours leading 5 drunk people through woods I wasn't familiar with to one of their houses in the middle of the night, with nothing but a couple cheap lighters and whatever stars were visible through the trees and clouds. When we were driving home (after we got to the house) we stopped to watch a house that had caught fire. It was an interesting night.

Isn't "bonfire drinking party" rather redundant? At least for me, even when I was 16 if I was going to a bonfire, I was going to a drinking party

By "super hot photo" I assumed you meant you had a picture of naked chicks dancing drunkenly around the fire. This picture is cool, but it could be improved on if there was a hot naked chick in it. Like maybe in the lower right hand corner there was a bare-breasted maiden drinking a flagon of mead.

Same here. Pictures of fire are cool, but this fails to deliver

Ah yes. Pagan festivals, sky-clad, bonfires, mead, fire leaping, and the smell of singed pubes.

Very cool!
Here you go. Taken with my digital camera back in 2001 and contains fire! For some reason, I feel like I posted this somewhere on GWJ before.
There should be a "Share This" on the top right hand side of the picture page, letting you embed it, email it or post to a blog. It may not be enabled her on account for the public, so make sure you're logged in. I used the feature for the photo I posted above.
Edit: Of course, after suggesting the share this feature, the photo doesn't show up in my post with the code given to me.
Edit2: Read the very obvious notes regarding allowed html tags and used the image button. Share this is a no go.

For anyone new, that picture is about as far from Marsman as you're ever going to get.

Yes. Only she should be standing straight up, with her back slightly arched.
But then Certis would ban it.

After he saved it to his hard-drive, yes.
