Well as to the engine case... we do, or have done so. BenT cringes
when we do cause the smoke is poisonous, the light is dangerous and
the heat is, well, hot. Makes glass out of the sand.
For some reason this worries him.
He, BenT, often brings a wood cutout of a van which we ritually burn,
you know, dance naked around the fire, paint ourselves blue - oops
that's not paint it's just the cold. and the like.
Maybe this year if someone has one. I'm out.
