12/7    I bought several portable handwarmers from Restoration Hardware as
        Christmas gifts-- they're basically similar to Zippo lighters (where
        you fill the saturate the lower reservoir with lighter fuel, then light
        a wick of sorts on top).  Only thing is, it just won't fucking work.
        I'm nauseated by the fumes, my hands are covered with dry spots from
        spilled fluid, but I can't get the damn burner to stay lit without
        completely flaring up.  Is there any trick you need to do with new
        zippos?  thanks.
        \_ Son of a BITCH!  I just burnt my hand picking the damn thing up.
           I guess it's kinda lit...  hooray.
        \_ I bought a replica WWI trench lighter there several years ago
           and had the same problem with spilled fluid and fumes.  I think
           their stuff is just cheaply made, but it was a cool lighter.
        \_ Use the newer proheat reusable chemical hand warmers. Those
           things you have are basically wwII tech. Where are you
           that you need a handwarmer?

5/6     So much for the $1M-per-piece "mine-resistant" vehicle.

        \_ Armor piercing shells from Iran can do that ya know.
           \_ AP from Syria works fine, too, and those AP shells smuggled
              out of Afghanistan are da BOMB.
              \_ Out of Afghanistan?  No.  They're going _into_ Afghanistan
