In a case of life purposefully imitating art, this is a video of Kentucky man Timothy Browning dressed as National Lampoon’s cousin Eddie in Christmas Vacation and clearing his driveway with a flamethrower like he’s emptying his RV’s chemical toilet into a storm sewer. The flamethrower actually works better than I expected it to at clearing that snow. So much better in fact that *lowering voice* the next time it snows around here I’m goi– “No, you’re not siphoning gas out of your gas tank to set the driveway on fire.” Haha, what? Of course not honey, that’s ridiculous. *under breath* I mean not my gas tank anyways.

Thanks to MSA, who agrees there’s nothing like the silent majesty of a winter’s morn; and the clean, cool chill of the holiday air.
