Hey!  How 'bout that!  I'm a veteran of "kick fires" and didn't even know
it?  In my circle of Virginia red-neck, unsophisticated friends, we call it
a "damn fire".  It's a little different, though.  In Virginia, we
stre-e-e-e-tch out with our foot and kick our friend, hoping he'll wake up
and go get some more wood.
