Dandelion Clock Fireball

Daemos

Okay so tonight the pyromaniac in me came out, and I asked myself what would happen if I tried to set a Dandelion Clock on fire

It's awesome, for two seconds it explodes into a mini fireball and then goes out

Everyone go outside, find a dandelion clock and light the head of it on fire

If you find a cluster of them together you won't be disappointed :pac:

Yep. They're called Piss-a-beds when they're yellow and clocks when it's the seed head. When I was little it was believed that you could tell what time it was by how many puffs it took to blow all the seeds away.

The rhyme I said was Jinny Joe Jinny Joe bring me back an eggieo
but jinnys joes were the white part of the dandelion flying in the wind when you caught a flying seed in the air and if there was a seed attached you could make a wish

Also tried lighting the clocks on fire tonight it was fecking great :pac::pac::pac::pac:

And the yellow dandelions are piss-in-the-beds!

Hence called as dandelions are a natural diuretic.

...setting flowers on fire, then its badger, then you find yourself arrested because you're standing outside the Dail with a lit Molotov...

sbsquarepants

They're called jinny joes, their purpose in life is to grant wishes and bring back easter eggs.
There is no such thing as a dandelion clock!

Considering that some people are calling them Jinny Joes (WTF?) I think we can agree that pissy/pissa is a quirk of pronunciation.

sbsquarepants

We will agree on no such thing! It's "Piss In The Bed"
Nothing else.
Speak more proper!!

I believe the French term is Pis en lit or something.

I know them as Weeeeds.

They were always pissy beds in my world. I will set some alight this evening for ****s and giggles.

Just did this. Definitely excellent.

With summer coming up and no real prospect of getting a job I was really worried about what I was gong to do for three months. I think I just found the answer here :P
