I LUV how grandma is showing off her arm guns to be like ‘Yeah, look right here. This one lights things up!, and then grandpa’s just standing and smiling thinking ‘Mmhmm, I like a lady who sets things on fire. FEISTY!’.
and then there’s just that guy leaning against the back of the car watching the light show..
I would love to know the actual story behind this one.
1. “Hey pull the car over, let’s get a picture!”
2. “That’ll show those danged Amish we mean business!”
3. “I told you that hay was dry.”
The epitome of an awkward family photo — taking pictures of unpleasant moments. Most people take pictures of happy times, and not the sad times or the disasters. Way to go, awkward family!
And this brought back memories of my dad. He loved to burn things. not damage anyones propery, but if there was a cut down tree and brush, it would be in a 8 foot high pile and lit on fire. There were many days when we had the firemen come to our house. Ahhhh, the good ole days. Too bad I never thought about taking a picture when he was in his glory. There IS something quite mesmerizing about watching a fire.
HA!HA! My Dad likes to burn things too! And always at the most inappropriate times.. like when it’s dry and windy! My brother and I call him Pyro-Papaw!
Oh darn, this picture is a bit dark. Could you two move back a hundred feet or so? Yeah the light is better back there. Just keep smiling and looking at the camera…
This photo was taken right before gram and gramps burst into song and dance – “We didn’t start the fire, no it’s always burnin’ since the world’s been turnin”…

burn baby burn, disco inferno!
Gram & Gramps Rock!
I would like to be the adopted granddaughter of these two!
well that’s just spooky and evil…. “welcome to our home in the dark forest- come in for a cup of tea and a bed for the night”
brings a whole new meaning to being ‘tucked up all toasty’ in bed
It’s getting hot in here so take off all your clothes…
On second thought, leave them on.

Where’s the beer?
Car leaning guy has seen this all before. Grandma and Grandpa are barn burning newbies.
the guy to left — he’s the RFD. Like Mayberry. Only Aunt Bee’s sick of Andy being late for dinner.
“Well I said to Mavis, I said, ‘Mavis, I feel like lightin’ a fire today,’ and dad-burn it if she didn’t point me to the barn and give me a Zippo.”
‘Finally, all these years op paying insurance contributions will pay off…‘
I would love to know the actual story behind this one.

They don’t look very sad though. And Grandma has a bit of an evil grin. I’m sure it was a planned, controlled burn.
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.
We don’t need no water….
“Okay, take it, take the picture while the light’s good!”
I love how grandma is giving a coy, sexy look. Doesn’t everyone feel sexy after lighting their house on fire?
“Ethel, did you remember to take our life savings out of the mattress before I lit the match?”
“Oh, crap.”
Looks like Pa got caught smoking in the barn again! “Now THAT’S a fire!” lol
Looks like Granny is saying, ” Yeah, That’s right. We still get it on, and it’s hot! So hot, we burnt the barn down!”.
If they lived in California, they wouldn’t have this petty problem of “burning your own barn”, pft.
I totally missed the guy on the left watching.

My dad was the same way. Unfortunately for him, we lived next door to the fire station. It kept him check most of time.
“You seem a little chilled there sweetheart..I’ll get you your red sweater and light the fire…”
Just before Ma and Pa cashed that insurance check, this photo turned up crushing their American dream of making it rich by screwing someone else.
“It’s not our barn.”
Ya, why would we set fire to our OWN barn anyway? Jeesh!
I love it.
This one kind of makes me sad – until I see the devilish grin on grandma! I guess the old barn was in the way!
Don’t look so pleased with yourselves. I parked the tractor in there last night.

Any poser can carry around a towel once a year, but a TRUE Hitchhiker’s Guide fan has a third arm attached, a la President Beeblebrox.
Today Granny proudly became a true fan.
Zaphod was way better looking though. And where’s the second head.
And sadly this picture surfaced to knock down their insurance claim.
What’s really funny about this photo is the lack of concern that they may burn down the whole community with a barn burning!
Isn’t that Janet Reno? Oh, sorry. I’m in the wrong line…
Now, that’s funny!
Ditto, you actually did make me “lol”
Hahahahhahahahah – me toooooooo!
Honest, Mr. Insurance Man, lightening struck it! Really! We just happened to be walking by when bam! All gone.
“Hah, we showed the mortgage company. Let em repo this!”
Looks like a pig barn that is right down the road………..oh wait, I think I smell bacon!!!!
Take THAT Marney!
It was that Ben Quick, I tell ya! He’s just a barn burner!
One of my favorite movies, Marie! Long Hot Summer! God bless Paul Newman.
Keeping the home fires burning.

Winner!!! LOL
LOL! Bonfire! Woo! x] They look so proud. -Note, the man with the chair watching the barn burn? (To the Left <<)
Amazing.
Once the tapes from the barnyard’s Horse-Cam were reviewed, the arson investigation came to a rapid conclusion.
That’s a great cartoon caption for F-Minus or Farside! Love it!
Barn? You must be mistaken…we don’t have a barn…anymore…mwahahahahahaha!
Hoooo-WHEE!! Now that’s a FARR!
Did you turn off the stove ? No, did you ?
I thought you said we were going to a BBQ
“Durn selfish kids thought we was leaving them the estate! Hahahahah!”
War Damn Eagle! I took the picture!
As long as someone remembered the marshmallows, I’m okay with this.
‘Dat ‘il teach dem cattle to moo!”
“Look when I said you had a hot property…”
For some reason I don’t find this awkward or odd at all. What is wrong with me? Have I been living out in the hills too long….!!??
Yes.
That’s an excellent intense raging fire they’ve got going there.
Is no one worried about perhaps the forest going up in flames too?
Reminds me of an episode of Little House On The Prarie. They had a rat infestation in their grain storage and had to burn it down.
It’s amazing what evidence a gallon of gas and a match can hide!
