I have no idea what you are talking about.

Wait, flammable sun screen? That's definitely safe. Be sure to spray your whole family down with it before you go to that BBQ cookoff.

I understand that you are new here, however please look over the Rules.

http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/rules.html

I am going to leave this open to discussion about using sunscreen as a propellant, however I highly suggest you use proper grammar in your posts. You mention that you are in 8th grade, so I am sure you know how to use capital letters and periods. No one will take you seriously if you continue to type the way you have been.

Edit: well PC beat me to this...

It would be advisable that you make an attempt at proper grammar/spelling when you post.
Most members find unreadable posts to be extremely annoying and will usually yell at whoever is responsible for them. This isn't an instant messenger.

You should also note that this isn't a site full of "dumb teenagers" as opposed to what most outsiders might think. It will help your reputation if you avoid sounding like one.

ok so now that this is clear to him..........What brand of sunscreen are you using? Look at the back of the bottle and maybe could you tell us the flammable contents??

Edit: And just to make sure, since you are new, make a decent attempt to look around for information rather than asking. Repetition annoys most of the people here but for now i dont mind to much. This place is a goldmine of spudgun related knowledge. This is the largest database of spudguns existing currently and information is only added to this site as we experiment and exchange thoughts. So whatever you maybe eventually looking for, it will be here on spudfiles. Make sure to use the wiki and the search.

I'll expand on that - This is a site full of intelligent teenagers with the knowledge, capacity and will to damage things very quickly, violently and irreparably from some distance away.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Well, I am currently both a teenager and an adult (19 - that's both), and you don't get to do that for much of your life.

So I'm an adult trusted to do things that people don't frown upon you doing when you're a teenager.
