Ok, no way I can top rooster, but he inspired me to participate.
When I was about 13-14 my buddies dad dropped us off to tent camp at their families deer lease for the weekend. He unloaded our stuff and then went to the back of the truck and got a case of Bud out and set it down. Said to my buddy "your mom doesn't need to know about this" and drove off.
Their family owned a bud distributor so I guess it was a family right of passage....
So dusk comes and we are as drunk as Boudreaux and shooting and any noise in the brush we hear(thank goodness a 22 can't hurt a cow) We build a huge arse pile of dead wood for a fire but can't get it to light. So we decide to douse it with Coleman fuel from the cook stove. We're thinking it will be like lighter fluid.......wrong. It's as flammable as gasoline. I lean in with a burning paper plate to light it up and BOOM. So there I am on fire running for the creek and dropping and rolling on the ground in cow patties.
Buddies dad shows up two days later and my face and arms are bright red from second degree burns with no arm hair or eyebrows, all of my dark brown hair has white tips....that sucker laughs all the way back to town

That's hilarious. Sad part is today your buddy's dad would be locked up for negligence (or whatever charge it would be)

I have one similar but worse, my friend and I were camping on his family's original homestead in a one room cabin built way back when in the second Austin colony. We had found this big old thick iron safe missing it's door and put it inside for a fire box (it was winter and cold at night). So we build a fire in it and at around 11 we go to sleep, I am woke up by a pain in my shoulder only to realize the tinderbox 100+ year old cabin is on fire and so is my Carhartt jacket. I wake Russell up and we get out in time to watch his great x4 grandfather's hand built cabin go up in flames. His dad wore both our 15 year old asses out told my parents I was no longer welcome at their house and the only place anyone saw Russell for the next 2 years was at school.

I had a friend who liked fire at an early age. I grew up in the country, so we got away with a lot.
We were blowing up stuff at his house and he got out gasoline. I said I'm out and walked home. Next day he comes to school with no eyebrows and the front of his hair was receding and bright red cheeks.
For some reason, the good Lord always told me when to leave in a lot of those scenarios. I've avoided numerous MIPs, child porn charges (for reals), damage to private property, fights, and drug busts that my friend were not as fortunate about. Just always seemed like there was a line and when it got crossed it seemed like a good idea to leave.
