Barbecue lighter?

Huh. Doesn't sound quite right in a query letter for a bridal magazine on "practical tips from a wedding coordinator." Maybe I'll just call it a lighter.

But a cigarette lighter doesn't work nearly as well for candles -- it isn't designed to burn horizontally. When I hear "lighter", I think "cigarette lighter".

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Susan, Bic calls it a utility lighter

I've heard it called a utility lighter before as well as a multi-purpose lighter (although this last is a translation from Spanish, so take it with a grain of salt).

There's a product I usually refer to as a "candle pistol" because you pull a trigger and it produces a flame. But it's much bigger than a cigarette lighter. What's its real name?

In our house, it's called the clicky fire thing, and is usually taken away from me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"the big lighter...no, not that one, the big one with the trigger" at my house.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Grill lighter.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Timelies,

Yesterday, 60 degrees and sunny. Today, 32 degrees, cloudy and windy as heck. Got to love March in Chicagoland. If you're a crazy person.

But sometimes people stop smoking the monkey crack to nibble on lead-based paint.
