So i begin

So I shall begin my reign of historical information. On this day in 1827 the first friction matches were sold a great day for pyros everywhere. Matches are a wonderful thing. I personally prefer the diamond strike on box matches. Book matches are ok but can be overly frustrating. Bic lighters are good for disposable lighters. There are also kits to turn bics into pressurized butane lighters. Zippo's are the preferable butane lighter because of all the tricks and fun stuff you can do with them. Pressurized butane lighters are fun but it is worth spending the extra money on them becaue the cheaper ones become useless after some use.
