No doubt you've noticed that as a Fire Demon you now spew and erupt in flames
every time you're peeved. Not cool. To keep loss of life and property damage
(not to mention your insurance rates) to a minimum, it's essential that you stay
calm. Below, please find pointers on ways to keep the fire of your ire from
causing everything and everyone you hold dearβand some you don'tβfrom being SCORCHED.

Take a Load Off, LEVITATEβLevitation is a classic sign of
demon possession. And, since you're sure to get larger as more evil flows into
your body, why not give those constantly growing bones of yours a rest and float
off the floor awhile? After all, unless you're investing in new shoes every week
or two, your dogs must be constantly barking. And that's enough to make even an
angel cranky.
Create your own customized yoga routineβEveryone knows that those
who are possessed by demon spirits are subject to involuntary contortions, so
your head probably now spins on your shoulders all hours of the day and night.
Well, take those lemons and make lemonade! Add a couple of additional moves and
instead of "Downward-Facing Dog" you'll impress all those would-be yogis in your
exercise class with something they'll NEVER be able to emulate:
"Backward-looking Spawn of Satan."
Express YourselfβAs one of the newly possessed, you no doubt often
find yourself simultaneously speaking in multiple voices. So, do yourself a
favor and start jotting down possible soothing topics as they occur to you
throughout the day. Then, anytime you start sounding like a room full of folks
all talking at once, select a topic. Discuss!
Study LanguagesβEvery demon speaks in tongues, so why not make the
effort to figure out what you're actually saying? That's right, learn a new
language! Well, actually, it will be among the most ancient languages ever
spoken, but new to you. So, the next time someone is foolish enough to annoy
you, blister them with frightening-sounding gibberish (to them, you'll know
exactly what you're saying) instead of flames!
Become a CollectorβSince your need for fire extinguishers is now
high, why not start a collection in all shapes, colors and sizes? Keep a LARGE
supply everywhere you tend to spend time: your home, tool shed, office, car, and
so forth. You'd also be wise to share your collection with anyone that you'd
like to stay alive... and even those you don't much care about. Because, no
matter how annoying you find your neighbor, stomping over to his house and
torching him the next time he returns your lawn mower without gas isn't going to
help your property value.
BarbecueβWhat better way to while away a weekend afternoon than
inviting your neighbors for an outdoor meal. No need to worry about the weather
or the season. If it's raining, just put up some flame-resistant umbrellas;
because no matter how low the temperature, your breath alone should keep
everyone toasty. Don't bother purchasing one of those expensive gas grills for
the occasion, either. With a little fine-tuning, it's possible to singe your
guest's steak to medium-rare all on your own. And if your special BBQ sauce
seems hot as Hadesβwell, let's just say you won't find that recipe in Julia
Child.
