We consume this flame in honor of Motörhead and the Gods of Metal

Motörhead returns to Kansas City next month, so we must prepare ourselves. As John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus at the cost of his own head, and as the Aztecs used ritualistic slaughter to prevent the universe from collapsing every 52 years — look it up — sacrifices must be made.

As in all matters, we turn to Lemmy Kilmister for guidance. The Motörhead frontman and Northern Star of all that is good and true has devised his own test to purify the faithful and devout, which is why I spent my Friday night eating fire.
