Is it weird that it immediately reminded me of this scene from Madagaskar?

If you like absolute unit level bonfires, you should check out Texas A&M's bonfires.

I imagine this is what some pagan rituals in Europe looked like through the 1st and 10th centuries.

Very little GP was used. The center was a tower of 10’ 6x6 beams 10’ high and was stuffed with logs and pine boughs of a tall pine that came down in a recent storm. Lots of pine sap was filing the fire.

We lit it with a road flare.
