Someone did ask.
Breitbart: The US Geological Survey is now warning residents of the island of Hawaii to avoid roasting marshmallows over lava flows or open volcanic vents, a report says.
The government office responded to a recent tweet by Vermont resident Jay Furr who wondered about the safety of eating a roasted puff cooked over volcanic flows, the BBC reported.
“Is it safe to roast marshmallows over volcanic vents? Assuming you had a long enough stick, that is? Or would the resulting marshmallows be poisonous?” Furr asked via Twitter. more

Try creosote or pressure treated wood
for EXTRA flavor dumbass…
” …Furr asked via Twitter. ”
Were there any other initials in that twitter handle? Someone we know having some fun? 🙂
Stupid people deserve what they get.
Why, yes it’s OK to do that, but only if you voted for Hillary.
Next it will be some idiot roasting hot dogs over hot lava.
Not only is auto-fill not working (still) but now I keep getting a “you are posting too fast” massage. WTF?
Has any Lib yet suggested outlawing volcanic eruptions?
RADIOATIONMAN, we had a factory here that processed telephone/power poles with creosote. Neighbor worked there and brought home the pole ends to burn as firewood. He nearly burned his house down when he got a chimney fire. Served him right, that stuff smelled up the hood. The factory is no longer here due to the pollution, and a cluster of its workers came down with liver cancer.
Of course it’s safe. Any food on a stick is always better.
Now run along and enjoy!!!
Who needs a lava flow? A tire lit with a 75% diesel and 25% gasoline mixture has less hydrocarbons.
The “Hot Lava Challenge.”
You know it’s coming.
Sure it’s safe, but only for liberals or other idiots.
Here come the Lava tourists.
The burn ward needs to do some prepping for the wave of:
Lava Jumpers,
People boiling eggs in the ocean next to the flow,
Extreme grilled cheese enthusiasts
Fans of Steak-on-a-Stick
Lava racers

Many, many moons ago back in the mid 70’s some Christian friends of mine tried to save a crazy street person by letting him live with them. It didn’t last long after they caught him roasting hot dogs stuck into a coat hanger plugged into an electrical outlet. That was it, I don’t know what happened to the guy nor do I care because he was an obvious dangerous and menacing idiot not only to himself but to my friends as well. We still laugh about it though. And I think they learned their lesson as well that you can’t save some people like this schlub..
I’m also getting sick and tired of getting linked to Business Insider when I hit the “back” button. What has happened to IOTW Report?

Years ago we had to hike through the jungle to get to the lava to poke it with a stick. Good luck roasting marshmallows. You can’t even stand next to actual red lava without feeling like your eyebrows are burning off. But by all means give it a go.
Forget the marshmallows. Roast Democrats over the lava vents as a way to extend the hand of friendship across the isle.
With a smile tell them you’re helping them to acclimate to the conditions at their eternal vacation home before they go, which btw would be nicer if they left sooner rather than later. All their pals will be there, including John McCain.
Hope they are intelligent enough to be sure and use an oleander stick to hold their food over the lava.

Don’t try such a dangerous thing. If you want to roast marshmallow’s safely there’s an easy way to do it if you have a gas stove. First thing to do is douse the pilot lights then turn the oven on to the broil setting and with door open allow gas to run for at least five minutes to bleed any air out of the lines, once this has been accomplished go ahead and ignite the pilots.
If you do, be sure to use Oleander branches.
The above was a little free guidance to Hillary voters….just trying to help.
It occurred to me how many windmills and solar arrays may have ironically been destroyed by this display of the planet’s thermal energy….
BTW, as long as the liberals wear their asbestos suits and breathing masks for safety, I’m OK with them having their S’mores!
What about weenies?
I love weenies!
I walked around one of the calderas on the Big Island a few years ago. There were hot vents in the ground where you could stick a whole chicken or a steak (wrapped in foil) and it would be cooked in probably 10-15 minutes.
After a few decades on this planet earth, there are a few things I won’t do. Cooking marshmallows over hot lava is one of them. Others:
Spitting into the wind.
Saying “Ju Mama” in Latin America
Talking sense to a liberal
Telling a woman she has “thunder thighs”
Flipping off a cop
Believing what Professors told me
Believing anything in the NYT
