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.

LoudTrax is running a contest (with Motörhead merch as prizes) to see who can do the best version of Lemmy's "Krakatoa Surprise" recipe. Contestants are dared to mix up a batch of flour, chocolate syrup, refried beans, strawberry syrup, curry powder and brandy, then set the mess on fire and eat it while it's still burning.

So to test my faith, I spooned blue flame into my mouth with an assist from grain alcohol. If you doubt, we'll post video footage tomorrow.

Place your bets now as to whether I'm typing this from the burn ward.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with Motörhead's "Whorehouse Blues," which will probably be the band's encore. And it's important to show that, yes, metalheads can still rock without the electric guitars. But can Josh Groban plug into a stack of Marshalls and ride the lightning? Point, Motörhead.

I doubt that you really spooned blue flame into your mouth.
