When Cueball refers to classic {{w|flashlights}} (battery torches) as dim and finnicky, this gives reason to assume that the flashlight he is holding is going to be ridiculously overengineered. |

Only the reflected light from the forest lights up the part of Cueball and Megan's faces that are turned towards it. |
Cueball comments that the flashlight lights up the entire forest, but Megan observes that it is the trees that are on fire, indicating that Cueball's flashlight is so overpowered that the energy of its beam is sufficient to cause the organic matter of trees to combust. | Cueball comments that the flashlight lights up the entire forest, but Megan observes that it is the trees that are on fire, indicating that Cueball's flashlight is so overpowered that the energy of its beam is sufficient to cause the organic matter of trees to combust. | ||

A number of companies market "tactical" flashlights that are supposedly powerful enough to incapacitate an opponant, using terms such as "scorching" to advertise their products. |
− | [[Randall]] | + | The title text refers to {{w|Fleshlight}} a brand of male masturbation toys modeled after various female or male orifices. Cueball (or [[Randall]]) claims that he only arrived on a forum for Fleshlight enthusiasts due to a typo. Apart from the "e" vs. "a" in Fleshlight, they are also fashioned to look like oversized flashlights. On that forum here he found out that the highest-end models of their product lines was also capable of setting trees on fire. This would probably happen due to violent vibrations inside the orifice, or excessively powerful internal heating. If you use one of these you should expect to obtain severe burns in a very unpleasant area. But some of the enthusiasts swear that it is still worth it, in the same manner that Cueball only cares about the intensity of the flashlight, regardless of the consequences. Maybe they are just trying to trick you into doing something stupid! |
