I used to own* a Zippo
It was brushed steel, plain. I wonder what happened to it? I didn’t smoke, but it was ‘cool’ and I’m always figeting with something. If only I’d come across this site back then: Zippo Tricks Bound To Impress And Amaze.

Kids, don’t try these at home!

(Of course, if you are like me, you will want to check the Bloopers, before you check the tricks!)

* Thanks Jenny – I did own it, I didn’t win it – to all others: corrected speeling mistook
