Walking The Fire
If you're anywhere close to corporate america you will probably have been on one of those courses
described by the Scott Adams Dilbert character as 'Rivers and Trees'. They put you in teams and give
you some sheets of A4 paper some tape and an egg. You have you try to get the egg down from the first
floor window without cracking it. You may also be asked to sit in groups and choose items to help
survive certain imaginary scenarios, for example, stuck on the Moon too far from the spaceship to
survive (hint: use the gun. it's recoil will propel you backwards towards the spaceship). Later on they
added walking across the hot charcoal as the bullshit industry gathered steam.
I had the bones of the idea then had a night with JC in some hotel where I was doing some training at
work. We met in the bar as you do, the conversation turned to music and JC told me the secret of
getting the egg down one storey using the paper and tape.. Steve Dop actually did the carrying fat
Gemans bit, mind you it hasn't done him any harm...
They often have you doing videos at these ridiculous shenanigans, If anyone has any that's usable
please let me have it and I'll have a pop at a youtube vid. I know we'll all die trying to fight bullshit but wtf.

I'll walk the fire
I wont feel any pain
I'll climb up mountains
and come back again
I'll play that game
where we get lost on the moon
And figure out a way to get back soon
I'm walking the fire
cause that's your desire
Walking the fire
it's good for the soul
(according to you, that is)
Team building teacher
do you think if I beg
You'll show me how to make a
Parachute for my egg
You see I'm trying to make it right to the top
but it all depends what happens
when I let that egg drop
Walking the fire
cause that's your desire
Walking the fire
it's good for the soul
We've bought your motivation
and we're gonna take our fill
today we're blindfold carrying
fat Germans up a hill
we've also bought your new look
and we'll give it to our team
Great big bulging eyebrows
with no brains in between
and we're walking the fire
cause that's your desire
Walking the fire
it's good for the soul
Now my baptism is
essentially complete
two things I've got to show
first there's the blisters on my feet
and my new identity
no doubt about that
one confirmed certificated
Stupid f*cking prat
whose walking the fire
cause that's your desire
Walking the fire
it's good for the soul
Walking the fire (gee this is good)
etc etc
