"You know me, it’d be a pillar of flame that literally roared and stomped all over the place."

I've been thinking about that. I seem to recall that one can amplify sound by attenuating the throat of a gas-fed flame.

Hmm.

I can use that idea, I think.

Sounds like an old and quite sinister bagpipe tune, a piobaireachd (pibroch) called "Lasan Phàdruig Caogach", or "A Flame of Wrath (for Squinting Peter)." Many people died fiery deaths in the making of that tune.
