<human>: Me and my friend are sitting in my room looking through reddit, and playing with a ping pong ball when it breaks and we realize, "This smells like Vick's vapor rub." So I automatically take a lighter and think "This'll be cool." After thinking a little more I figured it might be a bad idea though, and set it down. My friend decides to hell with caution and continues this experiment. After a few seconds of trying to get the lighter to light he puts it up to the ping pong ball. It erupts into a flaming molten plastic ball in his hand, he calmly shouts "OH HELL!!" throws it across my room, into my open dresser almost catching my wardrobe on fire and waiting a few seconds to "appreciate" the beauty of it before beating it out with a sock.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Friend lights ping pong ball, ping pong ball erupts into flames, almost ignites wardrobe, friend regrets nothing.
