Florida Man tries baking cookies on an indoor grill after two liters of vodka, and the results are not great.

A Niceville man answered his door naked around midnight, said 'I'm sorry,' and closed it again as his smoke-filled home burned behind him. He'd been drinking two liters of vodka and smoking marijuana since 9 p.m. when he tried baking cookies on a George Foreman grill; when it caught fire, he tried smothering the flames with dry towels, which also caught fire. Officers removed him from the house after he showed no concern for his own safety.
