Man in dressing gown and slippers blasts flamethrower to clear snowy driveway

A man wearing slippers and a dressing gown cleared his drive-way using a flamethrower.

In footage of the unlikely spot of snow clearance Timothy Browning can be seen dressed as the character cousin Eddie from the Yule day classic 'National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation'.

He drinks from a can and pops a cigar in his mouth before unleashing the flame thrower outside his Ashland, Kentucky home.

Since the video, which is captioned “God bless Merica!!”, was uploaded on Christmas Day, it has been watched thousands of times.

In the first of two clips Timothy can be seen swigging from a can before letting rip with the flame thrower.

He wafts the jet of molten fury from side-to-side, causing the snow that it touches to melt instantly.

After several broad strokes he lifts the can to his mouth once again and takes a long, deep swig before casting it onto the ground.

In the second clip Timothy can be seen wandering down the driveway.

Ignoring the slushed ice that looks to be pooling in his slippers, he blasts the flame up in the air in response to a car's toot.

A woman behind the camera can be heard chuckling wryly as he does.

Timothy explained: “I thought it’d be funny for a video and wanted to clear off the under layer of ice on the driveway.”
