Line 17:
The [[Badass Normal]] often showcases just how cool he is by always [[Unflinching Walk|calmly walking away]] from the building or car, and perhaps casually putting on his [[Cool Shades]] or lighting up a cigarette just as the explosion goes off. Badass characters don't have to run unless it's ''darned'' important. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqz5dbs5zmo Cool guys don't look at explosions].

For when a character doesn't outrun the fireball and [[Unflinching Walk|walks calmly out of and away from the fire anyway]], see [[Out of the Inferno]]. See also [[Convection, Schmonvection]]. In [[Real Life]], the accepted reaction to an approaching fireball is to either jump down a deep hole and pull it in after you, or bend over and kiss your ass goodbye. See also [[Bomb Disposal]] when this is done intentionally.
