Jim the Photographer, an on-air personality at WQLZ-FM 92.7, was listed in good condition Monday at Memorial Medical Center after sparks from a bottle rocket burned his buttocks Sunday at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.

The accident occurred about 5 p.m. outside the Exposition Building, before a station-sponsored concert featuring rock bands Atomship, Apartment 26, Cold and Sevendust.

"The bottle rocket exploded on the launching pad," said Jim, 49, whose real name is Jim McGill. "And the launching pad was my rear end."

McGill routinely performs physically punishing stunts on "Ray Lytle's Morning Disaster." On Sunday, he was shooting bottle rockets from his buttocks atop the station's promotional Hummer vehicle - a pre-show stunt he typically does for those waiting in line at concerts.

5. Why would a 49 year-old man, launch a bottle rocket out of his butt?

My educated guess (I did have a stint working for the Space Program) would be that he was aiming for Uranus.

And another thing.........I'm always amazed at what qualifies as entertainment to my fellow Illinoisians downstate, present company excluded, of course.

7. What's worse...

is people turned out, just because he'd be there to do that.

Which is worse? The stuntman or the audience?
