To relight the discussion wet-blanketed by Monte Davis (Joking, that was a 
very thought-provoking post, thanks).

Ball-lightning incident

Ed Harris on usa-tesla has discovered that argon gas lets you make a large 
'plasma globe' effect at ambient pressure. Build a battery-powered Tesla 
Coil, clip it to your belt, and run a wire out to an argon-filled mylar 
sphere. When turned on, the tip of the wire will grow a large blazing white 
ball of lightning filaments. Run screaming through the night, chased by a 
ball-lightning in a hardly-noticable clear bag. Charred, smoking clothes 
would be good too. Ahhhhhhg! It's biting me!
