I'm...back. Took a while to bite through the ropes, but I'm back.

I once had a kid fire a model rocket (not a fireworks kind) onto the roof of my house. I kept it, told him he could have it back if his father came with him to ask for it. For a very long time I had a model rocket; I threw it away when I moved.

Personally, I don't care for fireworks that explode anywhere but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up in the sky. Fountains and stuff that don't explode are okay, but not stuff that goes bang.
