Thread Name: BS: Fireworks! Hate them!
Subject: RE: BS: Fireworks! Hate them!
Ya' know Bobertz, me, you, and Hawk, need to get together and blow some stuff up. I have a hundred tales I won't tell here but the three of us are definitely brothers.

Back about '83 or '84 I was living in Tennessee where they are legal and my friend Alan and I were both making more money than either of us had ever made so we pissed away almost $1500. for the 4th of July. We spent half the day organizing what to shoot and when and it took almost 2 hours to go through it all.......***sigh***.....Geeziz it was GLORIOUS!!!   We had 18 tubes in the ground for bottle rockets of any size and for a finale, we lit a row of 7 gigantic Dago bombs and sent up 36 large bottle rockets@2/tube. We were so busy lighting the stuff we didn't get to see as much as we liked but our friends and neighbors hanging around said it was terrific!

Of course some folks should never play with fireworks. There are about a zillion videos on YouTube with assorted idiots of both sexes launching bottle rockets out of the butts. I ain't gonna' link one. If you want to watch they're easy to find!...........LOL
