Hmmm, replace the hairspray with DELETED and DELETED and then you'd really make a fireball!!!

I grew up with a kid that had serious habits like that. His face is for ever scarred in a tiger stripe blast pattern originating from the center nose/mouth area. Seems he was looking a little too close at his handy work when it went off. About a year later he blew part of his hand off with a decorative cannon like sits on a desk. Packed it with smokeless powder after drilling a "touch hole". Touched it and a good portion of his mitt off.

Ever notice all the videos were filmed in the latrine. Think his folks know??

No, it wasn't me. I had access to oilfield explosives that were the real deal.

So if I take a pyrotechnic teen on a camping trip over a holiday and not check his ruck before hitting the trail to make sure he doesn't have 50 cubic inches taken up by assorted hair care products and fireworks, he can start a fire when my five back ups fail and he isn't moping down by the river in angst.

So-o-o-o-o, Blast, let's see some photos of the fireworks, if you made it through with all body parts intact. If you didn't, well, we'll require video. wink

Happy 2009 to all.

Before reading through the list of replies my immediate thought was...Don't let Blast see it...then I noticed he did....then I thought...it doesn't matter...Blast's done far worse......

I too have all 10 fingers and toes.....though a few have gotten singed over the years.....
