Me too… I just love blowing shit up.. ever since I was 4 years old blowing up my toy soldiers on the battle field… lighting my plastic toy airplanes on fire and running around the yard pretending I had to bail out. Graduating to pipe canons blowing out ball bearings at targets 100 feet away in the back yard. I just loved putting time fuses on fire crackers back in 7th grade (lit cigarettes with firecracker fuse tucked under the paper skin) knowing precisely when it would go off… dropping those of in choice locations for some adolescent amusement. Of course, I don’t do that shit anymore having grown up, but still enjoy blowing off the big rockets and such on 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love living in Indiana because everything is legal within a week of the 4th of July. Growing up, I spent more and more money on fireworks as the years progressed. My neighbor and I spent a collective $300 on fireworks one year. THAT was fun to clean up on the 5th.

“Don’t try to modify fireworks or make your own.” I disagree with that one,if you know what are you doing diy fireworks can be as safe or safer than commercial ones.

The thing is, some fireworks are simply poorly packed and no matter what your skills are, they’ll still just explode on the ground and you can’t help it. That’s why it’s usually, “Light and RUn away!”

My personal favorite: the sparkler bomb. A good place to start is an already-fired fountain. Shove about 100 sparklers into the center of the fountain, with one sticking up a bit for a fuse. Light it off and stand back a bit.

The fountain I first tried this with wasn’t completely shot off, so we got some extra kick out of it.

What a great website, they banned fireworks in New SOUTH Wales Australia 25 years ago and I so much miss the abilty to muck around with crackers.

So what exactly are the chances of a roman candle exploding in a person’s hand? I lit them on the fourth with my husband, and I just assumed he knew what he was talking about when he said to hold it in my hand until I was telling someone else about it the next day. We didn’t engage in any battle with them, though.
