Here's my story...
Fireworks are pretty cool. I enjoy watching them. I wish people didn't shoot them off all hours of the night for about a week straight around 4th of July though. |

I watched a video the other day of fireworks vs mannequins. It was funny. Maybe I was imagining someone being blown up.

Dad would take a 4" pipe 6' long, put 1 end in the dirt ( 12 - 18 " ) with the other end pointing towards the sky. He would take a baseball, light an M-80 's, drop it in the pipe with the ball on top of it! Boom, No we have a baseball that has a hot ass screaming into the sky with a bunch of 8 - 12 year old kids a half block away taking turns catching it. It was a game to play for points, kind of like how we played a game of 500 as kids on the ball field!

OMG least I smiled but my cousin when fireworks outlawed here. He went to light them and well lit all of them somehow. They turned back and well all went off. That tough guy was like help me. All of the family still reminds him.

Catch sparrows and put a firecracker in their ass, light it then let them fly away. We’d pretend they were Japanese Kamikaze planes and act like shooting them out of the sky.
I quit doing stupid and cruel things like that several decades ago. |

Back in the day when I just started my land surveying career the engineering firm I worked for had contracts with rock mining companies. We did rock face quantity surveys for La Farge Cosgrove Ash Grove and Tobin Mines. Tobin had a mine behind Indian Springs Mall in KCK. Every July fourth they shut down the mining and blasting for 24 hours. The company would ask for volunteers to work the fourth time and a half and after 8 hours double time. I never passed that up.
We would go in at midnight on the 4th and have the mine to ourselves. It would take about 18 straight hours to locate the new mined face. When we came out for breakfast we would eat and go to a Fireworks tent set up by the mall. We would get an assortment of bottle rockets Roman candles fountains and black cats. A war would commence in total darkness. Quarry mines have no lighting other than the trucks and miner's lights. You can't see your hand in front of your face it is somewhat scary. You lose sense of direction and cant easily walk right into a stone support column or trip on large rocks. That didn't stop us as the glow of the punk gave your position away. After we were done we would put the light on the truck and our spotlight and the mine would be full or smoke. If the mine foreman had ever checked on us we would have been fired on the spot. Fun times! |

I watched the smartest man I ever knew blow the skin of his thumb in half with either a bottle rocket or a roman candle, can't remember which one it was.
