share your stories about fireworks....
I had a package of jumping jacks go off in my hand courtesy of a fast fuse back in 1983...that was the worst.
Last year I almost died...almost...when a dixie cannon fell over and shot a mortar shell at me. |

I had one of those little rockets hit me in the head. Hurt like hell.

Was 8 or 9 and family was all sitting infront of the garage watching me light stuff. Lit one of those lil saturn rockets. Started up straight, made a sharp right hand turn , headed right at the garage. My 83 y/o grandma sees it coming and flips her chair over backwards while trying to duck it.
Classic. Oh and used to blow up toads with blackcats.

Blow up meaning gently lifting them in the air and lightly back to the ground...

I mowed yards for a summer job one year and took some of my earnings and bought a wide assortment of fireworks. Come July 3rd or 4th, I don't really remember, I started shooting off the fireworks, but I was way to close to the container that I had the fireworks in and part of a punk or fuse fell off into the box of fireworks. The majority of the fireworks ended being shot off in a very short period of time. I dove to the ground for cover and crawled away very quickly.
I was probably 10 - 11 years old when this happened. To this day 30+ years after the fact, my parents and siblings still bring it up around the 4th. It is comical to look back and remember, but at the time it happened, it was quite sad.

Only thing remotely funny that happened was when I was at my buddys house, and we were lighting black cats. Well they light one on my back which did nothing (I thought), and my back started to burn a little because it had lit my shirt on fire.
Then I took refuge in his house when one of his "friends" decided to bring a crap load of PBR, and give it to everyone doing the fireworks and after I got hit with a little rocket I went inside and left. I don't drink, I don't make a big deal about it, but when someone is mixing that with the big fireworks we had in store for that night, I will pass on being around that.

Is there a way to shoot fireworks off without drinking? How do you start to think shooting roman candles & bottle rockets at people is a good idea? |

Yes. I don't understand what your asking, they started to shoot bottle rockets off at people, and that's when I left.

We used to have "Bomb Bag" parties. We'd all pool together a bunch of fireworks and put them in a brown paper bag. Douse the bag with lighter fluid and light it and watch the mayhem insue! I got nailed in the gut one year with a parachute that was in the bag. Burned a hole in my shirt. Fun times back then. We've all grown up and out of that phase.

When I was in the 7th grade, my best friend and I de-sticked a gross of bottle rockets, arranged them in a circle, fuses in, then lit it up and ran. It was like a battleground or something. Not too smart, but lots of fun.

Your mom is like one of those re-loadable mortar tubes - 12 balls and she's done.
