rajncajn Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I remember when we thought it would be fun to try and race bottle rockets. I almost caught one in the face. Same kid that shot that I stuck a metal tipped dart in his head by accident later in our chilhood... Race them? Hell we used to fire them at each other on purpose. Firecracker wars were an annual ritual for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryTheRock Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) Race them? Hell we used to fire them at each other on purpose. Firecracker wars were an annual ritual for us. we were not racing rockets against each other. I was trying to outrun one with a headstart and it almost nailed me in the face when I looked back at my lead. we did that too. Used a plastic whiffle ball bat and put them in the hole in the end as our "gun." Not very accurate but fun.

rajncajn Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 we did that too. Used a plastic whiffle ball abt and put them in the hole in the end as our "gun." Not very accurate but fun. We'd just light them & throw them. The bottle rockets had to be timed pretty well, but they would right themselves before they launched and if you did it right it was almost like shooting them down from a platform above the other guy. Roman candles worked really well, but they usually resulted in somebody getting pissed because they either got burned or their clothing got burned & they were going to have to explain it to Mom & Dad.

AtomicCEO Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 I've been hit by a bottle rocket and a roman candle. Hopefully, my kids will be smarter than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ill Nuts Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I've been hit by a bottle rocket and a roman candle. I swallowed a lit roman candle once. I now use a combination of sheep bladders and duct tape as my digestive tract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
