when they say to not hold fireworks in your hand...

[anthonybeard]

probably a good idea to not hold it in your hand. I just had a roman candle blow my hand open... lol

no real harm done though, it just forced my hand open and left a considerable amount of carbon.

lesson... kinda learned... *lights another*

ah the good ole days of playing war with roman candles.

you know what else is fun... take those artillery shells, you know the ones: where you put them in a tube and they go up in the air and make a big boom with lots of colors...

I like to put those in a toilet paper tube and seal both ends so it blows up on the ground...

try it and youll never blow them up in the air again, i promise.

You know you're a redneck if you or any member of your family has even been injured after uttering, "Y'all hold my beer and watch this..."

I readily acknowledge growing up in Alabama and having been injured in said manner.
