who made the trip over the border and bought some real fireworks this year??

And how bad was the damage to the pocketbook??

I managed to only spend $40 at fireworks city this year

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

I'm not a big fan of fireworks. $0 spent on them for me =)

I'll go watch some stuff blow up tonight though, that's always fun.

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

I was able to watch a good fireworks show right from my bedroom. It was great!!

Happy 4th everyone! (belated)

Yeah I saw some good fireworks driving into work last night. There was actually about five places that were having a huge display at the same time, so it was alright. All was good except for the damn mayfly hatch that they had down here. Fucking things are all stuck to the front of my car and windshield. God I hate them things. They actually made the road slippery for about five miles, the cops had people slowing way down so they didn't crash because of them.

Austin, traffic wasn't that bad. We only waited on that off ramp for about 30 minutes!

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

i made some sparkler bombs and watched cher get WASTED. note to all of you: sparkler bombs make M80s look like pop rocks

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

me and a buddy found out that bottle rockets work under water, coolest thing ive seen yet, we'd throw the damn thing in the lake after it was lit. You could see brightness move, it was sweet, and the sound was all gargly, sounded really funny.

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

T'was quite interesting of a night. Haven't had that much fun since Duh luth days back in the day...Great kids to get wasted around. I thought I should've drank more though.

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

I like throwing Jumping-Jacks into the water. They do the same thing, but bubble up and gargle, then leave huge white bubbles..haha. Fireworks under water is always cool to watch. Too bad I didnt buy any this year, I didnt have the money this time...so I missed out one tons of fun. My friend got his taken away about 30 mins after he just bought it...haha.

Do tell
:)

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

haha I was waiting to see if someone would post up something like that. I first found out about them 2-3 years ago. He is 100% correct when compareing sparkler bombs to M80's. Lets put it this way, You will never believe it until you see it for yourself. http://www.big-boys.com/articles/sparklers.html


EDIT: BTW The video doesn't do it justice. It is insanely louder in person. :D

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

nice! so how about a vfaq??!!

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

Oh yea I want to know how to make those!!

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

Its pretty east, Take like 5-10 sparklers clip off the handle part so its just the sparkler itself put them all together have one raised (prefer in the middle) about an inch to inch 1/2 take electrical tape and start wrapping it around. Make sure it is as tight as you can make it and more is really better. Once you got it air tight and looking like something out of the ghetto you are done. Then all you do is light the one sticking out and I'd say get the hell back. first you start out with a little show only a 4 yr old can enjoy.. then.. BOOM!


One thing is, Not every kind of sparkler works. If you get the wrong one it turns into a mega blow torch. So I'd say buy two or three of one brand and try it. The ones with the metal handle things are the only ones that work. The wooden handled one dont work.

Have fun! But be safe with them give the fuse sparkler plenty of time so you can get back. If one of these blew in your hand lets just say you would have much of a hand left.


(hope I don't get banned for telling people this..it is a fun to make:rolleyes: )

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

I need to try this!

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

Holy jeezus! I was amazed when I saw that video! I think I need to go shopping! And they are legal to buy in MN, too crazy!

Re: because no one has started a thread about this i thought i would...
 

Lets put it this way, My 4th of july's havent been the same since. Last year between me and 2 of my other buddy's we spent close to 150 bucks in sparklers, and electrical tape.


One fun thing to do is go to the beach or a park. dig a small hole in the sand then cover it so just the fuse is sticking out and light that bitch and get back. Blows a nice crater in the ground.. hehe.. lets just put it this way.. it induces childish behavior. But my god is it fun, I remember my first time like it was yesterday. Walked to a near by park, (no kids present of course) The whole time walking over there I'm like " no way " " this isnt going to do shit " .. a minute later BOOOOM! followed by running back to the house laughing so hard I was stumbleing and almost fell over. Got in the house and I was in tears I was laughing so hard. Its funny, It makes this sizzleing sound just before and I dont know its hard to explain.. Good stuff fella's! If you do it one year you will do it every year after for sure!
