fucking SHIT someone just let a whole round of firecrackers go right outside my window. I guess that's what I get for being such a bottle-rocket nut when I was a kid. Wes and Fool and I used to LIVE for fireworks. We'd always stock up around the Fourth of July and New Year's. We were HUGE on bottle rockets and smoke bombs, bottle rockets especially. Wes and I used to go out in the woods behind my Dad's house and have so much fun with fireworks. There was a pond back there that we'd shoot bottle rockets into. They'd shoot into the water and then several seconds later you'd see these smoke bubbles come to the surface and pop. We'd drill into bottle rockets and add extra gunpowder or whatever that stuff is so they would fly further. And we'd light them, get a running start, and throw them like a javelin. Fun stuff. It's a wonder we never got hurt. I remember one time the three of us were shooting each other with them in Dad's front yard, and Fool hit Wes right in the dick with a bottle rocket. But it didn't explode, so it was cool. Now there's a freaking shopping center out in that field. Fargin icehole bastiges.

When I was a teenager, my friends and I use to buy bottle rockets, get in our cars and shoot them at each other on the highway. Hmm, it probably wasn't a good idea. I wonder how many old men in hats and ladies with blue hair had a stroke on I-94 the summer of '89?

Oh, and what where those little white pieces of paper filled with a gunpowder-like substance called? Snap Pops? You threw them on the ground really hard and they'd *pop*. Anyway, I LOVED those when I was wee. My asshole brothers, Mo and Ron, would throw them at my feet. It looked like I was doing a Mexican hat dance on crank. No wonder why I whine like Lucille Ball at my current haggard (Merle?) age.

YES! I loved those things too! I haven't seen or even thought about them in YEARS. I wonder if you can still get them, or if they've been confiscated by the fun police.
