Lord my drunk brother brought $100 worth of fireworks lastnight *gulp* and he didn't bring the baby stuff- he brought Disney World.

One of the biggies was one (well 2 of em with 12 shots each) of those mortars that shots hundreds of feet into the air.

The 6th one shot into the air, hit a tree branch and bounced back at us exploding about 10 feet above us! It was funny- everyone was running and screaming but at the same time it wasn't funny. I asked for it to end, but did it... NO!

He didn't quit until another mortar and 2 rockets were accidently launched into someones back yard!

were your neighbors mad?

Don't know, but I got worried they would or the police would be called. We had New Year's lunch today at my mother's- we were all there laughing it up.


But NO fireworks next year!

We bought some of the expensive fireworks one year, and had no idea what to do with them. They were these red balls with a wick, and they came with a cardboard tube. I thought the cardboard tube was a separate firework, so we just put the red balls on the ground and lit them. That crap blew up right at us, LOL. Noone got seriously hurt but I had little burn marks in my shorts where some of it hit me.

When I was younger, my friends hillbilly dad used to think it was funny to light bottle rockets and fling them at us.

when I was around 12 we were playing with sparklers and my friends brother tossed his and we couldn't find it til my hair burst into flames

burning hair smells BAD

That's exactly what we had! Our balls were blue and the size of pool balls.

Oh shit! Burning hair is a nasty smell especially when it's YOURS!

My uncle lost his other eye with these things once, so each time I meet him I cannot help but think "yeah, stay away from fireworks or you'll end up looking like a pirate".

His other eye!?

I got hit with a bottle rocket from about 30 ft away...

It was set in the ground instead of a bottle and when they lit it, they
moved it so that it was now pointing right at me. This thing came
at me so fast...the next thing I felt was a THUD...right between the
eyes! I fell to the ground and felt the blood gushing out. I cleaned
up and continued with the party.

Did anyone ever try to do that thing they did on jackass. Where ya tie a string to a bottle rocket and the one guy puts the bottle rocket in his ass, and it's tied to the other guys dick?

That was pretty funny.

Oh - mines probbaly not what you had in mind but it WAS a horror story.

Went on a hot date with a girl I had fancied for years to our county firework display. We werent alone because her friends came which was cool with me...and something I would later be glad of.

Going to an all boys school rumours flew around about all sorts of people and I was one of the unlucky few who was labelled (incorrectly) "gay" within the first few weeks and this of course was a license for people to give you a good kicking whenever they felt like it

When the local Rugby team decided to set upon me at the firework display I thought I was in for a real good beating.....

I had not counted on my new girlfriends friends attacking the team with the cake and biscuit tins fully or snacks that they had brought along for later.

Im not sure if I was more gald to hear the clanking of cake tins on rugby player heads or if I wished i had taken a beating and been spared teh embarassment of having to thank the tin weilding girls!!!

I didnt get away that lightly though as somebody reported my attackers to the police..which of course made matters worse and few weeks later they struck again when I was without my confectionary weilding bodyguards
