What crazy things have you done with fire and pyrotechnics?

Senior year of high school and it is my 2nd to last day. I went to a private cathloic school where i hade to wear a uniform and it did suck. I decided that i would take my shirt off in front of the school and burn it. I got busted by the security guard and was taken into the office where the principle called me an idiot numerous times. What ended up happening was i got suspended for my last of school on my senior year and they called it punishment. I am the only one in the 50+ years of this school to do either.

Re: What crazy things have you done with fire and pyrotechnics?

Too many to list.

I set my bike on fire, my sisters barbies, the neighbors cat, the garage, the pool(yes), the yard, my buddies car, etc.

I used to go to my buddies house and dig a hole, then fill it with gasoline and light it with a regular cigarette lighter. It's surprising that I can still grow hair on my arms.

As a fellow animal lover, I find that practice of hurting animals for ones enjoyment the lowest of the low. Speaking of low, must you use that low brightness of a pink color. Its quite annoying. If that is your agenda, to annoy us using it, you have accomplished your mission. So from now one, please stop using it.

they set off apparently 16000 firecrackers. It was kinda cool...

as for me, nothing out of the ordinary i guess. toys, fruit, frogs, pretty much anything small i can blow up or try and make fly.

My reason for using pink, or magenta, is a personal one.

I'm an animal lover, and person lover. I don't appreciate people trespassing on my property and tearing my stuff up, animals either. My family lost 3 leather motorcycle seats to that cat, each being worth $300+. The cat didn't die, just got a singed tail, but we didn't have to worry about our seats anymore.

I hunt deer, too.

Re: What crazy things have you done with fire and pyrotechnics?

Thats an oxymoron, being an animal lover and hurting it are not the same. Killing it by shooting at it is one thing, its fast and i would think painless, but setting the cats tail on fire using firecrackers is mean and low. If you managed to catch the animal to place the fireworks on its tail you could have very well taken it to a shelter or further out in the woods.

As for the pink, magenta, fuscia text color, There is no personal reason suitable unless you are colorblind or if a lost relative expressed you to do so.

Regardless, it was not a suggestion. I am telling you stop using the color.
last Warning.

Carry on.

Is orange okay?

I didn't place firecrackers on the cats tail, I waved my lighter at it. Damn thing shoulda stayed out of my garage, especially while I'm experimenting with fuel mixtures for my racing go-karts.

Re: What crazy things have you done with fire and pyrotechnics?

NOt to change the subject, but we can't even choose color font anymore? That's why it's an option. Don't read his post...highlight it.

Now back on topic. Yeah, harsh and cruel by youngsters will be youngsters and I hate cats. Heck, i didn't wanna disect a frog, but ti didn't stop me from putting firecrackers in them. It's not an oxymoron...that would be like military intelligence (har har). I love animals, but do I shoot at blackbirds/ravens/whatever the heck they are with my BB gun. Darn skippy!

EDIT: Not to tango with a mod or anything, but still, you can't wield power just because. Next, we can only put one smilie in our post, despite whether more are relevent. Sorry though, after quitting Home depot ive been yelling at old bosses how much they suck and how messy it is and what not so im feelin a little free.

carry on

and yes, i might, a small possibility that i love you too jet-lee. so jimster got to you too eh? crap

Okay granted I did not specifiy a color. Use what everyone else is using. Black.

Its fine when highlighting something like a word, to make it different from the rest of the text, but to do the whole message is plainly just to be an annoyance. He was told to stop, but comes back with a smart alex remark of "Is Orange okay". Clearly a worse color to read and Clearly trying to test me. Don't test me Jet, cause you won't win.
Also don't tell me what I have to do Damien, a few members have complained about the font color, I myself find it annoying, so as Administator it is my obligation to make sure a member is not an annoyance to others (in his case the color of the text he is using), I am kindly asking for it to be replaced with what others are using, black, if it is not complied with, he will be removed from the premises. Simple as that.

Re: What crazy things have you done with fire and pyrotechnics?

I didn't know what orange would look like. It appears easier to read to my eyes.

Damien, you used two smilies.

Nice to see that our formatting is dictated, even though choices are given in the text box. What options up there can we use?

EDIT-I have just reviewed the guidelines and find no mention what so ever about usage of colored text.

EDIT-I find black text annoying.

Re: What crazy things have you done with fire and pyrotechnics?

By me and the rest of The fluffs;

Hydrogen bombs.
Random gunpowders mixed in big boxes.
Tossing liquified petroleum tanks gas on fire.
Blew up one big ass tube of some gas i dont remember.
Afew molotovs.
Filled a cable drum with explosives, lit it, rolled it down the road.
Axe and a lighter gan be used for much fun btw..
Small things like boxes of matches, lighters and such.. in very inappropriate(sp?) places.

In our lockers at school we have things like hydrochloric acid, petrolium gas, ammonium carbonite (think the english term is like that), and other devilish stuff.

Re: What crazy things have you done with fire and pyrotechnics?

all the basics
roman candle/ bottle rocket fight
gas with various things
30ft tall pallet fire

and the king

800 lbs tire. over 6 ft standing up. used 2 vehicles one pulling one pushing to get it down the dirt road. and 6 of us to lift it on it's side so we could roll it down into the pit.

we sat about 50-75 ft away and were still hot from it. if you got within 5 ft you lost the hair on your arm.
