I'd have had my butt spanked and been grounded so much, I wouldn't have much time to get in trouble.Quote:

I grew up out in the boonies with 6 brothers and sisters, Dad owned an excavating business and along with all the heavy equipment came the workshop and tools to repair them. Older brother and I would get balloons, fill halfway with acetylene and top it off with oxygen from his cutting torches. Put the balloon in a paper grocery bag, twist the neck of the bag up tight, set fire to it and run like hell. Home-made Daisy Cutter. We would clear out spots to pitch our pup-tent for camping expeditions down by the river. Also used to take M-80s (back when you could buy real M-80s), smear them with contact cement and roll them in BBs. I am still amazed that nobody walked away with a bloody stump.Quote:

Cruelest thing the police ever said/did to me: "I've called your mother. She's on the way down here. She didn't sound happy."Quote:

Pretty impressive explosion and a metric shit ton of smoke. Many a tree were laid waste thanks to the IEDs of my youth.
