It burned a hole through my shirt and charred my shorts and my leg didn't feel too good either. I've got a bunch of idiots in my neighborhood who shoot them off right next to the houses. @ Joe

I actually had one of those things that comes out of a Roman candle land on my lap and I was a good distance away from it and there was no wind. It burned a hole through my shirt and charred my shorts and my leg didn’t feel too good either.

I’ve got a bunch of idiots in my neighborhood who shoot them off right next to the houses.

I will never concede them... Nothing settles settles neighborly skirmishes over unshoveled sidewalks like a few well timed (around 4 am) bottle rockets against the broad side of some jerk's house. Not that my roommates and I have ever done that. Obviously. Obey the law, kids. No, the bottle rockets must be in. I will never concede them…

I liked dropping cherry bombs in the corner sewer opening and seeing the water shoot out across the street.

What I have a problem with is shooting them off in the middle of a dense neighborhood (we'll use Federal Hill as an example) about 6 feet from a house. Federal Hill sounds like downtown Baghdad during the 4th of July. Can't people get together in a big open space and shoot them off together? Does everyone really need to shoot their own?
