Default What is the best thing about fireworks?

For me, because of where I'm located, close to the mountains, its that I see them once and hear them twice. I especially like the mortars with the big BOOM!

I live in the unincorporated part of Jefferson County, CO and now we have the bottle rockets and M80s of my youth exploding. Memories.

...watching your neighbour catch a tree on fire (for 3 min)

...waiting til it's really dark, then bustin' out the black powder .44 Confederate Colt-Navy and shootin' it as fast as you can.

The best thing about fireworks is when some lefty do-gooder decides to ban the sale of the really cool ones (6" morter) because some idiot headmaster at a school display get's his heasd blown off in a one-time freak accident because he loaded the charge incorrectly, then looked down the tube to see why it hadn't gone off.





Honestly I think the UK needs to trust it's populace with fireworks, despite the above accident and the actions in antiquity of a certain guido fawkes. :hmm:
