We used to just remove them from the plastic stand, wrap them tightly in duct tape (plenty of that handy when your family was in the heating business) and then lay them flat and light them. They’re take off skittering up the street and then explode. We were always afraid they’d blow up under a car and create bigger issues. But then, that was all part of the fun........
I still don't know how we never got the cops called on us. A kid from my school actually did get arrested for a similar thing because he blew something up in a field and burned up a couple acres. What an idiot!
It's almost time this dork gets grabbed by the collar the seat of his pants, shown to the back door and given a boot to his ass to help him exit. Also, I want a video copy of that event. It really needs to be on the nightly news.
Lol. Yep. We put one in an old oven one time. The door opened and closed so fast we weren’t sure it actually happened.
Used to just light them and drop them in the 2 liter bottle after hammering them and wrapping them in duck tape. The things we do as kids
We did that too. But we’d put them in a 2 liter soda bottle. Use a small nail to puncture the lid in order to stick the fuse out of and then used electric tape around the area you twist the lid on. The whole neighborhood would come outside. It was great
Beginners. We used to take a one pound coffee can where our parents used up all the coffee and the lid was removed. We'd buy a nickel's worth of gas stick a CO2 cartridge in the gas and light it and run like hell. I remember setting one off in a neighbor's back yard when I was 10. A true grenade. We also use to by a mole bomb get a glass pint jar drive a nail through the lid a few times, crumble up some of the mole bomb and drop the bulk of the bomb in the glass jar, screw on the lid and place the crumbled up mole bomb on top of the lid. We'd light the mole bomb on top of the lid and run like hell. The crumbled mole bomb on top would start burning and liquefy and drop down in the jar thereby igniting the mole bomb inside the jar and then we'd have a grenade made out of flying shards of glass. When I was 6 my cousin of the same age got a hold of some ammo his father had saved from WWII. He and I would go in grandma's cellar and throw the ammo in her wood furnace a slam the cast iron door shut and wait for the bang. About the same age my cousin taught me how to take the cartridge out of an ink pen and stick some needles through the hole in the bottom which we secured with some scotch tape. We would then play chicken throwing the dangerous darts at each other seeing who would flinch first. But that wasn't the worst. In our grandmother's dirt floor garage we found some old rail road flares (granddad retired from the railroad). We did everything to try and ignite them, we lit them with fire and we hit the crumbling flares with hammers but nothing resulted. A year or two later we learned they were old sticks of dynamite. I'm convinced little boys are monsters from hell. I remember when I was about three I thought I'd give daddy some gas so I picked up a handful or two of dust off the side of the road and put it in the family car's gas filler tube. Dad never did find out who did that. I'll bet he blamed some stranger kids but this little angel got off Scott free.
He didn't mean gasoline. He meant farts. Farts were expensive back then, only wealthy kids like Lanny could afford them. barfo
https://www.yahoo.com/news/hawley-vows-challenge-biden-electors-161801761.html Sen. Josh Hawley on Wednesday pledged to challenge President-elect Joe Biden's victory in Pennsylvania and possibly other states on Jan. 6, when Congress is set to certify the results of the 2020 election. The Missouri Republican's announcement guarantees that both chambers will be forced to debate the results of at least one state and vote on whether to accept Biden's victory, a process that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had urged Republicans to avoid, despite pressure from President Donald Trump, who is urging Republicans to overturn the democratic results. Though Hawley's challenge will have no bearing on the ultimate outcome of the election — numerous GOP senators have accepted Biden as president-elect — it will delay the certification of Biden's victory and force every member of the House and Senate on the record affirming Biden's win. Prior to Hawley's pronouncement, all eyes had been on Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), who had signaled his willingness to support a challenge to Biden's victory. Trump had praised Tuberville and blasted other Republicans as "weak," threatening to end the political career of Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), who told reporters that any challenges were doomed to defeat. The traditional rules of the Jan. 6 session — a joint meeting of the House and Senate — require a single House member and senator to join together to lodge a challenge. If they do, the branches are required to separate and debate the challenge before resuming the joint session. Dozens of House Republicans have already pledged to challenge the results but had yet to secure unequivocal support from a senator. The rules that govern those challenges are due to be adopted on Jan. 3. But at least some Republicans have endorsed a legal effort to scrap the rules altogether and empower Vice President Mike Pence, who will preside over the session, to unilaterally introduce electors backing Trump. House Democrats have challenged the results of the 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections, but only after the 2004 election did a senator — California's Barbara Boxer — join in the challenge. That year, Democrats objected to Ohio's electoral votes, which forced a two-hour debate and was ultimately defeated by a wide margin.
The VP oversees the electoral certification.....Smacks of Collusion. These are lawyers and they don't see that?? We need some Democrat lawyers to shake the room.
The republicans can force a vote, but they don't control the house. Biden will be president. Pence will pull a Gore and tell his party to count the electoral votes as they have been certified. Trump will appear before his supporters in a rally afterwards telling them probably to burn it all down and they will listen.
This is like saying that the presenters as the Oscars get to decide who win the awards because they're the ones reading the vote results. Good luck with that reasoning.
