as those retarted commercials always say "live above the influence"
Haha that made me laugh. Last time I heard that I was with a couple friends hot boxing my car. We couldn't stop laughing when we heard it, it always seems like that stuff plays when my friends and I are doing something illegal like that.

That pic though is still kind of disturbing despite being fake; it doesn't really bother me but my friend saw it and he nearly puked so its got some potential.

I've never had any bad accidents, but when I make them I'm paranoid as hell something will happen. I've been doing it for 2 years and nothing bad, so its about time something bad happens. Still, I light all my sh*t remotely unless its store bought, cause at east that stuff won't take my arm off as easily.

Sorry about your hand though. Hopefully all goes well....

Federal law limits ALL firecrackers sold to unlicensed individuals to 0.05 grams of flash powder. That's actually a lot LESS than a simple "black cat" held in it 30 years ago.

My point? It's all marketing. Big. Small. They all contain the same propellant load (assuming you're purchasing OTC crackers).
