My parents saved me a crap load of bottle rockets, so i've been blowing stuff up left and right. one of my coolest blowups have been meat balls. Its awesome, they just explode. Sadly i hit a bird, i think it died x.x, sorry mr. bird, it landed on the roof x.x.
i also hit my self in the leg. that was funny.
anyone else share the simple joy of bottle rockets

i remember in primary school we attached bottle rockets to paper planes. we taped it to a really long bit of string (& i mean long - about 10 metres! over a small cliff at the school!), then we tapped the end of the bottle rocket & it flew along the string!
pretty lame now that i think about it...but hey! i was 6 so it was really exciting!!
one more thing - why did your parents give you a lot of bottle rockets!? seems like something most parents would avoid like the plague!???

I was well into making explosives as an adolescent!
Picric acid and aluminium...
Ammonium triiodide...
TNP (luckily that one never worked!)
I hope to be certified by the Institute of Explosives Engineers by the end of next year, which means I get to do it legally.
And I still have all my fingers. Life is good.
There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

Fireworks. The little rockets you put in a bottle, light, then they shoot out screeching and pop at the end.
Let's turn those old bridges we crossed into ashes.
We'll blaze a new trail,
and torch the rough patches.

hmm...okay maybe i wasn't thinking of the same bottle rockets...we called them that - but they're obviously different to the ones you're talking about!!!

I blew the lid off a dog bin on Castle Field at Southsea with a HUGE French banger. Juvenile, illegal and silly, but we had a whole box of them and it was funny
