Who played with fire, as a kid.

When I was 13,my friend moved out next door.He left the kitchen window open so we could sneak in and drink beer.We was rummaging around the kitchen when I opened the utensil drawer.Inside was several boxes of 22 cal bullets.We proceeded to go outside and someone came up with the crazy idea of setting them off...I grabbed a box of Zip BBQ starter cubes from my garage. We would put a bullet on a cube and light it...A minute or so later......We did this again and again as it sounded like the loudest cherry bomb ever ignited...Just then a neighbour came out and cursed at us for setting off firecrackers next to his house!..."If I hear one more bang....."

He didn't notice the already lit cube 6 feet from where he was standing.."uh oh"



Outta the bunch of us there,I was of course the one chased and caught.Had to explain to my dad and then the police what I was doing with a box of ammunition.

Without a barrel, I imagine the slug does not go far.  But I would think it could still be lethal.

Speaking of eyebrows.  Had an associate in the USAF that had one of those eyebrows that joined straight across his forehead.

At his seperation party, he got wasted and passed out.  We shaved half of the brow off.  He had to do all of his out processing with only the left half of his brow left.

I knew a kid that used to shave the unibrow to make two normal brows.  He'd do it in the summertime and leave a nice white bar where the hair used to be.  His tan face and the white "ghost-brow" earned him lots of ridicule :)

I remember being about 4 years old and a 5 year old neighbor kid taught me about this magical thing called matches. We would strike the side of the box and create fire! WoooHoo! We would drop the lit matches into the kitchen garbage as we kept striking new matches for that magical 'creating fire' effect. Was fun until the darn kitchen garbage can (plastic) caught on fire. Smoke was pouring out of our apartment (had the door open all this time). Some bigger kids came running over and started whacking away at the fire with our broom until the flames went out. Imagine this gooey soot all over the place as well as the smoke. We lived in this large apartment complex on the Navy base in Yokusuka, Japan. Must of housed about 60 or so units. My parents were really upset at the adult that was supposed to be watching me and my little sister. He stayed in his apartment and left us alone. I did the honorable thing that only a frightened 4 year old would do.....blamed my 2 year old little sister. Dern, my parents didn't buy it. One of the few times we weren't punished. I guess they were just grateful that the complex wasn't burned down and that we were okay.

Thrawn! That was FUNNY as hell!

Ok so we are all like 16 and 17 and decide to head out to half moon bay for a little bon fire on the beach.

We take my old cast iron hibachi, and toss it from the top of the cliff down to the beach, and it survives fine.

So we BBQ burgers and relax, and decide now is the time. We tike the hibachi and carry it towards the water, then take a can of WD40, and set it on the grill and run.

About a minute later it goes off with a boom. (nothing spectacular cause it is still daytime). We go over and look at the BBQ and it is trashed, it blew off the cast iron grill holders.

SO later that night we have a big bonfire going with pallets and decide try it again, so we take the can, a 30% more can and toss it in and run. This time it goes off much faster! BOOOOOOOOM.... and a huge mushroom cloud goes about 100 feet into the air and it shot coals from the fire well over 30 yards! Almost to wear we where standing!  AWESOME!!! we did it 2 or three more times, over the next year.... lol then they changed the can design.

Speaking of .22 bullets, did you know that if you suck one up in a vacuum cleaner, it might go off?

My brother and I had been target shooting and we had a few bullets left in our pockets. Apparently one fell out when we were sitting on the couch. Later Mom was vacuuming between the couch cushions, and … CRACK!

Fortunately nobody got hurt. Until Dad got home that is.

Saw the movie Midway. Put together plastic aircraft carrier model, put M80's in the hull, put remainder of glue on the deck, put in the water and lit on fire. 2 of 4 m80's actually went off, 1st one blew the model to hell, the other went off under the water.

Oh yea! The aerosol can in the fire thing... thanks for reminding me.


I was a Boy scout and nothing created a bigger panic at campouts than the words "OFF CAN!!!!".

A can of "OFF" (thats bug repelent for the chronologically or geologically challenged) made short work of a campfire and caused quite the mess.

ahhhh youth.

Mom always wondered where all the coolers got off to. What she didn't know was styrofoam and gasoline made one heckuva mixture of napalm. Just the right gooiness Never will forgot the time I slung some burning napalm on my brother. That boy sure could dance.

And we're not even going to talk about the accetylene bombs. How I didn't get maimed is a wonder.

OH, Did I EVER play with fire.  Gasoline was my poison.

My parents have an extra wooded lot next to their house (about 3/4 acre).  So, one dry summer day, I got the brilliant idea to carry some gas out into the woods and set fire to it.  I figged and nice sandy spot would work nicely.

So, I proceeded to dump said gasoline into the sand, (watching in amazment how quickly it soaked up and spread).  I then stuck the match, failing to realize I was now standing on gas soaked sand.

WHOOOF!!!!!!!

I looked down and my shoes were on fire, so, what did I do?  RAN out of the woods to the back yard, dropping burning pieces all over the groud (which was covered in dry leaves).

My dad actually saw the flash from the living room window.  He saw me go into the woods carrying the coffee can and was wonder what I was up to.  Dad managed to put me out and the woods before the whole works went up.  

He was not pleased :D

Course, you'd think old age would make you smart.  NOT.  So when I was 24 or so, my buddy and I decided to fill a garbage bag full of Acetylene gas from his Dad's torch, which was in his 40x80 enclosed shed.  It looked pretty good actually, holding on to 10 gallon bag full of acetylene.  We twist tied it shut, intending to shoot a bottle rocket into it once we got outside.  We never got the chance.

Anyone ever hear of static electricity???

WHOMP!!!

My buddy had just put it down next to the tractor where is apparently grounded out and blew up.  We blew out every window in the shed  along with 2 window in the car that was parked in the shed.  

His dad was not pleased :D  My ears rang for about a week....

With all the crap I did, its amazing I survived this long.... :D :D :D

 ADDED THIS DISCLAMER...

For all you kiddies out there who might be reading theses posts, DO NOT TRY THESE AT HOME!!!

Thraw that was quality
Eskimo you get my vote!

Heres my story
At the age or 11/12 years old tmy self and the neiborhood kids all gathered at "the least supervised kids house" (he lived with mom and she was divorced)! It was a hot summer night and we all in the mood for sum excitement!
  After blowing off the last of any fireworks we could muster we noticed there was a big lawn roller by the side of the house with a huge dent in the rolling surface, upon futher inspection we noticed there was a hole in this dent  about 2/3 inches around.
  Boom light bulb goes off over Said Kids house's head and he decides "hey lets pour gas in there then light it and see what happens" so after pouring about 1/2 gallon in to the hole in the roller its time to light the thing.  
   There i was with lighter in hand "Flick  flick flick" nothing. So said kid think looking in the hole while i try lighting this he might be able to figure out whats wrong!  So i say ok! sqwat down and turn my head away cause i have a feeling somethings gonna happen!

Flick



FLCIKBOOM ROOOOOOOAAAARRRRRR

(next sequence all in SLOW MO)
flames go shooting 6/8  feet high  then i notice "sadi Kids" head directly over the hole still looking in ..............flames were shooting around his head! He slowly raises up from the still firey blash eminating from the roller  eyebrows nothing but little black burned up nubs  (this guy has blond hair and a mullet at the time)
hair is plaster back like a DON KING do (back instead of up) and on the ends of his blond haor are little burnt up black balls still smoking...................... ..as we all watch him in awe with a blank stare on his face.........well all started to laugh

then the chase beguins hes running after me for lighting the thing telling me hes gonna kill me the whole time theres a smoke trail billowing behind him after a shrt chase he relizes its pointless and gives up chase and turns his anger on the crowd thats laughing at him.

To this day that was the funniest thing i have ever witness in person!

Speaking of lighting farts-

During college dorm days (not all that long ago):

One night we were lighting our farts, and one of the guys decides he might get a bigger fireball by going bareass.  We warned him not to do it, it seemed like we'd heard stories of people exploding and such.  He blows us off, and proceeds to hold a lighter to his bare bellybutton pointing up in the air.

About a half second after he lets it go, he jumps up and starts running around screaming.  We notice the strong odor of burnt hair.  He's yelling something like "It's in me!  It's in me!  AAAUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!"

A minute or so later, after he hasn't blown up, he's in the bathroom putting water on his butthole which is blistered.  All his hair is singed, and he's swearing every so often.  The rest of us can't stop laughing for about a week.  He was sore for many days.
