Hmmm...JudgeDredd's lack of knowledge on what can be described as 'novelty explosives' have me questioning whether he is, in fact, in personal, physical possession of a vagina.

Another cool thing about Cherry bombs and M-80's is that they are water proof and you could set them off under water for even more fun.

Perhaps responsible for the popularity of grenade fishing.

Ah... the good old days of pointing lit Roman candles at coffee cans full of gasoline...

In my childhood days people had mailbox slots on their doors that lead to their houses. We used to line up about 10 whistlers (bottle rockets that whistled when they flew) and drop them in the slot. I never laughed as hard as when all you could hear is the whistling and people screaming.

I answered C for everything.

BTW,Roman Candles are way cooler than Cherry Bombs.

Lol I can't tell you what we used to call those ground chasers in the south.

Roman Candles were lots of fun too. We used to hold a garbage can lid like a shield and stand out in the street and shoot it out with each other. Fortunately and miraculously no one ever got hurt. My favorite thing to do with cherry bombs was to make a baseball sized mudball, put a cherry bomb inside with the fuse siticking out and poke gravel all over the outside. Made an excellent grenade. Just place it somwhere, light the fuse, and RUN AWAY. Worked with firecrackers too but not with the same effect. Amazing that I survived my childhood but I had two older brothers so I had no choice but to learn quick and think fast.

Yep. Know what you mean Ravenhood. They were called that in Texas too and probably everywhere in the US including the north. I'm sure a few people still call them that. Now the more politically correct name for them I believe is Picalo Pete.

Dont know about cherry bombs, roman candles or ground chasers, but a aerosol can thrown onto a bonfire was a lot of fun!

..straight 'A's..polishes halo..

..except for 6...

..sighhh, just soo much fun, the dogs, the moonlit nights, the pursuits, the vermin screaming as they were ripped apart..

..just finding them grilled on the electric fence wasn't half so exciting, even if it protected my warren better..

..oh, and for 12 i gotta  B, but then i always commended their soul to God, so that's no surprise..

A fun thing my brother and his friends did was to use a pipe smashed down one end of it, drop an M80 down it ,followed by a golf ball. Wow what a weapon! If you need to get a drive on the golf course more than 300 hundred yards, try it.

Another fun thing we used to do was to fill a pan with about an inch or two of water. Then take a tin can, like a Cambell's soup can, with the top lid removed and poke a hole in the bottom just big enough to stick a fire cracker in it. Place the can with the open end down in the water and light the fuse. It would send the can really high into the air. We used to experiment to see how high we could shoot the can. God I was lucky to have such a great time as a kid.[:)]

Bottle Rockets make great semi-guided missles. Take a pair of oven mits, issue one to your friend/enemy. Get the ends of your dads fishing poles, thread the sticks of the rockets through the eyelets and hold the rod end with the oven mitt. Aim..light..FIRE ! I have no idea how I survived without losing an eye or two. Or putting one out for that matter.
 
Those BB gun CO2 bottles, (the little metalic ones) make awesome grenades. Dad was a reloader, so we had loads of gunpowder around to tease fate with. One day we pourded some gunpowder in a spent CO2 bottle, threaded in a firecracker fuse, and stuffed the opening with some paper. Now we though it would be like some cool rocket motor or something. Yeah right ! That thing went off like a bomb ! The neighbor came running out of his house screaming at us. Right next to where I was standing a 1/2" hunk of shrapnel was wedged into the stucco ! That was the only piece we ever found of it.
 
That was before we were 12 !.

I don't take no crap from anybody! ... else but you.
I wear the pants around here!...when I'm finished with your laundry.
'Cause I'm a guy you don't want to fight! ... when I say "jump" you say "yeah, right".
I'm the man of this house! ... until you get home.

What I say goes around here! ... right out the window.
And I don't want to hear a lot of whining! ... so I'll shut up.
The sooner you learn who's boss around here! ... the sooner you can give me my orders, dear.
'Cause I am the head honcho! ... but it's all in my head.

And I can have sex anytime! ... that you want.
'Cause I'm a man who has needs! ... but they're not that important.
And don't expect any flowers from me! ... because if I'm not mistaken you prefer jewelry.
I'm the king of my castle! ... when you're not around.

And I'll drink and watch sports whenever I want! ... to get into trouble.
And I'll come home when I'm good and ready! ... to sleep on the couch.
Because a man's got to do what a man's got to do! ... and I'm going to do what you tell me to.
Because I'm top dog around here! ... but I've been neutered!
