Man, I love hanging with BC... discovered that the best way to shoot mortar/artillery shells is the WRONG way. Turn them upside down, light and run like #!$^ If you're using a cardboard tube, you can only do this once... if you're using the spiffy carbon-graphite ones like we had 2 of, you can do this over and over... I don't think Deedee liked this very much, but I wouldn't have done it if I thought it was unsafe. Of course, the first time was very unsafe... it was an accident. Someone loaded the mortar shell in my tube upside down... I was standing only about 3 feet away when it went off, and instead of shooting up, I saw the fire come out of the tube... I ran... fast... I remember the brilliant green that lit up the entire driveway and was very glad I moved when I did. After that we took them way out into the street before we lit them. lol.... ask me sometime about the one that Del lit in the middle of the fuse instead of the end... I can't properly relay the story over here, but it's great.

I must also say that if you ever want something for a grand finale to your personal fireworks display, set two of the new 300 count saturn missle boxes next to each other and light them... I bought one and it was worth every penny of the $18 it cost. I think I might go get another if they're on sale tomorrow.

Oh, and for BC ppl who were inquiring as to my DVD list, check here
