Firecrackers, etc, what did YOU do with em as a kid???

I couldn’t even begin to tell how many plastic army men and HotWheels i destroyed with firecrackers, M-80s , ect….

Another one was the strike anywhere match heads…we used to break off just the white part of 20 or so, we had a big nut and two bolts we would put together with those match heads in between, slam in to the concrete- run like hell !! It was a kamikaze move , lol.

Then there was the toilet paper roll, duct tape, black powder and cannon fuse - all stolen from my pops. 10 yrs old…Got in serious crap for that one ! :cool-new:

Barn cats and bottle rockets...
 
Roman candle wars, take the old silver torpedoes (like a cherry bomb, but no fuse, explode on impact) and shoot them with a slingshot like a mortar round.
Mom used to drive a bunch of us over to South Carolina, we’d buy Cherry Bombs and TNTs in the gross sized boxes.
Someone always had blood blisters on fingers from a quick fuse Black Cat.
Also remember the fun of lighting off a “person of color” chaser in a crowd.
 
Mailboxes sho did flatten out back then, now they are breakapart and put back, someone, prolly a Karma ghost put a Black Powder device in my plastic mailbox and although parts were scattered 50 yrds, it snapped back together, Forsyth County scrapped residue off the plastic but I assured the young inexperienced Deputy, it was Black Powder.

Back in the 60s in high school we had a math teacher that went to the bathroom at the same time every time and he would use the Corner stall well we would come in there and take a cherry bomb wait until he got good started and then roll at Cherry bomb under a stall he had no problems pooping.
