A good time to lob a one hundred report pack of firecrackers out of the door.

We've done that here before except we used the M80s for awhile. Have other methods too which is advantage of living in the country.

Hmmmmm - I remember back in the day the guys would put M80s under the bleachers at ball games to scare the crap out of us!!!!!

We're down in a holler so when we set anything off it tends to echo. My dad and one brother set one off one day behind the house. We weren't expecting it so scared the crap out of us and made the house jump.

I'll tell you what made the house jump..............this was many years ago......kids were getting ready for school. I was still in the house (it was about 7), and the SU decided he was going to burn trash before it got windy. He had tried to burn some bag plastic the last time he had burned and had dumped some GAS in it. Well, I think he kinda forgot about it..............he lit all the crap that was on the pile and started walking away from it; he got probably 100 feet or so away and all of a sudden............."KA-BOOM"..............holy crap, it shook the house and that was probably 500-600 feet away. Blew burning feed sacks up in the air..............

Please, no chastising remarks about it, ok................

Chastising, heck NO, that was cool daddyo, cool.

Well, ya, it was, actually................

No one was killed. That's the "cool" part.

I agree with Ken -- I'm just glad you're here to tell the story, Anna!

Once the shock would have worn off I would have found it cool and funny also.

I guess it was quite a fireball.

Hallelujah!

Anna I'm happy y'll lived to tell about it!

Ummm............Jean, I was in the HOUSE, not even close to it. It was the SU that was ambling away from it.

Always keep those men well insured..it makes the loss more bearable...
