Really? Proof reading is sometimes critical.

Possible factor: illiteracy.

I cringe when I read warning labels. Most are targeted for the most intellectually challenged among us. The presumption that they are able to read is not well founded.

What a fool.

Some Mainiac killed himself lighting fireworks off his head:

So, Imp, is that going to be... Cutler's excuse this year?

Down here in Big D, it appears they don't hold trouble in their hands... they smoke or snort it!

Those fireworks stores are mostly off the interstate highways leading to Illinoisy. It’s illegal to possess them here, but you cannot tell they are by how many are being shot off on July 1-6 and Dec 29-Jan 2........

So, dude has lost a finger. Still expects to play. Will certainly get less money.

And Former Bear (and current Buc, thank God) CJ Wilson (no, not the MLB Pitcher and no not the OAK Defensive End) has lost TWO fingers. He’s a cornerback. WAS a cornerback I guess.

Morons.

Back in my firework hustling days, I loved blowing stuff up. At 11-12-13, I kinda knew enough to light stuff and >>NOT<< hold onto it.

These guys, especially Wilson, HAVE ENDED THEIR CAREERS!

M80s and cherry bombs were the fireworks of choice when I was a kid... light ‘em and chuck ‘em and run like hell.

But still, yeah, I knew kids that had fingers and thumbs blown off because they were careless. They were dangerous little “toys”. And when we couldn’t get those, we made our own. But we were boys, and we did boy stuff, and Sh*t happens...More frequently when you do stupid things...

Bottle rockets were fun too... we’d strap a dozen or so together, tie off the fuses and set them in a soda bottle to launch. Never knew where they’d go, so we’d just hit the dirt when they started going off, laughing and ducking. Of course, being that it was in the city, on a rowhome street, the neighbors took a dim view of bottle rockets impacting and exploding on their front porches...

It was fun to be a kid in the late 60s and early 70s.

And then came disco.... Brr...
