Authorities are attempting to determine if consumption of alcohol contributed to this accident.

We used to toss cans of WD-40 into the campfire. They make a nice mushroom cloud fireball when they go off.

cans of OFF work better. nice little explosion AND it gets rid of nearby bugs.

Texans have a safety rule for such actions that radically lowers the danger of carnage. Immediately proceeding any idiotic act, a Texan will always exclaim, "Hey, Y'all watch this!"

This is a signal for everyone within 100 feet to dive for cover. Yankees would do well to use this warning before any such future endeavors.

I wonder why the tap didn't blow first and release the pressure?

I wondered that too. The warning on the top of a keg I have says it will rupture above 60 psi. Maybe the temperature rise and pressure increased too fast and the thing just failed.

Not any more, they took the propane out and started using
CO2 for propellant. Too many folks were using WD40 for spudguns.

"So this couldn't happen in a "red" state? That's not very good logic, son."

I wasn't attempting logic. I was being sarcastic.

We used to do this with empty hairspray cans with a volume of 16 oz. I can only imagine what an 11 gallon container would do, but it would be nasty.

*******

One of my wife's asthma inhalers once inadvertently wound up in the fireplace. It took off like a mortar. I thank God no one was in front of the fireplace when it punched a hole through the screen and smacked the opposite wall.

Are you guys familiar with those small CO2 ampules used in pellet rifles? On a camping trip back in the Spring of 1984, we'd built a huge bonfire. It must've been ten feet in diameter, with flames five or six feet high.

My cousin noticed the "DO NOT INCINERATE" warning on the box, and I took the dare. I tossed one of those into the heart of that fire and we both dove for cover behind nearby trees. About five seconds after landing in the embers, the ampule ruptured with a deafening report.

All that carbon dioxide also snuffed the fire out in an instant, like flicking a switch. All that remained was a fountain of ash and glowing embers, which rained back down on us, starting little fires which we spent fifteen minutes extinguishing. We also laughed ourselves weak.

We'd been drinking beer, too - but we were still smart enough to pull that stunt only when we were the only people around, AND could find sufficient cover.

No kiddin.

I must have lost my sense of humor over time, there is a dead person and a whole bunch of injured people because one person was careless or stupid. What a hoot. < /sarcasm>
