Take one piece of vaccum cleaner pipe and attach a handle. Load bottle rockets from behind like an old bazooka. 

Now the theory was sound all the way up until the time I put the extra bottle rockets in my shirt pocket loaded a lit one into the tube my son was aiming. Needless to say I did not expect him to change his point of aim after the lit bottle rocket was loaded and just a little shift to the right --- and ----you got it  --- the back end of the contraption was perfectly aimed at my pocket as the bottle rocket started to throw sparks everywhere and that hand full of bottle rockets in the shirt pocket got lit. I'm tugging at the shirt as the bottle rockets are going everywhere - EVERYWHERE !!!   as in through the shirt down toward my feet, everywhere.  One nasty burn to the chest and several family members laughing hysterically!!!!

I've done it with roman candles, we were all drunk, that was probably the first indication that things weren't gonna work out too well.

Then there's the "HEY YA"LL WATCH THIS" redneck aspect of it to boot.  Seems anytime I've said that, things generaly went south real fast.

Anyways I wound up buying stock in Aloe vera, shaving my head and what was left of my beard. Gosh it was fun !!!

I've been saving up for this New Years Eve, I think I know what went wrong, well actually I have a theory, I'm not gonna say "HEY WATCH THIS"

Some of the most painful and embarrasing times of my life started with...

"Here, hold my beer!!"

 

 

 

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

It's all relative, and I can relate.

Hey, cyborg, your new avatar is hilarious!  Reminds me of that Chris Farley Chippendales dancer tryout skit from Saturday Night Live.

Good call Ted, I was wondering what that reminded me of. There is no way something like that should be wearing a banana hammock. Wrong, wrong.........wrong!

If you didn’t get someone to hold you beer you can be arrested here in Ga for that. It’s called alcohol abuse.
