Where's the popcorn?This reminds me of a college student who came to visit my brother, and his reminisces about his childhood.
Hair-raising stories like the time he found his friend Dodie tending a fire and asked what he was doing. Dodie explained that he had taken a used CO2 cartridge and cut off the back of it with a hacksaw and stuffed it with matchheads. The homemade rocket was in the fire, and Dodie was waiting for it to go off. Mac told it that he said, "Aw, that'll never work!" - and sat down right in front of the thing. Mac sat there for a while, then moved - just before the rocket shot through the spot where he'd been sitting!
Mac had a dozen stories like that, all loaded with wierd risks he had taken - and his punch line was, "Dodie was a riot!" Yeah, Mac - Dodie was a riot! . . .
