In lieu of my last, I was gonna type "Wait till Otis sees us! He loves us!"
I screwed up in a trivia game a while back attributing a song to "Otis Day & The Knights", and got credit from my fellow players because everyone agreed that's who did it, even though the card had the "wrong" name.
Hey, I like MGD!

When I was younger and pop still came in 500 ml bottles with metal caps, I once put one, mostly filled with water and capped tightly, into a fire. Took a while for the water to get to boiling, but eventually it blew, quite spectacularly. Burning embers could be seen 100 yards up and down the beach in either direction. I was actually standing over the fire poking the bottle with a stick when it blew. I don't know how neither my friend or I ended up with a shard of glass in an eye. Actually, I never could find even the tiniest trace of the bottle afterwards.

I have an uncle who, he swears he was sober, tossed a #10 can of some food product into his burning barrel along with a bunch of other stuff from the cellar he had cleaned out and went back inside.
Upon hearing the explosion he went outside and began gathering up what was left of his old rusty burning barrel.

On a camping trip, some idiot threw .22 caliber shells into the campfire; thank God no one was hit, but it was scary.
Cheers!
I lost rear window in car to one of these rockets. I found can 50 yards down the parking lot. I thank G-d no one was around when can went airborne. BTW it was middle summer , car was sitting in sun. Last time left anything pressurized in car.
All the rest are lousy draft dodgers.
