In my youth, I was highly intoxicated around bottle rockets and other fireworks. Thankfully, I never got the bright idea to put any in my rectum, although we used to shoot them directly at each other.

Every 4th of July we'd have massive neighborhood-wide "bottle rocket wars" at a nearby park, completely sober.

The trick is to wear a set of goggles, and a thick coat, GI issue works well. Then, you light the bottle rocket, and wait until just before it ignites the rocket, and throw it at your target. In mid flight, the rocket ignites, and shoots off in the direction it was already going. The impact on your buddy's chest is spectacular!

Caught one one time in my pocket, where the fire crackers were. It was quick and painful!
