[July 4th]

Some mild explosives "play." No nukes, though.

In middle school, one of our projects was building and launching model rockets. Naturally, my friends and I started building them outside of school with a few extras. Like warheads make out of low-level explosives. Man, those things were better than fireworks.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Toward the end of middle school, i had a motorcycle & mowed lawns (so i always had an excuse to have about 20 gallons of gas on hand), and was heavily into model rockets, but no longer had a desire for my extensive fleet of tonka trucks, so naturally, what occurred was:

Flaming Tonka's

The d-sized rocket engines epoxied to a tonka nicely propelled a tonka truck laden with gasoline down the street until they inevitably went off course on someone's lawn or against a telephone pole with the rocket engine spewing enough fire to create one heck of a hot spot.
