Lighting 200 Sparklers at Once

yeah those weren't sparklers. I remember sparklers, you could write your damn name in the darkness with them for a long ass time!

That said, I given up a lot on fireworks I see something like what he did and just think that was what $50- $100 gone in a matter of seconds? Bang for buck analogy fits well here.
 
Who cares about what's legal? That's never stopped anyone on 4th of July.
 
being 31 years old -- i remember back in the days before this country lost its mind - parents would buy me some explosives, and I'd go outside and play for a few hours.

The fact that there really are places in this country that ban spaklers, firecrackers, (and pretty much anything fun) shows just how lost we are becoming.

Sure every year some kids might lose an eye, or a finger -- but those are the stupid children that were never going to accomplish much in life anyway. You don't need all 10 fingers to push buttons at the McDonalds drive thru.
 
200? Meh. Try 1000+. The wooden sparklers just make a 30-50 foot gyser of flame. The metal ones leave a nasty red-hot metal hedgehog behind that will melt into asphalt.
 
Nah.

Everyone knows you should scrape off the powder and put it in a can and then ignite it by lighting one sparkler in their middle that still has it's spine.

We've become a nation of coddled metrosexual pansies, it's true. Guys today make every effort to look and act like they've never had a drop of testosterone course through their veins.

I saw a lame ass sparkler last night shooting fireworks with my brother and nephews. Back in they day, sparklers lasted, shot massive amounts of sparks and no flame. And I think burned at 800 degrees or something or at least hot enough they had be put on metal and not little wood sticks.

Sparkler bombs are nasty as hell. People just dont grasp how much damage they can do, especially to your yard.

I've never liked them. Especially when people use those metal wire ones. I stick to stuff that doesn't send red hot shrapnel everywhere.

Sure, it's all fun and games till some kid burns the house down. then again, if your not clever enough to find fireworks anyway, you don't deserve to set them off. (Indian Reservations FTW)

P.S. Bottle rockets make excellant torpedos, but fishermen can always throw rocks!
