With fireworks...
it always goes bad
I can remember thinking it was a great idea to fire off a bottle rocket at the skating rink. It was a black cat with a nice little explosion at peak height. It ended up hitting the disco ball and sending little pieces of glass all over the floor. I was kicked out indefinitely and got a bill in the mail for $500 for a new disco ball. I never paid. Do you think they still remember? That was in 1981-82.
I have a bunch of fireworks now that I bought in Missouri on the way back to Cali from Ohio. They are so cheap, so you buy alot and then have no where to set them off.
