Fun Things to Do With Fireworks

I was bored when it happened, I admit it. But it's still pretty cool.

-Take a jumping jack and wrap electrical tape around it, covering both output holes. Get a small diameter tube, about 3 feet in length, and prop it at about a seventy degree angle. Next, grab your modified firework, hold it fuse side down over the end of the tube, light it an drop it down the tube like a mortar. Watch out: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Other times it blows up.

-Find an airtight container with a screw-on lid, made of flimsy plastic. Go buy some "crackling ball" fireworks. Be sure to get this on tape. Light one of the balls, drop it in the container, screw the lid on and RUN! The thing blows up if you do it right. Careful who is around when you do this. Some people don't have the stomach for large-scale domestic explosions, and others might get mad at you for spewing pieces of plastic all over their yard.
