Back in the day question. Fireworks related

Do you remember using racial epithets while making your fireworks purchase?
Did you have firework wars where you actually aimed them at your friends?
How pussified are kids today that don't carry their own Bic lighter?

Yes...on one type of firework.
Yes...especially at the hunting camp
Bic lighters weren't the thing. Running around with those cigarette diameters "punks" was dangerous as hell

Yes. Bottle rockets = artillery
Roman Candles = close combat.

Yup, those *blank* chasers
We had penny rocket wars all the time... 6 on 6 usually
I had a stash of lighters my parents didn't know about
FWIW 90s kid

We had great wars with Sky Rockets and Roman Candles.
Sky Rockets were cheap but were accurate,You could flip it up head high and send one whizzing at someone's head.

Redneck Chasers is more accurate and appropriate.

This. Zero clue how we all have our eyes. The dunes in Pensacola Beach were modern day Normandy every year during our beach trip.

My wife and mother in law almost lost their minds when I sent a couple roman candle flares my son's direction.

Yes, even then I knew... chasers was wrong to say.
Yes, bottle rocket battles were awesome
I rather my kids not carrying around a lighter

The distance from the end of my driveway to the end of my neighbor's driveway was the distance a bottle rocket typically travels before its report.
1. Lay bottle rocket(s) on street, pointed in the direction of your neighbor who is laying bottle rockets in the street, aimed at you.
2. Light bottle rockets.
3. Keep your head on a swivel.
4. Repeat.

I used an unfiltered Lucky Strike

We used to launch bottle rockets from our hands at each other.
And I remember "people" chasers.

Why you young whippersnappers, I remember way back when, back in the good ol' days when men was men and women was, well, dey was women.
Used fireworks before there were Bic lighters, a good Zippo was the thing to have. And us punks used punks too.
Had a neighbor girl toss a Black Cat firecracker at me from behind when I was like 8 or 10. Thought it was a fly or something lit on my shoulder so I tilted my head to shoo it away. Tinnitus and hearing loss along with scar on my neck ever since.

I thought they were only called ... Chasers when you broke the stem off the bottle rocket and threw them in a group of people.

You're gonna stand there ownin' a fireworks stand and tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, husker doos, husker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisies with or without the scooter stick or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?

Look, a chink chaser is still a chink chaser, okay?

We'd build little forts out of flammable stuff and shoot them at each other. Surprised I didn't lose an eye before I did.

These are the same kids whose moms won't let them camp out by themselves or go on adventures or shoot a small caliber rifle.
I blame the dads for allowing it. That's what we need. More strong fathers to show our sons how to be men and show our daughters how they should be treated.
