So I'm travelling around Europe right now (why I haven't been posting much). I'm chatting with this guy at my hostel, who had been travelling around for a while. He was telling me all the good places and stuff. He'll say "So if you're really into beer, you should go to this one place in Belgium, they have the best beer..." and I'll be "OK, cool, I'll have to check it out"
The next sentence out of his mouth is "So if you're really into hardcore BDSM, you should check out the Kit Kat Club in Berlin...":Q
i keep trying to get my gf to try a golden shower... maybe we can work up to it with one of these bad boys...

No, but there was one called "Desert Blitz" and had pics of tanks in a middle-east type desert setting on teh packaging... thought that was pretty funny!
I looked on their website... but couldn't figure out how to submit... maybe it's only by mail, or maybe they don't do the contest anymore.
Those morter things used to be my favorite - when we first started buying them 10-15 years ago, there'd be a dozen shells in a pack with one tube. A few years later, they were only putting 8 shells in a pack since people were shooting them off so quickly that the cardboard tube was exploding. More recently I've seen 10 and 12 shells in a pack again.
I know a guy who owned a professional fireworks display company. He was a great guy and even let my Dad help him out occasionally (but only on ground-set pieces since insurance was bad enough as it was). About 5 years ago he had a 4 or 6 inch mortor "flower pot" on him while he was about 10 feet away (go off in the tube while on the ground, looks like a flower coming up from the tube from a distance). He took one of the stars in his leg
. He was hospitalized for a while and still walks with a cane. He doesn't do shows anymore, I'm not sure if his company is around or not, but I know because of the accident the BATF came down on him pretty hard (even though there was nothing he did wrong), so he may have hung up his hat for good.

I just set off about $500 worth of TNT fireworks. Try the pyramid things if you get a chance. They're pretty sweet. There was this other thing that was like a double ended bullet with propellers that was also badass. I can't remember what it's called though.
Was it plastic and all one color? Those are so much fun - the sheer "holy crap, where the heck is it going" factor is the best. You light it and run like heck, hear it lift off behind you and hope it's not coming your way. Good memory from my childhood
You guys spending $500+ on fireworks - that's crazy. Used to know a guy "who knew a guy" that would sell fireworks to me at his cost with very little markup. I'd spend $75-$100 and buy an obscene amount of fireworks. There's a thread in Hot Deals right now about some gigantic pack of fireworks at Costco - that's about a third of what I used to buy from him for the same money. Of course, that was 10 years ago at the earliest but it was still a stellar deal considering what the roadside stands sell stuff for.
My 9 year old son was begging for me to buy him some fireworks the other day and was telling me how the best one is the Golden Shower. It was hard not to laugh. I told him to talk more quietly in the store.
I was better off not knowing, what else would you think of a company that once sold "N!gger Chasers"...I think they call them "Bumble Bees" now.

Yup! They're black plastic with propellers. And they might go anywhere. They're like $3 a piece though. The thing is, they don't blow up, they just fly really fast and shoot stuff everywhere. But when they run out of gas, they plumet to the earth intact. I was worried that one was going to land on a car. It'd be like hail.
