If I'm not mistaken, that rocket thing opened a rift into another dimension, and promptly bbq'ed the evil beings therein...

Maybe I missed it, but I did not hear anything remotely like "Hold my beer and watch this," so it could not be redneck.

However, I do have some ideas for this coming 4th of July.  Let's see, at a case a week, how mucj Cremora can I accumulate?  And I need to pencil in weekend to visit Pedro at South of the Border*.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

I like the video of the bunch of Afghan soldiers fishing with an RPG with some GI's watching. The person who put it up added the "Smokey and the Bandit" soundtrack, which was quite fitting.

It showed that there's rednecks all over the world.  cheesy

You don't need to go see Pedro. All you need is a metal buckets, black powder, cannon fuse, cardboard and lots of coffee creamer.

He was shirtless and sunburned.  That should count for something.  Beer does not a redneck make.

We did the bottle rocket thing up at my hunting land a few years ago.  We had only 3,000 rockets, and a less elaborate set up.  We took a few cinder blocks, turned them on their side so the holes faced up, then crammed them full of rockets.  We poured gasoline at the base and lit it up.  It looked much like that first video.  We also had a huge screen to stand behind for safety.

Then we had the brilliant idea of using helicopter fireworks as skeet shooting targets.  It actually worked very well, but is cost-prohibitive compared to clays.  grin

I wonder if he cleaned up all the sticks that his little display left in the surrounding area?

In Cali, each one targets and kills a spotted owl. grin

The non-whistling ones have a paper body with a wooden stick so yes, they are biodegradable.  The whistling ones have a plastic body.

Does it matter?  Maybe it's his land.  In which case, he has every right to cover it with fireworks debris.
