I just got a phone call from the guy who fried his hand. He and his wife are expecting. I reminded him of that day and asked if he'll tell his kid that story.

No, no, no.

THIS is what you do with sparklers.

May I introduce you to the "Hillbilly Bottle Rocket." The wife of the guy who built our (OK, Red's) potato gun invented it by sticking a lit sparkler into the potato before launching it. Enjoy. We did! :lol:




Sorry the video is sideways. That's how I took it, and I don't know how to fix it. Here is what the gun looks like in daylight. We were on the Upper Mississippi feeding the sharks with it a few weekends ago. That video got really pixelly and crappy when it uploaded, or I'd post those too.
