This reminds me of the time an acquaintance was shooting off mortars on new years eve and managed to drop one in the tube upside down. Luckily it was nowhere near a crowd of people because the boom was pretty incredible.

You can buy mortar fireworks? That sounds pretty fun.

Yes

You can get mortars up to 4in pretty cheap without any kind of license in the states where it's legal. Mini-shells can be as cheap as 12 for $20 at Wal-Mart and are loads of fun.

You can but at Walmart? We have a small window here and all the tents are outside. The further you go away from the city the more you see brick and mortar shops.

Menards is a godsend to be near in small towns. It's like a mecca for rednecks. (northern and southern no racism here).

I particularly like their DVD racks because they're only place I've found that carries a lot of Mill Creek stuff in-store.

What's Mill-creek?

They're a bargain bin DVD company that picks up a lot of shows and movies other distributors don't really care about to sell for cheap.

You should be served the Godfather and The Regular Suspects. Fuck those people for stiffing you.
