My brother and I used to stake out this one retirement home. We would tie ladyfingers to bottle rockets, and then fire (them) at the residents. What a rush. You should've seen those little old ladies jump.

Roman Candles (are) my favorite type of firework. Last July, I let one off in my cubicle at work. Pretty funny, huh? The building burned down, several of my coworkers were hospitalized, and my uptight boss fired me, but it was worth it. I love Roman Candles.

My friends are really wild. (They) would stand on the highway overpass and drop cherry bombs into the cars underneath, through their sunroofs. (They went to prison, but ) It was hilarious.

I like to light fireworks and just hand them to people like, "Here hold this for me, will you?" It works like a charm. Here hold this for me, will you?

(I've) lit them, then swallowed them whole.

(We have) contests to see who can eat the most fireworks.

I like to light up a whole bargeful of those things and stick 'em in my pants. Now that's fun!
