So I was messing around in Macromedia Fireworks… not making much progress, so I decided to play with real fireworks…  
I went and bought some fire kracklers

one problem… the fuse was wet, so it was taking a long time to lite, all of a sudden the wind shifted, and blew the fuse so it was facing my hand, and of corse that was when it lit, heh… now i have a really nasty burn on my thumb, and it is making it hard to type, just wanted to share that, because Im playing with the safer fireworks again…

do any of you have firework misshaps you would like to share?

why just sue macromedia when you can sue; macromedia, the fireworks company, the people who make the explosives in the fireworks, the people who make the igniter, the people who make the covering of the fireworks, the people who made the firework building, and the company who made your computer that ran fireworks mx.

When I was young (probably around 8) the local gang (kids on my street) decided we should go play with fireworks on the street. They’d just bought 500 bottlerockets, so we were messing around with them. That got boring so we decided to break off the stick, light them and just throw them on the street.

Problem with this is, you never know which way it’s going to go. Eventually, one of them landed the wrong way, and came right back towards us and nearly hit one of the guys. It’s pretty scary seeing a little thing of fire coming toward you.
