My dad used to tell me about 4th of July when he was a kid. They used to
play "war" games with roman candles, and not some little sissy version, but
2 ft long tubes that would shoot a fireball quite a distance. Everybody
with a gun would fire off a few patriotic rounds too.

Now to have a little fun you have to go to Iraq or something.
