Backyard Fun!

When I went to college some guys made a toilet paper bomb and set it off in a rez unit, it wrecked two doors from the explosion. Carolyn's gone for the weekend to Calgary so the kids and I got messing around and I decided to build one of these; I took a cracker shell and placed it inside a roll of toilet paper and wrapped the whole thing up with duct tape. I had a hard time getting the fuse to light in the wind so I put it in a plastic lawn chair.
You can see I backed off at the right time just before it started smoking and then the explosion! Kirby was in the kitchen videoing through the window.

I was in awe of the result of the explosion; it blew the bottom and part of the back out of the plastic lawn chair, there were bits of toilet paper and duct tape every where! I'm lucky the neighbours didn't call the cops; my ears are still ringing!!!
