Are you a pyro?

Recommended Posts

I grew up on a farm and had nothing better to do than burn and blow up stuff. This is all no shit: I:
1. Burned down an abandoned farmhouse with my best friend by accident.
2. Made a foot long pipe bom out of 1" pipe and set it off in the drainage pipe under the sidewalk to the Ag Barn, it went off just as our shop teacher walked outside to see us all scatter. I got 4 licks and had to repair the sidewalk. (Imagine if some kid did it today).
3. I spent hours making models of airliners just to light them and trouw them in the air.
4. Hell, just a couple weeks ago I was shootin model rockets at the DZ. We ended up jus holding onto the rocket and lighting the engines by themselves.
5. drop a can of WD-40 into a barrel fire....In about 1 minute, it will explode and make the coolest mushroom cloud.....I=t is even more fun if you can do it on the sly while people are warming around it. I can tell you from experience, about 70% will think it is not funny at all, be prepared to haul ass or just hide in advance.

We used to have campouts a lot well not so much a campout but wed all get together for a bonfire here in warner robins and wed do that among other things and see what would make the loudest boom, we found that live shotgun shells made a bigger sound of course wed remove the buckshot first I mean hey Im not stupid:S

Yeah, I had the same experience with some wet flares from a boat, about 70% of the people freaked out..... We threw them into a barrel fire and they took about 5 minutes to go off, about 10 people had convinced themselves that they weren't going off and were subsequently peering into the barrel when a couple of the rocket flares went off...

Funniest thing I'd seen in a long while.

Didn't burn down the house but....

My cousin and I did burn down my Grandma's hay barn... that shit burns fast :$

Same cousin and I also set the woods nearby on fire while shooting roman candles at each other... managed to get that one out before getting caught, but stomping out a fire in shorts and tennis shoes can get a little exciting, thank God I was too young to have much hair on my legs :P

Some years later, some friends and I decided it would be cool to have roman candle fights while driving down back streets of town (seeing a pattern here?). The shots were bouncing off of the car behind us and into the ditch... we set a good 1/2 mile of ditches on fire (lots of houses nearby). Luckily the FD showed up before it got out of control. We hauled ass to his house and hid my car in his garage and I waited till 3 a.m. to leave town.

That was the last of my bigger pyro adventures.

Now for the really funny part... my niece burnt down the same rebuilt barn when she was 13 :D. Guess it runs in the family :S.
