Which of these was the dumbest thing I did regularly with fireworks growing up?

1. Holding onto a lit firecracker until the last second so that it would blow up in the air.
2. Throwing a lit bottle rocket in the air so that it would shoot off in a random direction.
3. Holding the bottle in my hand while shooting off a bottle rocket.

My cousins used to put an M-80 in a slingshot - one would light it, they'd wait until the fuse was about 2/3 burnt, then sling it up in the air.

Wheeee!!!! What fun!

Until they found one with a really fast fuse.

Hypothetical: Assuming Easton Dean practices well, would you CKF think about putting Re-al Mitchell in wildcat type formation plays or keep him as the backup QB as depth has always been needed at ISU.

Comparative advantage says that if they are roughly equal QBs yet Re-al is a better athlete, you move RAM to somewhere else on the field. That entails some risk because the QB position is so important, but if you think you have an adequate or equivalent backup in somebody else, you are doing the roster a disservice by not moving somebody around (assuming they want to move around to see the field more and would not transfer outright).

Dovetailing with the Gunnerson announcement, are mustard-eaters truly intellectually inferior or is that just an overly-broad generalization based on years of first hand experience?

Holding the bottle? We just held the stick and pointed it each other. Went it started you just relaxed your grip and it would shoot from your hand.

At what age or ages is it acceptable for a male to wear a tank top in public? I say 25 and under is the limit and then for those 65 and older under their good shirts.
