As a kid, I learned that cow patties are a great force accelerator for M-80s. Push an M-80 (the original strength) down into the middle of a fresh patty and the kill zone has a radius of 30-40 feet!

Dude, seriously? This is something I wish I had known as a child, I had such easy access to cow pies.

Grandparents house/farm was within 10 miles of Alabama, where boxes of 72 original strength M-80s were $4.99. All the boxes of FUN I went through and only blew one finger off! Okay, it was a thumb, and it was only halfway off. Med student was able to reconnect the important stuff and make it almost as good as new, although a bit thinner. But the important part is we were pretty free back then.
