A local limestone quarry owner always has a big 4th of July celebration. Included in the list of admittedly redneck, beer induced activities is the baseball launcher. A 2 inch diameter iron pipe driven two feet into the ground on one side of the lake. Approximately 150 yards away, on the other side of the lake, those participating as "catchers" don their baseball mitts and wait for an M80 or something homemade but equally potent (rock quarries gots dynamite!) to be lit, dropped down the pipe, and a baseball quickly balanced over the open end of the pipe. Usually takes a couple practice shots to get the angle/range right. From there it's all fun & games until somebody gets a hand blown off, which fortunately hasn't happened in the years I've attended that wonderful event. |

Hopefully it was this M80. ![]() Putting them in a pipe are VERY dangerous. My father was a mine expert and he went ballistic when I told him that I put those firecrackers into my bicycle handles. If you use M80 dynamite then it's called a pipe bomb that terrorists use! Even the ignator is enough to blow up a steel pipe! Been there. Done that. |

There are n sweets in a bag. 6 of the sweets are orange. The rest of the sweets are yellow. Hannah takes at random a sweet from the bag. She eats the sweet. Hannah then takes at random another sweet from the bag. She eats the sweet. The probability that Hannah eats two orange sweets is 1/3 Show that n²-n-90=0 ![]() Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. ![]() |

The Beauty of Gray Hair (Gray and Proud) :) :-) For nearly 2 weeks I appeared in court with the biggest mop of gray & white hair & got funny looks... ...Thursday as we knew the trial was coming to an end, decided to "clean up" (the court security failed to recognise me). Nice short, back & sides, suited & booted, even the BBC reporter started hitting on me (as well as a few others) :-) Don't women like "mature gray haired men" then? tut tut tut, all that "experience" going to waste :-( |

That sounds like the Family Fortunes Programme over here some of the questions are shall we say daft. I don't know where this goes, but I hope it goes viral. Old enough to know better(but)still young enough not to care |

I don't think The Family Feud is the problem here. I asked LSM about it, and she says self-image problems come from the mind of the individual. Not surprising in a culture that tells us that we all should look like we are in our twenties for ever. Some times it is hard to get through all the idiocy going on in the world, but you gotta'. ![]() ![]() edit: I know that LSM looks better now too me than she did even on the day we got married! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Dynamite. Like light it and stick it there........ Dynamite? LOL My GF worked for Nitro Nobel. When she was in the middle east countries she was called Miss Dynamite. She knew where to put the sticks. Remember to use at least a helmet when blasting... Dynamex, Pentyl fuse, C4, Cutting big tree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxqB0lXGTn0 |

Dynamite. Like light it and stick it there........ Some like the smell of napalm in the morning. Must smell like gasoline... The smell of C4. I Think it's the same like the smell of dynamex. You get a very big headache from doing that. |
