Many years ago, I had an acquaintance generally known around the county as Crazy Barry who demonstrated a great fondness not only for spectacular explosions, but also for large caliber handguns, fast cars, machetes' and the indiscriminate use of martial arts. Later, the folks around the Co-op said it was only natural when became a police officer. The following idea was his: One of the neatest enormous-bright-orange-fireball-type explosions you've ever seen, let alone created, can be made very easily and at great personal danger by simply taking one of those $1.79 propane torch cylinders, taping on a 15 minute road flare, backing off about a half mile and shooting it with a 30-.06. This is best done while standing behind some impenetrable barrier such as a concrete bunker, granite wall or a '50 Buick. If you just want a taste of this effect, you might use a discarded "empty" cylinder for starters. This conflagration is guaranteed to add a festive touch to any outdoor occasion. The inherent dangers should be intuitively obvious to even the most casual reader (so like, don't tell them you heard it from me, eh?).
