brimstoned Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Hey fellows, feel free to add your comments about the WORST practices that can be attempted in pyrotechny. I don't think one can ever have too many don'ts in the head when persuing this passion. Famous last words:This flash is not compacting well; pass me the steel mallet.Let's see if red phosporous will clean up my tumble media!Old 30-06 cases make the best whistle tubes...I always feel a little nervous opening my BP mill, I'll bet a good cigar would help with that.No time to air dry, these NC bound stars are going in the oven!

Vitamin F is for wusses, lets try some HE in those... I wonder what this smells/tastes like.... Oh! It would be so funny if we pranked X by.... Hey you! Throw me that....

MrB Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Why is it i have a feeling most of these quotes are wrong? I mean, i know some of you said these things, and your still here. So much for "last words", i mean. (Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want you gone.) The closest i ever got to "famous last words" is this: Oh shit. Hardly creative, i know. Sorry.B! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed MrB, its mostly impossible to add any famous last words as they didn't survive... For me, it was six weeks in a coma, intubation, extensive skin grafts and MRSA infections, I think that about as close as one can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdercks Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 what would have been my famous last words would have been something like "me quemo, me quemo!!!!!" ( I'm burning, I'm burning) R-candy burns really bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
