...so last Saturday my friends and I (more them than I) made rockets out of matchsticks. This (http://www.redkrieg.com/rocket) is small rundown of some of our ballistic adventures. Overall it was an entertaining night. Yep. You should go do it sometime.

Have you ever attached one of those rocket engines onto an RC car? That's cool. My dad and I did that once, and the little dude in the car had his head completely melted off.

You should try that sometime.

My friend threw some lit matches out of his window once.

Good times.

Well, during rocket construction my friend's brother lit a match and threw it on me. That was a dangerous game he played.

...I've never done model rocket engines on non-model rocket things. Not entirely safe, but that's what makes it fun.

I saw this video a couple days ago of two guys shooting each other with lit fireworks. How people can be so dense is beyond me.

Now that's just stupid. I'll be the first to admit that I like to play with explosives and fire and sharp things, but safety always comes before fun. That's just the way of things.

Towns and G and I had to make rockets at school. They were neat.

Since when does safety come before fun? I spend as much time as I can playing with matches, gasoline, fireworks, and anything else that burns or explodes and I'm never safe.
