I think everybody can remember our own stupidity at that age!

I built a carbide cannon with a flash box that my brother's band would use at the start of a set. It would start with a massive explosion from the cannon, followed by a ~6-foot gunpowder firewall.

Just perfect for "Smoke on the Water!" Eventually, the Fire Marshall got wind of it... 🤣 He wasn't impressed.

Thank God we didn't kill anybody!
