Today on Mike: Something about Roman Candles

Back in the day, holidays that involved fireworks meant something different to me and my friends than everyone else. Once I started hanging out with the right people in grade 10 I learned that there's so much more that you can do with fireworks than shoot them in the sky. You can shoot them at each other.

Every holiday we would inevitably end up at a park with a big field, roman candles in hand ready to do one of the most dangerous things we could do without licences and cars, short of dangerous assault with a deadly weapon. Although I guess you could get pretty deadly with a roman candle. Ask Rob. He learned the hard way that the shit shot out of those things bounces off stuff and burns though clothing. This is why fireworks shows just don't do it for me anymore – no one gets hurt.
