Clayton: Did you get fireworks? Adam: Pssshh. Did I get fireworks. Who do you think you're talking to? I got the "mondo-supreme patriotic extravagance all-nighter super-enormo pack". It has everything. Clayton: Where is it? Adam: Well...it didn't fit in the car.
My dad loaded the back of his pickup with all the mortars one place in Illinois had, all illegal in Wisconsin at the time. Spent 20 minutes lighting them off in the driveway, and then the next 30 in the basement with the lights turned off as the cops pounded on the door for a solid 5 minutes. Despite my dad tossing the canisters in the garage, you could tell it was us with the ash and bits of paper everywhere and the lingering metallic sulfur scent of spent gunpowder. He never did get a ticket. Good times.
