man up and get a real one.

Where do you see an electric chainsaw? Not in my yard. Man up and get your eyes checked.

We had a large hole that was bulldozed out back that we used to burn our trash in. We used to set up a board over the burn hole, line up the bottles and jars of gasoline and then start the trash on fire under the board and move back and shoot the bottles of gas with our .22's. Wonderful fireballs.

I've done that as well, it's great fun! What's even more fun is making Molotov cocktails, finding a big rock, and seeing who can make the biggest fireball.

I'm loving these stories guys, keep 'em coming!

We used to empty all the shot out of 12 gauge shotgun shells and stuff them with raw corn kernels, small balls of paper, pennies, a live lizard, etc. Doing so didn't make the rounds any less dangerous and I have scars on my chest and back to prove it. And yes, I was also shot with the lizard.

I feel bad for the lizard :(
