4th of July 2008, we went out to Uncle Richard's lakehouse on Mason Lake, and a bunch of Aunt Dorothy's family came over. One of her nephews, Travis, came up with some crazy ideas for fireworks, one of which was totally awesome: a "Quaker Oatmeal" can filled up with powder from various mortars. You can watch the video here.
So I got the inspiration from that for the first 4th of July Rodney and Jim strip, and Travis made a guest appearance! He actually made a few other cameos, including the 4th of July strip for this year...
Andrew Brinkerhoff, Ciao.
I know that at the time it seemed to the boys like a good idea. The problem is that what they built was a bomb. And that is a federal offence. They have no idea just how lucky they were that nothing more than a few busted windows happened from their various "fireworks".
ReplyDeleteParty pooper?
Perhaps.
But at least I'll never face the danger of being rung up on federal charges.
