I was very much into model rockets. They were such a blast. Especially when you overloaded them with engines. Heh heh.

Something some friends and I used to do involved bottle rockets. We didn't like the standard static launchers like coke bottles and whatnot. Too boring. So we developed portable launchers. We used thin PVC pipe and capped off the end and put a bicycle handlebar grip on it along with a shoulder strap and would run around the neighborhood aiming and firing bottle rockets. The longer the pipe, the better the aim. We were pretty damn accurate. We had so much fun and never once got caught because we'd be firing from anywhere. Nobody could ever find us. Good times.
