In my stupid younger days (not to be confused with my stupid older days), we were wandering West Vancouver, terrorizing other with firewroks

anyways, we ran out, and someone suggested we go "borrow" some fire works from a well known household fireworks display. So we liberated several roman candles for the cause...but it wasn't long before we realized the roman candle that we lifted were the cheaper canadian made ones that had a habit of blowing up in your hand.
So..just as we were about to call it a night, we were jumped by some older dudes. The roughed us up seriously, and stole our fireworks (not that we didn't deserve it). Now I was doing my best holding this one guy off with my "then in their infancy" taekwondo skills....
he did get the better of me, but he was worse for wear, and as revenge, he had a friend hold me down, and he was going to launch a roman at me from point blank.
Well...wouldn't you know it....he grabbed the 1 in 5 Canadian made roman that blows up, not out.
I riggled free, and he came to school with a well bandaged hand.
my last halloween of stupid behavior....glad I survived...I hope everyone makes it.
I will tell my ghost story some other time.
