I have been joking about going as a sexy Dinosaur for years and those ****ers who make costumes did it. They really did it.

Edit: Also, currently my favourite costume on imgur: Dumblewhore.

Edit2: Checked imgur comments. New favourite: Edgar Allan Hoe.

I really didn't do anything. It was rainy so hardly any children came to the door for candy (which means I get all the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups), my brother was grounded so I didn't take him out for candy, there was hardly anything on the television (YAY Halloween III...), and nobody I knew, even my coworkers, got back to me with any plans (which may or may not solidify what I think they think of me).

On the bright side, **** YEAH REESES

Should probably add that I don't want to explode stuff (I'm probably a bit eccentric, but not psycho), I'm just curious how you would explode anything as entertainment without being very, very far away.
I actually put a good deal of research into this before our first excursion. A friend of mine is a fireworks dealer/pyrotechnician, so I checked with him what kind of firecracker would do significant damage. He said it would take [snip], which is quite illegal in city limits. In fact, any gunpowder explosion is illegal except around July 4 or New Years. So fireworks were out.

[explanation that essentially adds up to "Dry ice/bottle/other stuff"]

And now that I've told everyone how, DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME. I am a semi-trained professional, and I know people who have gotten hurt badly when these are done wrong. (An idiot I knew in college used a glass bottle, and picked it up to see if it was bubbling. His entire belly got slashed by the shrapnel, and he won a trip to the ER.) The pumpkin actually makes it safer than just a bottle, but we always stand at least 30 feet away just in case. We had a good sized chunk that actually flew about 40 feet one time, but it's going so slowly it's not going to cause any major problems.

Yeahhhh no offense Notabot but I'm going to go ahead and edit that up a bit. :p That was a bit more detail than I was expecting, and that little niggling voice in the back of my head says that I should probably edit the details out. But thanks for clearing that up, I was curious as the video doesn't seem to have been taken from very far away.

I appreciate that. I was thinking of doing the same myself. Never know what kind of loons are going to wander into the Archive. :)

I wasn't thinking you were a psycho until you went out of your way to say you weren't.

Anyone else scared Sades now knows how to blow things up?

I suspect that's a law a lot of people would love in this country as People Letting Off Fireworks At The Wrong Time Of Year is one of those things Brits adore moaning about.

Though if it is illegal in America (or at least your part of it) to let these things off at any other time of year, what do ex-pat Brits do on November 5th? This attacks their very cultural identity!

They're labelled terrorists and held indefinitely. That'll teach 'em to be foreign.

Fireworks are legal in Alberta FYI. :p

All these words and talk of explosives... We're probably on a watchlist now.
