Heh. We used to (well, still do really) have bottle rocket wars out on the school field. Just get 2 groups of guys about 150 feet apart, stick em on the ground, aim, and light. It's fun because they just skim on the ground. If one explodes on your ankle or leg you'll get a decent burn. You can see their orange spark trails coming at you, then the sparks vanish about half a second before they explode (usually), giving you about half a second to get the hell out of the way, or pray that it goes off in front of behind you. It's fun.
Another good firework story, I brought a cheap plastic model airplane to my friends, and electrical taped 3 huge rockets to it. Then plan was to light all 3 and let them take the plane on a good ride... well, turns out the big fat rocket in the middle was more than enough, but the right wing ignited and the left one didn't. So the big one took it about 10-15 feet off the ground, then the right rocket lit, causing it to veer left and start nozediving at my friend from about 25 feet in the air. It landed next to him, noze down in the sand - I still have a good mental image of him running towards me as it exploded right behind him in a shower of colored flame, DieHard style.
Good times.
