Wow. I wonder if we are better off that he lived or not. Common sense people. Come on...

[Garufa]

Well, he was behind a tree.  Was that a plastic ####house he blew up?

I think these guys might have had a little something in them too. And it wasn't iced tea.

They won't, I know of at least one incident where a guy lost a leg from a flying lawnmower blade or some such that he shot.

Yep. An entire mower, from about 50 ft away.  Because all that sheet metal certainly won't generate any shrapnel...  

There's a reason why the bottle says min safe distance is 100 yds per pound.

The video was uploaded to Youtube 2 days ago on Wednesday June 7th so it could not have been on FB too long.  Anyway,  Bubbas are going to do what Bubba types do, It's in their DNA.  Bubbas can be found all over the world, among every race, religion, political beliefs and income class.  I must have a little of the DNA  as when I was younger I did several Bubba maneuvers.  I'm really glad the ability to record and disseminate evidence of such behavior was not available back then or at least Al Gore had not invented it yet.  I consider myself very lucky now.  I and several of my Bubba type associates survived and have no permanent disabilities as a result of such activities.  I will be totally honest now, this tannerite and refrigerator door video would qualify as a lame opening act compared to some of the stupid Bubba stunts I'm associated with back in the day!

I grew up with my Dad telling me stories of making black powder bombs out of car parts and restoring a demil'd belt fed 50 cal in his spare time at the machine shop he worked at. I never quite lived up to that.....but I tried. Lol I did not partake in a lot of alcohol back then, maybe that was why. Or maybe his stories taught me to do crazy stuff, but not be Bubba stupid about it.

Yeah back in simpler times a boy had the joy of one stop shopping at the Rex-all to pick up all the supplies necessary to make a credible boom.

Combine this with being in near proximity of Dixie Gun Works (massive quantities of bp & cannon fuse) and maybe a co-op.  Good times!  This was years before anyone knew of that Timothy guy and the OKC thing.

I still kick myself that I passed on a 500 foot roll of cannon fuse for little of nothing when I was a kid.

So now you know, face the door in a different direction......

It was almost like the bulging of the door by the explosion caused the door to assume a shape that provided lift as it flew away from the explosion.

Do not fill a tractor tire tube with acetylene and throw it on a campfire. I'm just saying....

I was wondering if Greg's eyebrows have grown back.
