You know you're a pyro when...

[JoeRatman]

Okay we had this thread on the two previous forums. It seemed like it was a popular thread, so...

You know your a pyro when ...

you bought so much fireworks for the 4th, that you use it couldn't all up. So afterwards, you are showing off your remaining stash.

you start up a "You know your a pyro when..." thread for the third time.

[pyrocasto]

you drive from michigan to SC to shoot fireworks That's awesome pyrosatan.

you start planning next years show before you shoot this years.

[Chris]

When you think the "f" word means fireworks.
When you are looking for a car to buy you look for the one that has the most cargo space.

[pyroholic]

When you constantly, but suttely, mention how nice it would be to live in South Carolina.

[johnny_boomboom]

It is a wonderful thing to live in South Carolina...

When you spend more money on a small show then your monthly grocery bill...

[carp]

When you fire a few shells and immediately check and bring the mortars in the house to use as a pyro air freshener.

[Don F]

You know your a Pyro when a car backfires in town and you get six phone calls asking what you shot.

If a shell bursts anywhere and people call you figuring your shooting

you test fire a shell and the local police call to see if you need traffic control

[KidWithFireworks]

When you put ''On the fourth day of christmas'' you put smilies next to the fourth and make it italic

[Aric]

When Palm Trees and Weeping Willow Trees bring back pleasant memories! -

[xenon]

1.When the fire department has a party a week after the 4th to celebrate a successful shoot

2.When at the party, you get asked if you have the town's show already figured out for next year

3. You respond "yes" to #2

4. When you say to the head of fundraising, "can you get just one more sponsor to sign on so we can get a ninth case of 6" shells"

5. When you say something similar to #4 every day of June...

[leeca]

When you can name each cake at the demo night without a shoot list after seeing the first 3 shots from each cake. BTDT

[JoeRatman]

When you have the smell of sulfur and soot about you, and you like it.

[KidWithFireworks]

You use sparkler boxes as pencil holders and have empty or full fountains on your desk.I'm suprised BayArea510 hasn't brought this up: That this is one of your dogs:

[leeca]

Damn sorry to see you got Phantom'd there Kid. Next time…Drive past Black Jacks. and Phantom. and hang a left just before Mc Donald’s. Areas 51 will set you free!!

You know your a pyro when... You see a fellow Pyro get Phantomed and you hurt for them!!

[leeca]

You know your a pyro when...

When you always have to take a big sniff of the tube after you shoot off a shell. Humm Baby good stink !!

[zgnf05]

When you find out that your grandparents used to run a fireworks stand and didnt even know it.

looking at open states to open a small fireworks shop

[Pyroman6000]

When your buddy gets his 2nd DWI in 6 mos and is looking at Jail time thru the summer and all you can think about is DAMN, there goes my shoot site...

[JoeRatman]

Well you are driving down the road and you glance at bill board that says "Olsen Firework". You get excited and look at it closer and then you see it reads "Olsen Firewood".

[Troutmanx36]

When you desk is decorated with 14 different tubes from fireworks you have used before.

When you walk around town on the 5th of July picking up wrappers and seeing what was shot the night before.

When you see someone shooting fireworks near you so you walk into their yard and ask if you could shoot some of your stuff for them.

When you could judge the distance, direction, and type of fireworks just by the faint sound.

When you bring home a new batch of fireworks and sit there and smell the sweet smell of cellphane wrapping and cardboard on all the pretty boxes. (I can't be the only one)

When your english teacher asks you "Do your parents know you shot off that stuff at homecoming?"

When your locker has pictures of your girl friend, fish you've caught, and most importantly, your fireworks stash in it. (I'm probably the only one with that)

When you look at your class ring and go "I wonder if anyone will buy this for fireworks money?"

When you look at ur car and go "I don't really need it. I guess I could sell it for more fireworks."

When you drive by a field, the first thing you look for is powerlines and trees.

And finally, the most flattering compliment that I have ever gotten: When you make a redneck go "Whoa.... that was big."

[Troutmanx36]

Thanks a lot man. I've been a member of these forums for like three years now but with school and everything I never had much time to post. I finally came back to check it out, especially now that I'm eighteen and I can put all this knowledge to use without worrying about dragging my dad along. I hope to get to know you guys and maybe I'll meet a few of you at the Pyrobilia event next Saturday.

[Marty]

you clean out your POVs and all have e-matches in the door pockets & glove box, and maybe a gerb or two.

[JoeRatman]

Somone sees your stash and says "wow thats a lot of fireworks" and then you tell them that those are "left overs" from last year and you haven't gotten this years fireworks yet.

[FWX006]

You try to work out what fireworks to put with every piece of music you hear.

[AceThunder]

you snicker when a buddy tells you of a great buy one get one free deal he got at the local fireworks store.

you stop lighting Twitter Glitter and Garden in Spring that come in all those assortment kits, only because you no longer waste money on those assortments.

[lamrith]

When your background on your work PC is a picture from your last show and your screensaver is a montage of all the pictures...



When you buy out Parts express of thier RCA jacks or speaker terminals to expand your firing system...

When you buy a trailer and convince the spouse to let you get a car trailer with wood sides as a utility trailer because you know it will be great for hauling pyro..

When your dissasembled firing racks stacked up for storage are a few feet taller than you, and are not enough capacity to fire your next show out of...

When you start your July 4th show and everyone in a 2 block radius stops shooting thier stuff of to whatch.

[yeagerb]

You know your a PYRO when......

You shoot more fireworks to celebrate the fact that your shooting fireworks!!!

[JoeRatman]

When you buy a trailer and convince the spouse to let you get a car trailer with wood sides as a utility trailer because you know it will be great for hauling pyro..

When your spouse (who doesn't really care for fireworks) suggests you buy a trailer to haul all the fireworks and equipment to your shows.

[johnny_boomboom]

When on April 1st your stash is already as big as your 4th show last year... and you really didn't shoot a small show last year...

I took an inventory on Friday evening... I cannot believe how quickly cases add up!!!!!

[johnny_boomboom]

When you start your July 4th show and everyone in a 2 block radius stops shooting thier stuff of to whatch.

Been there... done that...
I just love to watch them walk up from a couple of blocks away after the show and ask if they can join in next year!!!!
