pyrochris732 Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 here is my vent. That little waste of sperm and eggs Joran (urine) Van der Poop is back in the news. Its a relief that the fucker will probably spend the rest of his life in a peruvian prison but its sad that another girl had to die. And this shit head is on camera admitting that he killed Natalie Holloway on youtube. Hes going to find out really quick that he isnt as invincible as he thinks. Just one of those people you see in the news that you want to be locked in a room with for 10 min.. old fashioned justice.
TheSidewinder Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 I can just imagine the kind of shit-hole a Peruvian prison would be. Good. Perhaps justice will be served, and he'll become someone's (or many someone's) "Juanita".
Cookieman Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Today I went to the government office to renew my health card. I took a # like everyone else and waited patiently for 25 minutes. In that 25 minutes I asked myself "WTF"!!! not one person spoke English in that whole time I was there. Where am I? am I in a foreign country? I felt like I didn't belong. I went to walmart the other day and I asked 3 people if there was a post office in the walmart.Each of them took me to 3 different places. One took me to stationary, the other to clay pots, and the the other to boots and shoes. Again I ask myself "WTF" doesn't anyone understand English? Adding insult to injury at Christmas there yelling Happy Holidays!!!, and When I say Merry Christmas to them they give me a dirty look. Again I ask myself where the F#$k am I?
TheEskimo Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Well, I suppose that the general idea is to not offend other religions, and atheists. If I was practicing some religion, I would imagine that I would take some offence if someone came up to me and assumed that I was practicing another, just because their holiday is the dominant one and is currently being celebrated. The idea behind Happy Holidays is to be as all-inclusive as one can be.As for the people showing you around at Wal-Mart, I suppose that one should expect that kind of service at Wal-Mart I've met some pretty crazy people that work there.And I suppose that people have the right to speak any language they like as long as it doesn't interfere with business. I just went to the Empire State Building, and everyone there is jabbering on and on in Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, etc. But, when they asked me to take a photo of them with their family/friends, they asked very politely in the best English they can manage. As long as the people accept the language of the country they live in and use it on official business, I have no problem with them speaking their native tongue to each other at any other time.I can't remember if you live in the U.S or Canada. Anyways, the U.S. does not have an official language, and in Canada, French and English are the official languages. And as long as they were able to communicate just fine when they were doing their business, I see no problem with them talking to each other in the language of their choice.Just my thoughts.
50AE Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Guys... I feel like I become insane or something. I can't stop making stars. I don't know why I have this mania, maybe I feel like I won't have enough stars for the 2011 NYE shells. Every week I'm making around 1 kilo, and many kinds. I have 4kg of stars stockpiled and I want more and more. I dig and search for more formulas.For this month, I made stars from about 12 formulas.And half of my salary goes to pyro, though it's not much. It's equal to 40 euros per month I'm spending.Last time with the 40 euros, I bought 5kg of KNO3, 1L HNO3, 4kg BaCO3 and a new scale.And now what I have in mind is: buying lampblack, making pine charcoal and try some new formulas, like TT lampblack and flaming shit falls on you. Edited June 22, 2010 by 50AE
Gunzway Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Can I borrow you for a week? I'll feed you and all, don't worry. You can start with making 5kg of glitter and we'll work from there. But yeah... that's a problem right there. I've been making pyro for the last 7 days straight. It's more 'make' and then discharge like tonight with five rockets. But it's the holidays, my friends still have this week at school so I've got a lot of time up my sleeve.
Ventsi Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 ASDFJKHG! Last night around 1AM I was at my local park hanging out with friends like a lot of other days. We are just skateboarding and talking and what not when I hear a shell go off. This is in the middle of the Silicon Valley mind you, homes no further than a few hundred yards. For some odd reason we decided to stay at the park and then another shell went off, I'm mumbling under my nose about how stupid it is. So we hang around just talking and laughing, when a pair of flashlights shine on us.... I was very pissed to get some "accessories" taken away as well as a VERY long talk. I would have had a nice fat citation for what I had on me but as the officer was getting ready to take down my phone number another shell went off, he quickly said we can go and ran off to where the shell was just shot. If I had to guess it was a 2" commercial shell very nice blue. I do occasionally shoot a thing or two at that park but thats only on NYE or just a fountain every once in a while. Still pretty ironic, and frustrating.

Still pretty ironic, and frustrating. Ventsi, I know how you feel, last year on my friends 40th birthday I had an encounter with the police. We were at his mechanic shop in an industrial complex having a barbecue. There were 10 of us there. At the end, I launched an aerial salute that was so loud, someone called the cops. there were 6 police cars that surrounded the perimeter of the complex to make sure no one takes off. I told everyone to make sure we all have the same story. That is, we heard gunshots that sounded to be coming from up the street. We all got questioned one by one and the cops even did a search of my friends garage without a search warrant. They believed us because we all told them the same thing. I thanked my lucky stars that day that they didn't search my truck which had the mortar tube.
Pretty green flame Posted July 1, 2010 Author Posted July 1, 2010 Since when did APC become kewl central? A certain pesron on here has, IMO, bad ideas, lots of flash talk, dangerous comps, taking apart shotgun cartridges and using the filler in fireworks. NC/NG strobe mixes? C'mon. I personally think someone needs a ban. To be honest, It would make me sad if APC became a place where people shared incredibly stupid ideas, I always saw APC as a place to get good and reliable information so it would be shame if this would change.
Cookieman Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 It wont. I am keeping an eye on the situation. Mumbles, there are a few sparks and alot of chemistry going on between those two, you never know, I just might be making a wedding cake soon!! LOL
50AE Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 I just dislike people on a "leisure".I wake up in the morning and I do my planned jobs for the day. I do my activities, pyro, gym, education work, some quick pocket money jobs and etc.What most of the other guys in the neighbourhood do when they wake up: Oh, first most of them wake at lunch time, then they go to drink a beer and chat, they go to a party in a friend's house and finally they sit on the nicest bench to eat, smoke, drink and chat. Then they go to sleep (between 01 and 03 AM of course). And I've been loosing my time so many times with them just to make them happy because of my presence. It's OK to do this four-five times per month, but almost every night? Are these people wrong?Seriously, I become mad when I'm jobless.
Ventsi Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 50AE I know what you mean, I have those days[weekends] but some people just take what they have for granted, especially people who don't know the meaning of money and get everything for free. Anywho what brings me here is somewhat for the same reason as PGF, although what is REALLY bugging me is people starting new thread when there are many other threads on the same subject, it gets annoying and makes searching even more tedious, I personally will bring a thread back from the dead before starting a new one. So mods, can you please ask eveyone to stop posting useless threads, I don't want to point fingers because I probably don't have enough fingers for everyone.
dagabu Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Ha, ha, ha! Looks like I need to start a thread on "How do you make black powder?" huh?
Ralph Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 wake at lunch time, then they go to drink a beer and chat, they go to a party in a friend's house and finally they sit on the nicest bench to eat, smoke, drink and chat. Then they go to sleep (between 01 and 03 AM of course). change bench to beach remove the smoke but and you have described somewhat of an excellent day
Mumbles Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Mumbles, there are a few sparks and alot of chemistry going on between those two, you never know, I just might be making a wedding cake soon!! LOL She'll have to get in line I wish I had your problem 50. I can't find a job for the life of me. No one wanted to hire me for a summer this year, and my budget got a few kinks thrown into it by my roomates. I'm starting to offload my chemicals, and that is becoming necessary to even pay my rent. This is going to be a tight summer. I'm splurging on PGI, and that may be the last thing I get to do. Eh, it's partly my fault. I've probably spent close to $100 on pyro stuff over the last few weeks getting ready for PGI.
50AE Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Sorry to hear about it Mumbles. My father was in a similar situation for some time years ago. They just don't want old folks, even if they are educated and I have the balls to claim that my father is a very intelligent person. On the other side, a motherfucker stole my retort. I was very angry when I discovered it. What's wrong with these people?! The retort was old and rusty and the guy will get no more than 20 cents for scrap for it.The good news are, I'm going to get a new one tomorrow - new and shiny.
dagabu Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 I'm not as old as you think I am. Then why do you act like an old guy? (Just kidding there Mum)
OneEyeCharlie Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 I am a cheap Dutchman, and it came back to bite me on the ass. Instead of wrapping my Lortone jar with a fresh strip of tape, I reused the strip that I peeled off from the last load. There's now a shit-ton of airfloat charcoal covering my garage floor. What a dummy.
Cookieman Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Their's one thing that I still lose sleep over. If the professor can make a radio out of a coconut, make fillings for teeth with plastic explosives, and make nitroglycerin with ingredients found on the island, why can't he fix the boat? And why hasn't anyone try to jump Ginger or Maryanne?
Mumbles Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 So I came home last night to finish up some shells. I really just had to pour in the break, and spike and paste my shells. As I get everything loading I go to grab my burst only to find out that the drain had flooded and my lift/burst was soaked. I have several quite large shells that I now can no longer fire today. I got it dry, but it's too late now. Maybe I can throw together a few mines or ball shells or something. Normally this would just be very frustrating, and I'd have a big head start for next month. However, these are all PGI competition testers. I'm pretty confident with most of them, but I want to ensure my priming is good, and there are a few that I've never made before and want to see in person. I'd hate to bring them and have them not work.
Cookieman Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 There's one thing that really burns my biscuit in life. Making a judgement on a person that you know nothing about. I was reading all the comments yesterday that was posted on the news article regarding Mumbles accident and was disgusted and pissed off at what I read. I couldn't find the comments today for some reason. One person wrote " I guess he must have been running a meth lab" another wrote "Little kids shouldn't be playing with matches" Mumbles is one of the smartest persons I know and I'm sure he took all the necessary precautions. This could have happened to anyone. To all those fucking Idiots and morons out there, who know nothing about him and post stupid comments like that, "GET A LIFE." End Rant
dagabu Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Cookie, They were just crows on the phone line. Ignore them, they have no idea who Mumbles is. It's better to turn inward and reflect on your own (my own) methods of safe manufacture. I for one found one issue with my method and changed it last night.
