Alright, let’s talk about them roamn candles, you know, the fireworks that shoot up all them pretty lights.
First off, safety first, y’all. Don’t be a fool and get yourself burnt. Always make sure you’re standin’ sideways, like, arms-length away from the thing. And don’t you go hoverin’ over it neither, that ain’t smart. Keep your face and body outta the way when you’re lightin’ it, got it? Use somethin’ long to light the fuse, like one of them long lighters, or even a stick with fire on it if you ain’t got nothin’ else, but be careful now. And for goodness sake, holdin’ it in your hand? That’s just plain dumb, don’t matter what them silly folks do on that TickTock or YouToob thingy.
Now, what are these things made of? Well, I ain’t no scientist, but they got some kinda clay stuff, somethin’ called bento-night, some powder that makes it go up, and them little star thingies that make the pretty colors. And of course, black powder, the stuff that makes it go boom. You light it from the top, and make sure it’s pointin’ up at the sky, not at your neighbor’s house, ya hear?
So, how do you use ’em right? First, get yourself some safety glasses and gloves. Yeah, I know, you think you’re tough, but you ain’t got no spare eyes, do ya? Then, like I said, use somethin’ long to light it. If it’s dark, get yourself a flashlight so you can see the fuse good. Once it’s lit, move back, give it some space. Don’t be standin’ right next to it like a dummy.
- Safety First!
- Stand sideways, arms-length away.
- Keep face and body clear when lighting.
- Use a long lighter or something similar.
- Never hold in your hand.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves.
- Use a flashlight at night to see the fuse.
- Move a safe distance away after lighting.
- What are they made of?
- Bentonite (a kind of clay)
- Lifting charge (to make it go up)
- Pyrotechnic stars (for pretty colors)
- Black powder (to make it go boom)
- Delay charge (so it shoots up one at a time)
- Shootin’ it off
- Point it at the sky.
- Light the fuse at the top.
- Move away quickly.
Some folks ask, can you get quiet ones? Well, I reckon you can, but what’s the fun in that? A little boom-boom ain’t hurt nobody, long as you’re careful. It’s like standin’ in the middle of a busy road, cars whizzin’ by on both sides. Sounds dangerous, but most of the time you’re alright, long as you ain’t stupid about it. But don’t go standin’ in the road, that was just an example, ya hear?
These roman candles, they can be a lot of fun, makin’ your celebrations all sparkly and pretty. But you gotta be smart about it. They ain’t toys, they’re fireworks, and they can hurt you if you ain’t careful. So, follow these here tips, and you’ll have a good time without endin’ up in the hospital. And remember, respect them fireworks, they got the power to make things beautiful, but also the power to cause trouble if you don’t treat ’em right.
Always remember, safety is the most important thing. Don’t take chances, don’t be a fool, and have yourself a good time watchin’ them pretty lights go up in the sky. Now, go on and enjoy them roamn candles, but do it the right way.
And one more thing, teach your young’uns right. Make sure them kids know how to be safe too. It ain’t just about you, it’s about keepin’ everyone safe and sound.
That’s all I got to say about that, now you go on and be careful out there.
