At vendor Number 2, we also received some pimper bottle rockets. I forget what they were called as well, but they gave us three free ones upon checkout. Basically, they're just larger bottle-rockets that are faulty and explode on the ground, and endanger the lives of teenagers, but they're still tight-as-hell for the price we paid for them.
Orgazmo did a custardly job of covering the actual fireworks, so I feel no need to go any deeper with that. I would however like to go ahead and say that the firework stand where Gopher Golf Used To Be kicks the ass (rather handily) of the fireworks stand behind Big-Apple Bagel. So patronize the Gopher Golf people if you know what's best for you. But, if you want to see the guy with a patch on his eye (probably because he blew it out with his own merchandise), as Orgazmo mentioned, you should go to the one behind Big Apple Bagels because the manager of that store has a huge-ass band-aid on his eyeball, and it's not bad.
One of the other pieces of tinkery that we obtained was a huge-ass bottle-rocket. The "stick" part of the bottle rocket was probably about the size of a thick golf club, and the firecracker part of the bottle-rocket would be about the size of a cob of corn. Alright, so now that you have that image, the idea of this device is to gently stick it in the ground, light it, and watch it go skyward. Well, one or the other of us (namely otnguegina ...you'll have to unscramble his name to find out his real identity) inserted the work too far into the ground, so when he lit it, this seemingly pimp-ass firework started blazing right on the ground (imagine someone lighting off one of those fireworks that you see at the fair, on the ground....then back it off a bit, and you have what I'm talking about). Anywho, it was very pimp to watch this thing blow up on the ground, but I can't even imagine how pimp it would be to watch it blow up in the air. I would recommend picking one up just to see if it's worth the small patch of money you have to pay for it.
Have fun.
