ROMAN CANDLE DODGEBALL IS SAFE
01.09.08The good people at Break.com have a couple different videos of people playing Roman candle dodgeball and subsequently getting hit in the face with flaming projectiles. They're especially delightful to watch, because when I was in high school we didn't have the Internet to watch these videos. We had to do it the old-fashioned way: by buying a bunch of Roman candles just over the border, then going to the nearest barren cornfield to do battle our own damn selves. (another clip after the jump)
With Leather safety note: For the younger readers out there, I have to stress that this isn't at all safe, so please: if you're going to play this game, be sure to film it in case something goes horribly wrong.

Fireball! Fireball! Fireball!
He didn’t even look like he got hit. What a shitty game; he should at least have burn marks or bruises from those little things.
These 2 guys ran for mayor of Columbus OH.
Upon discovering the horrendous burn mark he received on his hand following a game of roman candle dodgeball, he chops off his hand and tosses it in the microwave!

These guys deserve a spot in doogie's trunk. No, not for the fucking, that's at doogie's discretion, but for the decapitation.

I just realized your avatar was Sanjaya from American Idol. I thought it was Tyra Banks. That information would have been good to know before I yanked it.
@Bronkowitz: Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.
Trade Roman candles for shotguns and we got ourselves a game.
Wow the graphics for the new harry potter flix have really taken a turn for the worse.
I guess when you're not touring with SlipKnot you gotta fins something to do.

I pioneered this a decade ago with large bottle rockets and a convertible.
I'd play this at night … with a full-face helmet.
Good to see Ed Norton working again.
I remember during my formative years (the early 80′s) of doing the same with bottle rockets. The only time I got hit (while shooting about 1000 to 2000 rockets) it was a new year’s eve (or new year’s night my memory is a bit blurry) with the temp around 20 degrees and one hit my right hand and )O&(*O*&(*^Y*_(! THAT HURT LIKE A (*&(^&%$&%^(^)&*_(!
Of course it was the last year we did it, as one died as a passenger in a dui accident.
too bad he didn't loose an eye
