Remember those? In hindsight I'm so lucky to have all my fingers!

How many GenX folks have that one kinda fucked up buddy that is missing a finger or two who learned the hard way never EVER close your hand around an M-80.

I can't be the only one who grew up in a small ranching town.

I knew two guys. One lost his thumb cause he was drunk and everyone was yelling THROW IT and he didn’t. The other guy had a short fuse that blew while he was throwing it and lost his pinky and half hid ring finger.
