I must confess that the thought of having my very own stick of dynamite had a certain allure, and the old guy wasn't going to be using the stuff, so I swiped one of the sticks.

Old dynamite sweats.

The sweat is nitroglycerin.

Old dynamite can explode when you walk near it too loud.

You are a fucktard.

Leave everything where it is, including your criminal enterprise, leave your house immediately, and call 911.

There was no "sweat" on it.

The old man must have walked past that shed every day. StarShine was trying to root under the pile of lumber. Ground Squirrels must scamper around in there constantly if they have a nest in there. Deer and other wild animals stroll around that old guys yard (and everyone else's here), ALL the time. The old car the tramp appears to be sleeping in is maybe 20 feet from the shed. Frankly, I think if the stuff was going to blow, it would have done so long ago.

While the police are open 24 hours, its just a bit wierd to make such a report at this late hour. The stuff obviously has been sitting out there for years. 6 more hours isn't going to hurt anything.

I'll admit to complete ignorance about the stuff, but I have heeded everyone's advise, carefully replaced the one stick where it was, and will alert the police in the AM.

Fucktard, yourself!

No, you're boring.

You are either lying, as lumberjim suspects, or lucky.

Don't push it, particularly where unstable explosives are concerned.

I'll treat you all to the pics of the bomb squad and the haz mat team when they arrive tomorrow morning.

You may call me fucktard only after I have done something as egregiously stupid as you just admitted to doing.

02-09-2006, 01:25 AM

And you may call me egregiously stupid when I did something as egregiously stupid I did; however, you may not call me a fucktard without expecting to be called the same appellation back. :p

I'm made of rubber, and you're of glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks on you.

Nyaah.

What an entertaining thread.

Please let us know what happens when you call the cops. If we don't hear from you for a while, I'll assume it's because you aren't able to post from your jail cell.

I think it is simply too soon to judge whether the dynamite has gone bad until it does something wrong. Ageism is rampant in this country, despite the fact that the average age of the US is slowly skewing higher as the babyboomers reach geriatic age. Just because dynamite is old doesn't mean that it is somehow wrong or evil. That's like saying that my grandpa must have Alzheimers just because he's 85.

Give old dynamite a break, people. It is, after all, the politically correct thing to do in this enlightened age.

Mari,
don't believe all the bullshit that they're saying about the tnt. They are the fucktards. Here's what you do to "freshen up" an older stick of tnt.

preheat your oven to about 450ºf, then get a cookie sheet out and place the tnt on it and cover it with aluminum foil.
pop it in the oven for about a half an hour.
when you pull it out it will be as fresh as the day it was made.

Don't believe all the naysayers.
