Bowl Of Street Crackers

Align · August 2005

So.
I have this bowl of crackers(you know, the kind that goes bang on new years eve and stuff?), which is at least a year old by now, and no idea what to do with them.
It's illegal to ... crack them? Whatever the word is. Yeah. It's illegal to do that here in Sweden now, because pets promptly panic.

Any suggestions on what to do with them? I can't cut them open, because the knife blade touching the powder is liable to make it catch on fire, which means BANG, bandaged fingers. And probably eyes.

Quit being such a little girly man.

Take one in each hand and bite down on the ends and do two at once right outside an animal shelter.

Seriously, you’re kidding right?

What kind of watered down sissy land bans those little holiday poppers?

Do you guys put like M-80’s in yours or something?

soak in water and then cut them open.

Fill a pinata with 'em. Guaranteed fun no matter what you do with it.

R_A_C · August 2005

wow, i gotta try a pinata with those some time. that would take tons to fill tho, maybe only part way i guess.

Soak em in h2o, toss 'em in a ziploc baggy, and throw 'em in the garbage. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

Fog_cartoons · August 2005

how can you soak them in water? It would ruin not only the hats, but the jokes as well!

DiscoZombie · August 2005

are you talking about firecrackers, as in the kind you have to light? or those poppers that blow up when you throw them on the ground? if it's the second kind, you don't have to worry about injury. I have blown them up between my fingers, it barely hurts. in either case, go somewhere deserted and do something creative with them :> if a cracker cracks and nobody's there to see it, is it still illegal? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

A noise is the interpretation of sound waves by your ears and brain. Thus a falling tree does not make a noise. You could even say, that nothing makes a noise.

i always thought that noise, described something that either was very load, or very annoying

anyways the sound you hear in your head is nothing but soundwaves, therefor noise is also "just" soundwaves

<b>noticeably unpleaseant</b>

load=unpleasant (it hurts your ears)

anyway: what you hear when you are near a tree that is falling and landing is a sound, which can be specified as a noise because of its annoyance (spelling) factor.

Yes, yes it does. Because those sound waves will affect other particles, which will affect other particles, which will eventully exhibit a tiny bit of interaction with everything else on earth, if not the universe.

Yawr, <i>Bowl of Street Crackers</i> is a bit misleading.

Mad_Man · August 2005

If its the popers that just go boom and require no fire. tape them all to the under side of a toilet (perfeably one a female uses a lot) when they sit down it will go boom and scare them.

SoulSkorpion · August 2005

The original koan, as far as I know was "sound" rather than "noise". In any case, Mantrid is right.

They need to be lit, look a bit like small dynamite sticks...
