Instructions for a Sloveno-Roman Candle.

Happy 2007 everybody!

I gave in to my raging inner child and bought some fireworks this year. It was interesting to see that in Slovenia the warning labels on Roman Candles actually encourage you to hold them in your hand. I always loved Roman Candles as a kid, but in the U.S. the stickers consistently advised the opposite. The instructions were: Plant firmly in the ground, put on a hazmat suit, light the fuse, hail a taxi, drive 50 miles away from the candle, put on your safety goggles, watch and enjoy.

Not that we kids actually did that. Of course we ran around shooting them at each other and of course we hurt ourselves. One time a candle malfunctioned and exploded in my hand, blackening my palm, but otherwise causing no major damage. I could’ve sued my way to success if the damn warning labels hadn’t warned me. Damn.

SreÄ?no novo leto.
