Moon Rocks and lobster boy

My dad got all 5 digits cut off of his left hand in the 80’s. Changing an alternator on a Mack truck and some Dick head jumped in and started it while dads hands were in the accessories. It also ripped the flesh and skin of the bones of the hand down to the wrist. He was life flighted to Salt Lake City and they put him all back together except the pinky. Something like 300 stitches and he was stuck in this Edward scissor hand contraption that held his fingers straight while they healed.

While he’s got diminished feeling and dexterity in it he’s still a mechanic a fabricator and a pretty good driver.
 
Nope.

Damn. I was a partier. Partied drunk and stupid with fireworks more than a few times.
We thought getting hammered and launching bottle rockets, roman candles, and even some mortars at each other across an open field was a good time. :homer:

And then the passed out Asian kid got lit firecrackers thrown on his chest. :homer::lmao:

that dudes hand is way more fucked than the pictures show. He basically has nothing left.

EDIT: click the reddit head to take you to the video, for some reason the forum keeps switching it to {MEDIA} and saying the video is removed

Did the same minus the mortar shells. I can remember someone hanging out the window of my truck firing bottle rockets at my friends truck in front of me, and they were hanging out the windows firing bottle rockets at us going down the highway to a drinking spot out in the woods. Had a few t-shirts ruined from roman candle wars. We also used to light mortar shells and toss them into the lake or a swimming pool since those would work under water. Never threw those at each other though, so we weren’t completely retarded…

Hell yeah :laughing:

I used to be really fat, and a really big drunk.

I always kept 2 beers on me. One full or in the process of being drank, and an empty with a wad of bottle rockets shoved into the broken open end (like a spit can.)
I'd drunkenly stumblewaddle up to people after trying to light 1, but actually lighting 7 or 8 bottle rockets. Just walk up to em with a beer can full of lit bottle rockets. Hilarity would always ensue and I would usually end up with a face covered in black ash by the end of the night.

And go kart races...

Yeah, from what we saw in the video the mortar was upside down. The first foomp was the launch charge, then a second or two later, the sparkly bit..... now with more bits.

Not sure on the rest.

Yeah no question the mortar was upside down.

I was just trying to understand how it got there in the first place.

A currently un-identified dumbass provided a drunk banana suit/underwear only/now-lobster-hand-guy an already lit, upside-down mortar....then took off knowing what was about to happen...makes one guy all right and sends one to ICU who doesn't have health insurance.
 
Can't help but think if someone purposely put that mortar round in the tube upside down thinking it would be funny or some shit. If the dude is ever identified, he is in for a life of misery. I am sure plenty of people know who he is and there is plenty of video out there to help identify him.

Lobster guy seems to be a professional drunk so totally not making excuses for him but to take advantage or to set him up for failure is no better.

Not sure if you guys can see this or not since it's form facebook, but watching this video makes me think maybe the loader just fawked up. He's there with the torch and you can see him pointing up and looking up for the firework after the launch charge goes off:

 
He looks like the one that go it to the chest too?

Someone come forward for blowing a guys hand off? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
My uncle was a little kid during WWII.

He found a stray shell on a railway track when he was 13, and went and picked it up...it blew up in his hand and sent shrapnel into his body. A US Navy Sargent found him and saved his life by rushing him to a hospital where they amputated some digits and pulled the shrapnel out of his body. Look at his right hand in the pic.

He became an renowned chef, even with his messed up hand. He was the Executive Chef at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite for almost 15 years.
