Should I be terrified just in case 1 of them catches fire and explodes? Oh crap, we have several packs of matches and a couple cell phones too. Maybe now that this has been posted on a public forum the Bad Guys, those terrorists, might sneak over and blow me up. If I don't post for a few days, call the authorities and report a terror attack on my place please.







:sarcasm: for the sarcastic impaired.

6. Stored properly, no. Put energetic material should be stored with some care
I would be more worried about old propane cylinders that if leaking and a flame source is present, makes for a casual FAE with devastating results.

16. I'm not a bomb maker, just worried that "they"might be over here now, looking.
waiting, watching, and my car, my booze, my bag of nails, my propane tanks, my bonfire, ooooooooooo

We use chickencoop stuff and compost for fertilizer. If it blew up, would that be like the shit hitting the fan?

20. Gas leak explosions are nasty stuff...I store our propane and fuels outside the main house
*just in case*.

Can't believe there isn't something on YouTube that shows a gas explosion.

11. I have a couple hoses hooked to water spigots too.
And a big dog who would hopefully bark and scare off any terrorists coming to steal my exploding things. No fireworks this yr though.

12. Yes you should!!
I just moved my lawn mower away from my car. All this news coverage made me realize I have an IED right in my own driveway!!

And the kids can forget about fireworks. We have a war on terror to dodge.

19. I have had almost
16 million gallons of petroleum hydrocarbons of various flash points under my direct control for the past ten years.

Regional Manager of a small petroleum company transporting material by rail, barge, truck and pipeline.

Gitmos too good for me I suppose.

and blow them up yourself. Then call the press and claim it was a Bush/Cheney MIHOP.

And I think there's a cell phone, a roll of duct tape and some pliers in there, too. I hope Agent Mike doesn't read this.
