[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3595221, member: 15054"] That guy is a wimp. I was 12 and i had taken plenty of beatings from my old man and when he said do something you better do it or else. We were pouring hot lead melted on the stove into a sinker mold in the kitchen and the mold did not fill out he thought he needed to cool it off to make it fill out. He held it under the faucet and ran cold water through it and told me to hold it and no matter what do do not move. I was on my knees holding the mold over a 5 gallon bucket of water as he poured the molten lead from the same pot we boil eggs in. That lead hit that mold and exploded right in my face ... Hot lead stuck to my face and my arm and my shirt. I did not flinch, just closed my eyes and held steady as I was told to not move and I knew if I did the pain coming would be 10x what that lead was. The old man hollered put your face in the water. That cooled it off a bit. I left the kitchen and went to the bathroom and peeled lead off my face and arm. That was my Dukes of Hazzard shirt that got lead on it . I was more worried about that than the melted skin on my body. No crying or flinching and sure as heck would not carry on like that fool and shoot myself in the face over a hot piece of brass. His Man card needs removed. And maybe a few other things. I may not be all there though. At a young age I did a test on which firecracker had the most energy. Lady Finger, Black cat or Thunder Bomb. Only way to really tell was to hold each one in my fingers until it exploded. Lady Finger was the middle with Black Cat the lightest and the Thunder Bomb was the strongest. You guys have had them go off in your hands I bet when throwing them. Not all that bad. This was 1980's stuff not the things from the 60's that would remove a finger. :) [/QUOTE]
