:: staggers over to bonfire with a big paper bag and and some jars :: Let’s see if I remember my chemistry… :: mindless whistling while emptying jars into bag :: Let’s see, a little copper sulfate, some strontium nitrate. Hmmmm…a generous helping of copper chloride, and just a touch - Whoops! - ok, more than a touch of lithium chloride. Mix, tape the bag shut, and shake. Toss it on the fire :: FLING! :: Look at the pretty colors! Like those fireplace pinecones, only bigger! Wheeeeee! ---
