How do you get started in the Firework industry?

1. Buy a ****load of gunpowder.
2. Start saving all of your empty toilet paper cardboard rolls.
3. Collect a ball of string.

I can't do it all for you. You're on your own from here.

 

Just remember...

 

Maybe someone was confused about joining a Rockets board?

 

I think step one involves obtaining fireworks. Actually now that I think about it-step one is acquiring money to buy the fireworks.

 

Is this srs? Can you go into detail because that's a damn shame if true.

 

"Black cats" has a double meaning.

 

Spoiler

 

When did that come about?

In China, "black cats" are a symbol of "luck and good fortune"

In my hilarious quip, which overexplanation is now in the process of shooting in the head and burying in a shallow grave, black cat refers to both a black guy and a firecracker.

 

Have you tried asking on some of these sites?

It was actually a great quip, but you should have just left it alone and not explained it. Mr. Brightside style.

 

Too many flaming race threads around. It's crackin me up.

 

Whatever you do, don't sell no Snakes and Sparklers, make sure you sell the good stuff man, stuff like...

Fire crackers, black cats, roman candles, screaming mimi's, lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snickers bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippity do das, crap flappers whistlin' bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or some whistlin' kitty chaser's

You know.

 

Sounds like a terrible business to be in.

 

It's a pretty tight fraternity so to speak and most of the big guys make a ton of cash. I think it's purposely tight because it's so lucrative and these guys operate a franchise type model with their business. My friends take home I believe about 50-60k per year now only working about 3-3.5 months a year. Couple years back was slower though with drought.

Sorry OP, we'd have to know each other pretty well in RL in order for me to do something like that. Maybe those websites up a few posts are a good place to meet someone.

 

Holy crap, Buck, did you notice the planter? WTF.

 

Sounds like something I'd like to finance, but the day-to-day operations? Hell no.

 

If selling fireworks is anything like working in a carnival- count me in.
