We blew off a ton of single and triple "mortars" on Friday night and no one yelled "USA USA!". Not because we were trying to be unpatriotic, but it's just not something common. ....and Augusta, Ga. is VERY patriotic. Only thing besides a WhhooooHoooo, and the sounds of a beer can opening, aside from other chatter, was when some dipshit put one of the mortars in upside down. See, here's the deal, those "mortars" (sometimes called "Festival Balls", are only meant to go in one way, that way is up. Why? Well, because they're supposed to ignite and shoot up in the air. If they're pointed downwards, well, you can just imagine what happened when the first of the trio blew apart the tube. Two were nanoseconds away from going off. We scattered like hell.
