handy hints from Scotto as a boy -
Jun. 18th, 2002 08:34 pmHow to make a really nifty smoke bomb - (make sure you're in an open area, and get proper zoning permission if needed)
Combine four parts sugar to six parts saltpeter (potassium nitrate). Heat this mixture over a very low flame until it starts to blend into a plastic substance. When it begins to gel, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool. I suggest that you stick a few wooden match heads into the mass while it's still pliable. You also add a fuse at this point. The smoke device is non-explosive and nonflammable. A pound of this mixture will produce enough thick smoke to cover a city block. Assorted coloring agents can be added for red, gold, green or darker black smoke....probably others that I don't know of.
Watch which way the wind blows.

Scott: "Who is it?"
Agent Smith: "This is Agent Smith with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I need to speak to
Scott tentatively opens front door .
Scott: "I'm
Agent Smith: "I received information from various intelligence sources regarding your plans for the deployment of separate smoke bombs - one red, one white and one blue - on July 4th."
Scott: "Nah. You must have the wrong guy."
Agent Smith pushes his way past Scott, and barges into the den.
Newt [appearing shocked] jumps on Agent Smith's shoulders, steadying himself - and proceeds to scratch his eyes out.
Agent Smith flees the house in pain.
Scott: "There now, Newt. What'sa about I go buy you a pound of fresh flounder? You're such a good boy!"
And they lived happily ever after, with a wonderful display of patriotism on July 4th :)
