I saw a video of an O motor lighting and it chuffed for about a whole minute before getting off the rail. The comment I heard was "I have seen campfires start quicker than that".

I built a rocket called "Drag Queen", and after it's first successful flight, I commented that I was surprised that the Drag Queen flew straight. So, a fellow rocketeer within earshot called called back "Now that's ironic", and the more I thought about it, the funnier it got.

"There was a mini explosion there" in reference to a J1799N launch. Rocket was over 100mph by the top of the rail.

I flew a rocket with a plastic pumpkin that the rocket went through the center off. The LCO said "well it stayed together".
