Boom Stick by Edwin Wise. The super-loud BOOM STICK is a PVC air cannon that delivers maximum bang for the buck. It assaults the startle reflex of any nearby victim, adding an instant rush of physical terror to haunted houses, art pieces, pranks, and performances. Page 116 - Boom Stick.

Diminutive Balls of Fire by Joel Johnson.

Page 90. Diminutive Balls of Fire.

Hello Moto by Dan Fost. If the headlamp on a classic Vespa or Lambretta scooter can illuminate a twisting Italian roadway at night, why can't it light up a desk? Page 24. Hello Moto.
