A fellow at a company I used to work at did that in Iowa. Following, some other people in Iowa actually held an event commemorating the act. Outdoors, of course, and at the end of a long extension cord.
It seems the torpedo-shaped vacs will belch fire out the exhaust until the innards slag themselves, but the shop-vac types pop their tops with a satisfying boom, and if you put them out, the trick can be repeated several times.
Keep in mind this 4th of July, that the key phrase here is LONG extension cord.
I really hate these small town web pages that constantly make the same error of assuming that everyone who ends up in their content, on their page, knows where the fuck Sheboygan is.
