4th of July Plans?

[Big Jim P]

Lo and behold, who is now the top dog in the world?

China ?

Well, we have to buy our fireworks somewhere.

Oh, and China isn't top dog yet. They just own the top dog.

[The Alma Mater]

Oh, and China isn't top dog yet. They just own the top dog.

Hmm, not sure if they haven't already overtaken the USA.
In any case, I would prefer topdog USA over topdog China.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Fireworks... one of the American favourites. Is there a contest to see which city can put up the best 4th July fireworks?

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Nothing. Probably stay home and read. My family doesn't celebrate the 4th of July. But since this year we're on American soil, we'll probably hear the ruckus of the fireworks and such.

[Ashmoria]

the husband, son and i are going to carlsbad for some spelunking on the first. we are scheduled to drive home on the 4th so it depends on when we get home.

my niece, her husband and 3 kids are supposed to be in town that day so there is some chance ill take the kids into town for the fireworks.

[Neo Art]

Obligatory fireworks display at my friend's farm along with bonfire and smores. Also, stargazing and firefly catching and stuff.

I'd rather stay home, but it's important to the kids.

I think you can chip your kids now, the same way you can chip your pets. Hell I saw an advertisement of some kid running away from his mom, so she pulled out a tracking device and found him.

1) the chips we put in pets these days are not GPS locator devices. They're microchips that are encoded with the name, address, and phone number of the owner. Those chips can be read with a hand held scanner. And while theoretically you could have such a chip installed in your children (physically possible at least) it only works if you have someone with the scanner device within a few feet of the kid. It doesn't in any way help you figure out where it is.

2) the commercial you saw was for Duracell batteries, saying that they're so long lasting that they're trusted in applications and devices that absolutely HAVE to work. Like the GPS device, installed in the kid's shoes. Not in the kid himself

[Pantera]

Guns and booze. Just like every other Fourth of July.

[Daistallia 2104]

Hopefully, as an Aussie acquaintance who attened one of my 4th gigs a few years ago put it, "drink beer and blow shit up".

Ohohoh.... By any chance are you in with the clean up/restorationists program dealy?

noooo im leery enough about going to carlsbad in the summertime --the temps are always over 100 in the summer--without committing to anything.

as it is we'll have to walk HALF A MILE.... UP HILL...to get to the cave entrance.

[Maurepas]

Ill be workin till 7:00PM, then Ill probably go shoot fireworks off with the family, then maybe hang out with some friends depending on what they are doing that night,

[Katganistan]

My fiance's been in physical therapy, and there are other worries about other family members that have been on my mind.

That said, I'll be with him -- and if we can manage it (since he is not terribly mobile at the moment) we'll try to get to our friends' cookout. If not... well, fireworks on TV, I suppose.

[Chetssaland]

2nd of July: Have friends come over and light off illegal fireworks
3rd of July: Go to my grandma's house to watch fireworks show for free
4th of July: See 2nd^^

[Jordaxia]

Well, as a british person, I shall mourn the fourth of july, by sullenly sitting in a dark room on my high backed leather chair, drinking a glass of fine brandy, flinging the glass, enraged, into the fire, and yelling;

CURSE YOU AMERICA, CURSE YOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Rhalellan]

BBQ, Beer, Firearms, and fireworks!! (not in that order)

[Augmark]

wake up, state the pledge of allegiance

march for the FD in our towns parade, then probably a cook out, and fireworks.......there's also this fair thing, but it kinda sucks

Ah well. My Dad's been doing that for years - the volunteer crews are basically rewarded by after hours free run of the place - he's been in all sorts of cool parts of the caverns that are off limits to John Q Public.

[Grave_n_idle]

Grill as much meat as possible, for as long as possible. Eat some delicious cheeseburgers and bratwurst, then watch Equilibrium, King of the Hill, and The Big O.

Then I'll post about it on NSG; that's the most important part.

I endorse the watching of Equilibrium.

[Ann Coulters Ideology]

Putting on my best black dress and heading over to the FOX News party.

Should be fun.

[Sarkhaan]

Beer, grills, explosives, and large guns.

[IL Ruffino]

I'll be in Philly, on top of a 19 story building, getting high and watching several different firework shows.

It's nice having access to a roof that gives you the ability to see miles away.

[Chumblywumbly]

I endorse the watching of Equilibrium.

That's one of the silliest movies I've ever seen.

[Chandelier]

My family might have plans, but they haven't told me of them yet.

[The Macabees]

My yard faces Tijuana, so I'm probably not going to see any fireworks.

[Reprocycle]

More than likely getting myself in a lot of trouble in the skies of Cumbria
