Both gets you the best of both worlds, ;)


The funny thing is, firing automatic or semi-automatic weapons into the air, the way it's enforced, is less of a crime in my town than popping a few m-80s in the back yard. Fireworks are "zero tolerance," big fine, up to a year in jail, while the former is a routine occurrance that no one has ever been arrested for, to my knowledge. Cinco de Mayo is basically a free-for-all on the celebratory gunfire.

:rofl: that is kind of weird...Fireworks are technically illegal within the City Limits, but those limits are less than 5 minutes from my house here...and if the police catch you shooting them in the limits, they usually just ask you politely to not do it anymore and leave...

Watch NK nuke Hawaii then be destroyed by most of the world's military.

Suuure... and if Kim Jong-Il really manages to pull that off, we'll see a cat with wings flying past my window.

I can arrange that.

Disclaimer: The wings attached to the cat may or may not be composed of a Hefty bag and two sticks. The wings may or may not be attached with duct tape. The cat may or may not be dead at the time of its flight. In the case of a dead cat, it may or may not be fired from a catapult. In the case of a live cat, it may or may not survive landing. In case of fire, glass has already been broken for your convenience.

We live near the Hudson River; we will watch a water skiing exhibition there, listen to some live music, sit on a bridge and watch fireworks.

Up until I moved away from my hometown, we watched the fireworks from atop an 8 story bank built in the 30s, followed by throwing a couple watermelons off the roof. After I moved, I would blow shit up with my cousins in South Carolina while visiting. Last year, I went around on a bike with an American Flag (That looked more like a Hawaiian shirt when you looked closely at it). This year, I'll be going Liberal Hippie Commie Vegan on everyone's ass. Apparently, Fireworks are illegal in national forests.

5 Taiwanese he-she hookers and a bottle o' scotch!
Of course, the bottle will be for fireworks--if you know what I mean.

Unless something goes horribly wrong, I'm going to Denver and taking my son to a Rockies game - they're playing the Diamondbacks. After the game (which the Rockies will win, dammit), we'll stay to watch the fireworks.

Dear gods, I hope not. The roads are bad enough when Denver doesn't win a sporting event. Good thing I'll be out of town.

The goats having all been eaten and the dogs given to the SPCA as I prepare to leave the country, however, means that this year's celebration will be more or less tranquil, I hope. I plan to do a little reading, watch the fireworks from home and maybe have a hot dog. Good stuff.

where are you going?

Imll be honest, this is a massive grave dig...But, with no positive 4th of July threads up, just stupid trolling, I figured I was justified, and itd be more efficient to dig this one up than start a new one...

So, Happy Independence Day, what are you doing? (go easy on us foreigners, :p )

When I get off, Imll go shoot off some Fireworks with the family, and do my best to blow my fingers off, 8)

You?
