Happy 4th of July to all my fellow americans here on the boards. And for all of you who are not americans, you can celebrate also if you would like. Any excuse to drink and party I always say!! Have fun in the sun and get laid in the shade! Have fun and be safe!
I just spent almost $200 bucks on fireworks... I get to watch my money burn..WhOoOoO hOoOo! The governator asked the people of California not to buy them this year, but I say screw you Arnold. I will be safe and sane! (and drunk as a skunk!)
Enjoy tomorrow people! Great fireworks pic! Pretty.
Love the South Park episode about illegal fireworks:
STU: All fireworks have been banned in Colorado. KYLE: What do ya mean? STU: It was in the paper this morning KYLE: Dude! Just 'cause some stupid North Park kid blew his hands off, we don't get to buy our M-80's? STU:Right. STAN:How can they do this to us? Doesn't anyone believe in tradition anymore?
JIMBO: How come you're not blowin' things up? It's summer. KYLE: Didn't you hear? They outlawed fireworks 'cause a little boy blew off his hands. JIMBO:What?! STAN: Yeah, they're not even having 'em at the lake this year. JIMBO:Oh my God! Well, don't worry boys. Uncle Jimbo is on the case. Buckle your seat belt, Ned. ED: Mmmm-where are we going? JIMBO: Mejico, my amigo. NED: Mmmm-why are we going to Mejico? JIMBO: Buy fireworks. Just 'cause some kid blew off his hands doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer now, does it? NED:Are fireworks legal in Mexico? JIMBO: Hell, everything's legal in Mejico. It's the American way.
We had a small war in our back yard last night with all the fireworks. At midnight, I ran everyone off because I wanted to go to sleep............we'd been going to parties all day and then ended it at out house with fireworks. And my yard looked like a major party went on.............firework trash and beer cans everywhere. Big job this morning in cleaning up.
Yes we had fireworks and gunshots well into 3am. I think because the holiday fell on a Friday this year. No work or school the next day...longer time to stay out and play.
The gunshot thing is always so ridiculous. I wonder how many reports we'll hear on the news today about some innocent person being hit by a stray bullet. Do these people not know the laws of gravity?

^^^^^^^^Y'all do the "gunshots" too????? I just thought that was a Southern thing to do. We do that on New Year's Eve down here, too.
I'd like to know what the rationale is for people shooting guns into the air. I mean, this isn't the wild west anymore. I thought shouting YEE HAW and shooting your sixgun went out with the stage coach. What's the mentality at work here?
I have no idea. I guess people just want an excuse to shoot their guns. And I guess they think New Years and 4th of July is the time to do it. Of course, I disagree with this 100%. But I think that is how they rationalize it. Both holidays are loud with fireworks or banging pots and pans and horns. I don't know...
The fact that that stupid Cloverfield monster immediately popped into my mind when I saw this pic really pisses me off! Horrible movie. How dare it make an impression on me!
