Fireworks, do you set them off yourself?

They're illegal here because of brush fires.

 

[Wiggles]

They're better than rifles in the hands of drunk hillbillies. I'm so happy I moved out of the country!

I only light the sparklers myself, the other kinds scare me to death.

You will have to ask {name deleted by editor} since I refuse to answer as it may incriminate me.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I hate them, but the StudMuffin and Bratchild are on their way outside to set off some firecrackers, smoke bombs, and sparklers.

The octogenarian across the street is highly pissed off 'cause the octogenarian next door gets too nervous to give him nookie when people are shooting fireworks off.

 

[Raina]

Right now I'm not fond of them. The neighbor teenagers are setting thim off in the middle of the road. Which would be okay, except my car was parked right next to where they were lighting them. DUH.

I finally just went and moved the car.

 

[LukkyKnight]

Bantering with octogenerians, eh?

Yea people get rude when setting off fireworks....

why dont they come over and let you know that high heated explosions are going to go off next to your car, and might damage the paint job?

Another reason I dont care for them.

Probably because they're teenagers. *sigh*

I used to really hate the fireworks because I had to go to work at 4am. People would be up at midnight still lighting the damed things. I was the bitchy neighbor that had to go threaten to call the cops several times.

Now, I guess they're okay....just keep the damned things away from my car!

I wish they would ban them here in Sacramento. The problem is too many organizations (read that as "political contributors") use them for fundraisers. It's an easy way to make money, except when they get ripped off overnight and end up with a $5000 loss.

I suspect the guy who lost his house to a bottle rocket this morning agrees with me about banning them. Probably the high school footbal player who blew his thumb off does too.

Way too smokey (cough cough) for this weed

Huge clouds of stinky grey drifting through the neighorhoods night air.....always so pleasant (rubs burning eyes)

 

[Guest]

Liked them and used them when I was young, now am rather against them for the reasons mentioned.

Plus my dog hates them, and all my dogs through my life have hated them.

Well crap, once the guy lost his house why didn't the HS football player go easy on him? Bad enough to have to deal with insurance and rebuilding, and now some punk maims him? Talk about adding injury to insult...

[Rhys]

oh...


you were talking about *those* kind of fireworks...

 

[LukkyKnight]

OMG Knight..............

such a bad joke.......
but what I am wondering is......

why did I laugh out loud?

Just wait 'til I find that dangling participle...

 

[u2slow13]

Its crowded as hell at the bay.

But, all along the embarcadero, you can park and sit in the car and watch the fireworks.

park where? That's been gone since yesterday but oh well...but it's so much more fun to go to the top of the hill to watch and see who rolls down first

 

[WriterDom]

Can't buy em in GA but SC is only 5 miles away. We were dangerous as hell as kids. We used to have bottle rocket wars. No one ever got seriously hurt, but I did work with a guy who lost his 20/20 vision because of fireworks.

I don't know if you can still get M-80s. I think that's what we called them. They could blow your whole hand off.

I'd like to see all states ban them.

Siren, the ONLY way to watch them is with children - which is why I'm here. I've never spent a dime on the take-home variety, but when my kid is here I wouldn't miss them for all the tea in Boston Harbor.
