Time to go to a BBQ, watch some fireworks, and then watch some more fireworks.

Have a fun and safe day. Yea don't do anything stupid like holding bottle rockets with your mouth. :P

Light cherry bombs and then clench them in your fists!

(this is species control guys, if you're dumb enough to do that, then you deserve to lose your hand)

YEAH! 4th of July!

Have fun and stay safe...I'd hate to see any of you in a "Jackass" movie or, worse yet, the "Darwin Awards".

Happy Independance Day, US players!

I've met the woman that wrote the Darwin Awards, she was up here reading some of them and promoting a book last winter, went down and met her...got some Darwin Awards books REALLY cheap, like 75% off

Heh, I passed by the Esplanade as I was coming home from the AZ in Harvard Square. It was insanely crowded... I just stayed home and watched the Twilight Zone marathon... :D

OH man I had the greatest time, I lit a kerosene soaked tampon in many orifices. Oh damn, when those things blowup, THEY BLOW UP. It was fun. :P

I lit some bottle rockets, and some state legal crap, we had a really big one that fires in 3 directions at once and finishes with a huge sparkly ending. Twas fun except for all the june bugs that flew in my face, and one that hooked on to the side of my neck...didn't feel good rubbing it off. (/me jitters)

Yeah, if you're going to spew bullshit, make sure it's believeable. Kero does not explode.

wow, how many people noticed that a lot of americans seem to use the 4th as an excuse to get drunk and make idiots out of themeselves? It's so nice to know that the day of american indepedence has become a major point of beer sales...yay...

Right, Pyro. That's what St. Patricks Day is for.

Boobs and beer, tha's the way to go!

Just kidding.

The hill where the fireworks show we watch "traditionally" catches fire every year on the Fourth due to the fireworks. And it didn't this year. I'm saddened.

aeternalis, sounds like you have to take initiative! Light the hill yourself!

Forest Fire anyone?

Okay, here's something kind of funny...

The American holidays...

St. Patricks (Drinking Holiday)
Cinco De Mayo (Drinking Holiday)
Super Bowl Sunday* (Drinking Holiday)
Independence Day (Drinking Holiday)

hmmm...I have money that Easter or Thanksgiving is next...

*- Don't ask, my friends are all yelling at me that Super Bowl Sunday is a holiday so Im doing it to shut them up....although, it is kinda a holiday

I feel I should point out that:

St. Patrick's is an Irish tradition
Cinco De Mayo is a Mexican tradition

Thanksgiving IS a drinking holiday.
Jul 06, 2004 Pyroman_Ace link
Whoa, FM made my point when I forgot to make it...

Alright, firstly all you rabid patriots out there, I am a proud american, but do we have to adopt all these holidays and then wreck them?

lol, FM, alright, so add Thanksgiving to the shot outta the sky list...
Jul 06, 2004 Hoax link
Wreck them? Oh yeah sure, the forefathers never got blasted and made fools of themselves, everything was all proper and stuff back in the days...

Anywayz it's not the holidays themselves, it's being forced to socialize with your family that requires the booze. I suspect this has been true for thousands of years and as many holidays.
Jul 06, 2004 Pyroman_Ace link
Hoax, I think you just explained one of the mysteries of the universe...really, I do...


And I agree, you need heavy narcotics to socialize with most members of your family...
