Happy 4th of July

"To me, this is a great way to celebrate being an American," said Cheryl Flores, 37, watching a Labrador jump through a hula hoop on the stage, while her daughter, Sally, 5, sipped a frozen yogurt drink.

lit my first firework ever yesterday. Kind of shot at a car by accident. I had never seen a roman candle, and i thought it was going to be... a lot smaller of a display than it was.


Cheap Chinese fireworks from a stand that prominently advertised "WE DON'T CHECK ID."

Proof that male children lack a frontal lobe with executive thinking: when I was 12, one of the neighbor kids got a couple dozen Roman candles and enlisted me for Roman Candle Wars with four other guys. We ran around the local elementary school firing at one another in a three-on-three match of stupidity.  Singed hair and clothing, but in hindsight, we're fortunate no-one caught one in the face.

if one does not explore his limits, how will he know them?

Yeah.

We had "Mike War" where my brother and our friends would line up with a bunch of roman candles and bottle rockets with the charges cut off and jumping jacks and I would have goggles and my hair wet down and a saucer sled painted up as Captain America's shield and...

Yeah. They would try to hit me with fireworks and I would try to protect myself and occasionally deflect their fireworks back at them.

I have a few small scars on my knees and other than that, my massive problems have nothing to do with the Mike Wars.

That is by far the coolest 4th tradition ever.

my mom always talks about her neighbors, who would put a bucket over their little brother's head, wrap him in a blanket, and point him into the forest.
RUN ANDRE, RUN.

then they would shoot at him with bb guns as he ran along hitting trees.

On Fourth of July, when I was living in an apartment complex with all of the college's hippies, hipsters and drug addicts, we all took a lot of xanax and pain pills and got really drunk (I'm sure some were on shrooms instead) and got in a huge bottle rocket fight with our neighbors over the fence.  Seemed, and still seems, like a perfectly cromulent idea to me.

The best part of that night was one dude had his mom visiting.  He was friends with everyone and as into getting fucked up.  This guy is trying to act straight in front of a small apartment complex, literally maybe two out of 26 apartments were not into as getting fucked up as possible, full of the most druged up crazies this woman has seen in like 25 years.  Is was pretty boss.

Was this a fourth of July thing or just, you know, Tuesday?
