Fourth of July Thoughts...from a grumpy old man
Just got back from watching a local small town Fireworks show. Some thoughts:
Why do people bring dogs to fireworks shows? Dogs HATE fireworks. All they do is growl and bark the whole time. It's not fun for the dog, or for the people sitting around the stupid people who brought their dog. Leave Fido at home. He can do without the loud noises. Why do people bring toddlers to fireworks shows? See comments about dogs, same applies to little kids. They HATE the loud noises and they just scream and cry the whole time. Wait till your kids are old enough to understand what is going on. Otherwise, it's trauma for the kid, and a drag for everyone sitting around you. Bring a chair that folds up quickly. Some of those camp chairs take ten minutes to get out of the bag, and 20 minutes to put back into the bag. Bring something simple, like a good old fashion blanket, or a old fashion nylon and aluminum folding lawn chair. Also, why do people who can least afford to blow money always seem to have hundreds of dollars worth of bottle rockets, whizzing screamers and fountains? Oh sure, they have a 30 pack of Keystone and a carton of Generic Cigarettes, but won't be able to pay the light bill when it comes due on July 15th. Mostly because they blew the light bill on bottle rockets. Just go to your local fireworks show, and save your money. God Bless America! |

I'd like to shove an M-80 up Scooter's butt.
Nothing like celebrating your independence from a tyrant with a little BANG

I wouldn't be surprised if they started taking Foodstamps at fireworks stands.

Dogs and toddlers fought in the revolution, too.

Oh, and these other people just talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and NEVER SHUT UP ONCE during the entire 45 minute fireworks show. Rude as hell, and they brought their dog and a couple toddlers.
I was hoping a stray shell would hit them, but no dice. |

Oh say can you see
in the fireworks' light Why the toddlers all wailed And the kids were all screaming The dogs are all barking And all howling in fright O'er the crying we watched And were silently steaming. And the chatters' loud blare Conversation in air Gave proof through the night That the jerks were still there O say does that star-spangled banner yet flow, O'er the land of the rude and the home of the slow.

Yeah, I've never understood buying a bunch of fireworks. You're basically setting your money on fire.
