More celebrations this year. Are you going? Boycotting due to the recent supreme court decisions and don't like the direction of the Country? If you do celebrate, tag @THE HCP in any of your fireworks posts. He loves that. I'll be in Dallas, TX. Flying back on the night of the 4th tho. I'm not big into fireworks or any of this shit really. I do have a super cheese-ball american flag polo shirt with an eagle I like to bust out. But honestly, I don't give a fuck about America that much.
Fireworks are the worst. I hope they get banned for any homeowners because people are lame and give no fucks about anyone else. Too many close calls with fireworks shooting off onto peoples homes.
We hate them with a passion. Our neighborhood pops off for a week around every stupid holiday. We have 5 cats and 4 dogs, and they turn into frightened, panicked little terrors with the constant explosions. Fireworks can eat an armada of richards.
Pyromaniacs! I never understood how the end of the war should be celebrated by shooting and blowing shit up......should be music and laughter ...leave the bombs out of the celebration...have virtual light shows if you need spectacles like a Giant Concert but this shootin' up the bar wild west shit is played out in my view...bah humbug! There are two dog breeders in my neck of the woods and it's going to be a brutal night of howling whimpering animals . Good time to go fishing
boo! mmmm I hate the smell of gunpowder but man it goes back 10000 years in asian culture...it's in your blood bro
I went to chinese new year parade in Honolulu's Chinatown. Holy shit, that shit gave me permanent hearing loss I think.
I know my hearing is worse from living in Taipei....you never know when someone is opening a new shop until a 6ft tall firecracker dragon gets lit over your head....pyromaniacs I tell you..it happens for a birth, a death, a new business a marriage and every one of the twenty holidays they have...in other words...everyday
July 4th celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence, on July 4th, 1776. As you might guess, King George was not too amused. The war didn’t end until 1783.
I understand...I meant in an across the board general way...that when the war is won they shoot up the town...fire off guns....and fireworks .when they have a celebration of a popular event..they sure don't amuse me much. I know people love fireworks and parades and all, stock car races, etc....I go the opposite direction when those things happen if I have a choice. My grandson is at his first parade this weekend in Prineville with his other grandfather..and I think the rodeo. I'm like BB King singin'....the thrill is gone!
One summer with my best friend, we must have been 12 or 13 but my parents wanted this tree stump gone out of the backyard. I think my dad was offering us money if we could dig it out. Digging up a tree stump is hard and boring. But we wanted the money. So I remembered that I had 3 M80s. Them and a half a can of gas under the stump... The stump was still there but we had burned off whatever leg and arm hair we had grown to that point, cuts from the shrapnel of rocks that hit us, and every neighborhood dad for 2 blocks in our backyard wondering what the fuck that explosion was. Painful but epic.
Enjoy the big bangs! Sorry for the buzzkill! Just be safe...don't set the woods on fire....go to the beach at least!
knowing crazy King George he was probably talking to the imaginary parrot on his shoulder when he wrote that.
