Congrats, Normie...You win! lol
Hubby works every day except Christmas and Thanksgiving so unless he gets out real early we won't be doing the big BBQ thing but we'll be going into the next town for their killer fireworks display. 😀 Hope everyone here has fun!
And for those outside the US...I hope you have fun too on this totally ordinary Monday. 😛

I saw one of those specials on tv warning you about the dangers of illegal fireworks and fireworks in general and stressing safety. And they used adult-sized test dummies as targets to show the actual damage firecrackers and such can do.

I think any real adult stupid enough to hold a firecracker that long after lighting it deserves to get their hand blown off! 😛

Yeah, like a real person is going to attach one to their groin too (as was done in the test). 😛

They can't even inact plausible irresponsibility. And for those people that WOULD actually do that, I won't even talk about you. 😛

Oh, and happy Independance Day. Don't let the looming alien battleships discourage you. We couldn't very well be "independant" if we couldn't deal with them. Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith will save us soon enough...oh...and a drunkard too. 😉 😛

luckily 2 years ago i bought a huge surplus of m-80's, bottlerockets, and cherry bombs, just in case they were to ban anything.

so i'm gonna have loads of fun blowing things up like a kid again.

ah yes, from predator, great movie. same here, those fireworks are illegal i believe. so i'm set to blow things up.

one thing i love to do is buy those cheap wooden airplanes from hobby stores, tape bottle rockets to the wings and launch them outta my mailbox, those things are fun, and they go really far.

Groin injuries generally occur when yahoos drive around town flinging fireworks out of their car windows. They hold them over their laps as they light them and if a mishap occurs...well, you get the picture. I heard of one joker riding shotgun who lit a firecracker and tried to toss it out without rolling the window down first. It caromed off the glass and landed between his legs. If such things happened more often, the population would probably benefit from such morons' inability to reproduce afterwards.

i experiment, load up double or triple rockets, race em down streets, im so tempted to try and light some artillery off minus the tube but my mum adamantly refuses

comeon, 1 3\4 inch and 44 mm balls of gunpowder cant hurt..lol

True. If stupidity truely can be passed down to your children then its really something to consider.

 

[BigNorm]

it's not going so well for me. it's constantly raining heavily now, causing flash flooding, and no fireworks and no bar-b-ques.

Hiya 😎

Well, i started a "happy 1 July" thread which no one responded to, *sniff sniff* So it seemed at least fair to say a warm "hello" to all the Americans on the forum! *hugs all round!*

I really hope your holiday was a special one! 🙂 I hear it's a day for families to get together. If so my hope is you had the chance to be with loved ones even if it could only be in spirit. 😉

Many blessings, and many happy returns to you, USA! 🙂

 

[Goodieluver]

sorry for the rain norm, it started pourin a half hour before my scheduled attack on the skies, thankfully it ended and my performance began, heh got hit with some plastic shrapnel after the stuff detonated

and thanx for the wishes chickles, hopefully your day was as good as most of ours

 

[vmandude1]

happy 4th to every1, had some fun watching my neighbors stupidly catch thier front lawn on fire, lmao. check ur PMs Chickles

 

[MistressValerie1]

Best wishes to all 🙂 We had our Fourth yesterday due to the time zone difference, but it was too hot to do anything outdoors, even at night 🙁

 

[nessonite1]

I wanted to reply, Chickles, but history/world events isn't a strong point in the least for me so I didnt even know those were being celebrated. 😛 It felt wrong to act like I knew what was going on. 😛

 

[chickles_:)]

Hiya 😎

Thanks Ness, 🙂
God knows i fall short on a lot of key dates! 😱:redface:

Thanks to my personal background and family I just happen to know about July first being Reunification Day in Hong Kong and Dominion Day in Canada.

But there are a lot of special days for each country which i wish i knew better. :cyclopes:

Anyway, i really hope you had a fantastic celebration, Ness! And everybody.

 

[BigNorm]

well, it luckily stopped raining so i was able to do my fireworks, and i finished the night off with homemade pizza and chocolate chip cookies while watching the movie Sleepy Hollow in the dark.

 

[MistressValerie1]

On the Fourth, I invented a recipe for vegetable soup made from canned tomato sauce and leftovers. It was considerably better than I expected 😀

 

[chickles_:)]

Hiya 😎
Congratulations, Val, I'm sure soup recipe turned out wonderfully! 🙂
It sounds like so many people had a fantastic holidy! I'm really happy for you all! 😀

Many blessings,
