Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....

Didn't get to see many explosions... in the absence of marshmallows, I have often toasted cheetos. They are no longer edible, but make impressive mini meteors.

Fascinating idea...

I almost missed the fireworks because of rain and work, so it took some serious ass hauling to get to Bel Air to catch them from outside a mall.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

There was a lightning storm this 4th, so my plans were bombed. Though my neighbors did try and make the most of it and tried their damnedest to have a good time, I did not expect that a roman candle fireball could survive all the way from his porch to mine going through a gauntlet of wind and water.

But lucky enough for us here in Utah we made a second day to blow things up, Pioneer Day. Much like how USA likes to celebrate it's birthday with blowing things up, so too does the 'Deep South of the Wild West'. Should be coming up on the 22nd this year.

Aye... they catch fire and then you can yell thing in tiny voices like "eeep..." and "we're all going to die..." and then crash them into the ground. And if that gets boring, then just catch them on fire... But how could that ever get boring??

Really, I am a lot of fun at cookouts.

When I ran out of marshmallows I discovered that if you toasted graham crackers... um... they got all black and inedible.

I'm more fun at campfires than people who swing flaming marshmallows at your face.

You ran through it? Was alcohol involved in any way?

In defense of sparklers, I would like to say that if used properly, they can make an effective tool to acquire your sibling’s smores. Simply recommend to your siblings that they should “hand over the smores” or they will be receiving a face full of sparks. The face-full-of-sparks can be substituted with face-full-of-roman-candle, but this method seems a lot less believable and usually only works on siblings 3yrs and below. And remember kids, Safety First.

I feel I should back up Abbey's defence of sparkers, as they're the only thing close to fireworks you can get here.

yes, though they may not launch little parachutes, explode when you through them at someones head, or do anything when you fix them to a fence...

they are a little window of shallow conselation that we hold dear and horde, lighting with tears in our eyes, in rememberance of a time which er... time forgot.

allthough i got a stash of late 80s fire works at home... one day i'll try them out.
