I forgot it was the Fourth and thought my Mexican neighbors were shooting each other again.

You know, that sounds so racist but when you actually do have Mexican neighbors who HAVE shot it out before it's actually not that bad at all.

Whoo. One pork shoulder, slow-smoked all day. $100 worth of illegal fireworks. 3 terrified cats. Half a bottle of Ketel One. A twelve-pack of Heinekins. Twilight Zone marathon in the background. The corpse of Jesse Helms.


It was a memorable 4th.

Man that sounds awesome, but how much did you pay the coroner to sneak Jesse Helms out for a few hours?

My Dad has connections in Raleigh. And it's amazing how much urine a corpse can absorb.

You know, since picking up that definitive Twilight Zone collection I can't watch the marathons anymore. The quality sucks and there's also a bunch of scenes cut out of every episode. Sucks when you know what you're missing. Plus, there's only so many times you can see commercials for whatever crappy Scifi channel show they're promoting that year.

CHRIST that bugs the shit out of me too. SciFi doesn't even bother to try and cover it up, there's just an abrupt CAMERA ANGLE AND DIALOGUE shift.

Same here. I also hate the fact that they showed the same episodes and since getting the box-set I was amazed at all the episodes they have never aired.

JudgeSmails, I just came back from the...Southampton 4th Of July Parade, it is quite awe-inspiring during it's 2 hours of...Patriotic Celebration. It is too bad that...The Piping Plover has cancelled the fireworks in Easthampton 4 of the last 5 years. There will be no fireworks as a result. Oh Well, Have a happy 4th of July.

Heading out later to a cookout at a friend's place. Plenty of food and enough fireworks to topple a South American revolutionary government.

Independence Day is usually good for a Darwin Award or three, or at least a gruesome cautionary tale. Nothing wrong with that.

Happy 4th, everyone! Eat, drink, and be merry. Even with all our warts and fuckups, this is still a wonderful country.

What the fuck?! While the 3rd pic kinda made me chuckle (a The Fly lost concept art?), the last one weirdly made me wanna fire up the barbecue myself*.

So Happy July 4th y'all America livingers-in and don't forget to crash Michael Bay's party down in Beverly Hills. Maybe you can even set some fireworks his way!!


* Oh, and kids, don't hide your firecrackers up where Butch's dad from Pulp Fiction hid the watch. Especially if they're already lit.

Took my girlfriend out for an early seafood dinner since she has to work the late shift today (more money for her, since it's a holiday, and she likes working holidays.)

May go see Drag Me To Hell again, this time taking my friend since he hasn't seen it yet.

I'm celebrating the only way I know, by blaring "America Fuck Yeah" and watching Bill Pullman's speech from ID4.


And to quote from Elwood Blues

We just got back from watching the fireworks. In the middle of the finale, a bunch of drunk kids about 50 feet behind us started singing that song. My wife felt it necessary to poke me in the ribs hard to 'discourage' me from joining in. The great part: a lot of the people around us got the joke and were laughing along with them; fuck the oblivious.

Saw the most horrible 4th of July show in recent memory...
Sheryl Crow for free in Philly...
She was higher than shit.
One encore... really one encore too many, actually.
Fireworks were late. Almost had to beat someone's ass on the train ride home. Watched "The Great Escape", and continued drinking during the moonshine scenes...

Pretty awesome!

great fourth of july! I did the most redneck thing I've ever done and went to a Mudracing Competition in Sanford, NC. The guys didn't wear shirts, many women didn't have teeth, and all alcohol was conveniently concealed by the magic of a coozie and brown paper bags.

That being said, My son had a complete blast (and so did the wife and I) watching these modified trucks and jeeps blast through the mud. That night we hiked it back up to the state fairgrounds in Raleigh for the firework show. All and all it was the best 4th I've had in a while.

I really enjoyed our President showing some love to the muppets and Big Bird singing a duet with some smoking hottie. Good times.

Jimmy Smits was absolutely loaded as well, and he appeared progressively drunker as the night wore on. I love that guy.

Went to a midnight showing of ID4 on Friday and went to a BBQ at a friend's place on Saturday.

As always, too much food. Lots of chips, cookies, macaroni salad, mac & cheese, kabobs, burgers, chicken, craisins, salsa, age of consent, Bruce Willis' new wife, should cleavage touch, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, TMNT for the NES...

... and of course, fireworks.

Look, I know times are tough for everyone, but if this nation can make stars out of Lady Gaga, Kei$ha, and Justin Bieber, then truly, anyone of us can be a success if we work hard enough. And that's some Horatio Alger-America is great type shit.

So enjoy the day. Don't stop believin'. Keep livin' on a prayer. Put your hands up. They're playin' our song. The butterflies fly away. Nod your head like yeah. Move your hips like yeah.

Today, it's a party in the USA.

ID4 is in the Blu-ray as we speak, with Jaws and The Patriot ready to go afterwards. Wife's working 'til midnight though, so I'll probably just stick my head outside later to catch some fireworks and that's about it.

Then, she's flashing the fucking peace sign while in such an outfit. It's like a giant "fuck you" to everyone who is capable of thinking.
