Firecrackers

It really really sucks that VA only can sell the crappy ones. Only ones that are basically overrated sparklers. I miss going to the nearest stand and picking up some bottle rockets.
I want my fireworks to blow up a good chunk of sidewalk. No sissy roman candles for me.

We have waaay too many fireworks stands in my town. The family that owns TNT Fireworks lives here. They used to have about five stands in the whole county but I would estimate there's at least 30 now. They all sell the exact same TNT fireworks at the exact same price. I've seen two Black Cat fireworks stands and one other unidentified one. I'll probably buy mine from one of those so I can get a little variety and because the TNT people are bazillionaires anyway.

The number of fireworks stands here in town have almost doubled this year! I can't believe how many of those damn things are popping up everywhere. I used to think (back when blowing up my GI Joe's and Ninja Turtles every year was hella fun) that fireworks were the shit, but these days I'm just kind of "meh" about them. Plus, I'm kind of pissed off that I blew up so many cool toys.

When it comes to fireworks... thank God for Mississippi. I don't know if they're illegal or not here... but damn are they easy to find.

See we don't have any that blow up. They are all banned here. Just because a few numb-nuts blew up their hands means we just get ones that shoot a few sparks. A million differant variations and names but do pretty much exactly the same thing.

Fireworks stands?!?!? Holy shit you guys got it good. Last few years it's been impossible to get fireworks in NYC- Guiliani cracked down on it hardcore. This year looks like it's going to be better, kids are already setting off bottle rockets and m80s in the streets. I've got a few things myself....can't wait for the 4th.

Mass-fireworks are great, but what usually makes me hate fireworks altogether are morons shooting them off from their backyard.

When you live around a lot of trees like I do, this CAN'T be the brightest idea, right?

I am cool with fireworks, though they don't really do anything for me anymore. All of them seem to look pretty much the same.

Anyway, I do dislike it when there are large firworks displays [b]two weeks[b] before the 4th. I spent last Saturday evening after a long day of work trying to over power the sound of some fucking firworks display for about an hour. Could we please keep the major fireworks displays limited to 1-2 days before and after the 4th of July?

Try living in the desert with dry brush everywhere. Every 4th you can pretty much count on a handful of fires being started in the city thanks to idiots firing off fireworks in the wrong parts. Of course, you can also count on our redneck and gang populations firing weapons into the air and at least one person being killed due to that mysterious bitch 'gravity'.

I knew a guy who had taken some ecstasy and dropped some acid, and decided that the best thing to do in his hallucinatory trance was play with fireworks. Well, after setting off a roman candle, and having the majority of the balls shoot off, he held the firework up to his eye and looked down the shaft... just, ya know... to see if it was empty yet.

One huge hospital trip, some reconstructive surgery and one missing eye later, he made the front page of the newspaper and will forever be known as one of the dumbest individuals I've had the honour of knowing.

Fireworks are fun.
Drugs are fun.
Drugs + Fireworks = too much fun.
