The music made it that much better. I knew something was coming but I didn't expect the guy to get blasted into the wall.
"A little too much magnesium I guess, I won't do that again"
He missed a Darwin by thissss much.
Soldier, god, whatever. The point is, he was better than all of us. In every single way.
And I don't make eye-contact. Ever. It could lead to things. Things...
I'm reading my way through every presidential bio I can get my hands on. That is one of the best yet.
As to Flag Boy, may he wave.

Looks like he is wearing a different t-shirt after the explosion. Real or fake, still funny as hell.
You win best 4th of July post !
We have a neighbor a couple of blocks up the beach who pays a fireworks company to come and do a display. It's maybe 3 blocks away. The explosions are a little bit smaller than the city's, but they are much closer to the ground, which makes them seem so much bigger. He does his, and they finish about 5 minutes before the city's about 2 miles up the beach. The city's are almost anticlimactic after the neighbor's. The city's were postponed to tomorrow, due to the hurricane uncertainties. Getting ready to hit the beach with the little one right now. Last year he was out of town on the 4th but paid to have the fireworks done anyway. Awesome neighbor!
Yeah, and I noticed that right after the explosion the light magically came on. Maybe the video was edited.
Yeah looks that way, still made me choke laughing though. You found a good one no matter what.
Guys there were guns too!Got smashed and ate 30 wings last night, followed by some $$$ cigars my friend got from his dead grandpa. Headed out for a redneck 4th celebration (random camper in the woods north of Butler for those familiar, so you know it's legit). (Cheap) Beer, mud, fireworks, probably stop and get greasy fair food. **** yeah America!
I work at 6am tomorrow.
I feared for the worse when he was listing his ingredients, he didn't sound real sure of himself. I'm sure he crapped his pants good.
Cooked a bunch of dead animals - 15 people. 16 burgers, 16 brats, 20 chicken drums, a small pork loin. Baked potatoes, veggies, blah, blah. Way too much beer for the cook(me) - the wife and I got into a brief f-u but then we reeled it back down.
The bold part sounds interesting.
Next time you and the wife have words, show her my picture. She'll throw her arms around you.
^I guess I did word that funny. She always gets stressed out - heck I cook 95% of the food, all she needs to do is stay the &*(^ out of my way. She must have forgiven me or forgotten, I got more than arms thrown around me after people left.
Great day - bonfire, people playing frisbee, little kids running through a sprinkler, dogs running around everybody, great fireworks from our "highest point for a few miles" location.
Day before we had moved my daughter and I drove the truck. So we had to drive together in wife's car back home. You know you live in the country when your wife asks you if you saw the dead deer about a mile away from the house and then you have a brief back/forth about how fresh it looked. It's like CSI Back-Country- "I think this here deer's been dead for 4 hours". "Naw, couldn't be a hair over 3, the tummy ain't even puffing up yet and the sun's been up fer 2."

Well, it's over. Everyone make it through ok ? All fingers and toes accounted for ?
Happy Survivors Day !

I'm proud to be A Merkin today! Beach vacation, kiddos and sandcastles, burgers and dogs, fireworks, beer.
Happy birthday to the most generous and most awesome country on earth.
And thank you US Armed Forces, for your service.

A few years ago, my wife and I got in the car in Philadelphia at around sundown on July 4th and drove to Baltimore down I-95, watching hours of continuous fireworks from the highway the entire way. It was pretty remarkable.
The last time I saw a Merkin was in that HBO series Vinyl.
I bought Budweiser today, just because of the snazzy labeling:
