Did you buy fireworks for the 4th?

[PILMAN]

Well I might have gotten mine slightly early. Bought a few mortar kits (can't have a 4th without mortars :-D ) some are triple breaks. Got 2 of the big mortar kits which are automatic 25-50 shots for grand finales, 2 large bottle rocket kits (8 rockets), and some smoke bombs.

i have a friend with a gross of roman candles:)

[Aerosoul]

i've alway got fireworks....
we spend quite a bit of money on them each year for the 4th.

[kaspur_eh]

i only have little stuff... firecrackers, about 300 bottlerockets, and who knows what else...

its funny... back in the bay area they wouldnt sell them, but here in central oregon and the height of fire season, they are all over! p-)

[Redguy]

I have a few.. but i usually just do stupid things with other flammable objects.

[Hot Lips]

I blew the corner of my little finger off with an M80. Or rather, someone threw it at my feet and the gravel the shot up did.

It's all fun and games till someone's mom freaks out.

[Caesar]

Be careful with those. 3 houses burned last night because of fireworks during the festivities of St-Jean Baptiste... Can't be too cautious.

[east coast shooter]

Its all fun and games till somone gets hurt, then its a sport :)
Fireworks are no fun without gas or lgither fluid etc anything will go up with a bigger booooommmm

[evanfitz]

might get a few, but the real show is from Lake Winnie (theme park), thats less than mile from where I live.

They shoot off some really big fireworks! sound like cannons firing off.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who treat fireworks like they are a toy. I've always been aware of the risks and generally look towards safety as I prefer to keep my limbs intact as well as those watching around us. I've had a few friends in the past who think it's funny to stick the mortar shells in backwards, they weren't laughing when they had a chunk of the tube sticking in their elbow. I've watched and learned.

[GeraldDuval]

of course I did... I bought 500 of these:

Best fireworks ever!

It's all fun and games until a firework explodes in your nether region.

Double just about everything here.

I've got a few things saved up from a trip through New Mexico a couple years ago. Our firework laws here in Oregon suck. If the state had anything to say about it, I'd be walking around my front yard with a sprinkler like the special olympics torch barrer. I want to celebrate my country like a true American, by blowing up a small piece of it!

[Eat a bullet]

I plan to be here for the 4th http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=47.487049~-123.597565&style=h&lvl=11 so there will be no explosions near me, hopefully.

I lost my love for Fireworks years ago.

[ZaakM433]

It sucks, I always get a lot of fireworks and have ALOT of fun over the 4th, but this 4th Im in the city and an another state. I wont be able to do anything.

:(

I remember about seven years ago my father bought about 200 dollars worth of fireworks, and my grandpa bought atleast 200 dollars worth of fireworks. Then two neighbors bought considerable amounts of fireworks as well.

We basically blocked off the street and atleast 5 families participated in the festivities. Probably around a thousand dollars or more worth of firecrackers. That was a good fourth of july.

[Rammy]

That stuff's illegal here in Canada, but at least we have Canadian flags and whistles for the first :-(

They blew 4 houses? WTF? What happened?

Anyways going to my mothers boyfriends house to blow them off, he has a house off the sound here so we'd be launching them off the beach (it's private). Of course I can't say artillery shells are too good for the water due to the chemicals but no matter where I launch them someones bound to complain =/

Fireworks are for pussies. C4 pellets are for real men.

They banned BEER? What the **** are they thinking? Now, I don't drink, but seriously wtf?

Pennsylvania has crap fireworks laws too..

I've spent the last two New Years in Frankfurt, Germany - GREAT fireworks there!!

Heh. Ever notice there's a fireworks store and nearly every exit/entrance to the state? I'm often tempted to stop in.

[Macs.]

If we stopped buying fireworks and would spend that money on medical support for poor nations, millions and millions people would die less each year.












BUT I LOVE FIREWORKS !!!

I BUY EVERYTHING, I DON'T CARE, BUT IT HAS TO MAKE BOOM !!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM !!!!!!!

YEAH BABY, I ESPECIALLY DIG THAT STUFF FROM EAST-EUROPE !!!!!!!! HHHHAAAAAAAAAAA BOOOOMMMM

[Hot Lips]

I like pretty sparkly colors in the sky. I dig laying on a blanket under the night sky and looking up at them.

[Aerosoul]

i always go to my country club to see thiers, and then go swimming for a while. which is cool cause its so dark and then they have cool lights on for the 4th.

then i come home, or go out and shoot lots more of my own fireworks.

[tyovan]

Are you from PA too?

[Hot Lips]

I might be. ;) I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. Or at least, break your heart.

[tyovan]

I already have an older girlfriend - a 31 year old doctor .. unfortunately from Russia

[GeraldDuval]

You PA boys should come down to Delaware or Maryland. There's a huge fireworks stand on the border between Elkton and Newark...

[TuNeRsHaRk]

mortars are so much fun

i havent stashed up yet, but the local fireworks place(not those cheesy tents) usually has a buy one get one for 99c thing goin

[sucker4gurls]

We have to go to Missouri to get fireworks.... Usually they have a large selection too so....

Please tell me I wasn't included in "you pa boys"... p-)

[LaoSexMachine]

I'm going to shoot my .45 in the air Allah akbar style.

[Aerosoul]

fireworks stands are already getting robbed round here....
of course, when the attendant falls asleep it's kinda expected to happen.

[Bob Lawbla]

Fireworks are a No Go in Denver.

I usually take the whole fam damily to the Rapids game at Mile High and watch the Fireworks show afterwards.

[Ria]

I'll be in Jersey at that time so we'll probably be able to see the big fireworks they shoot off in NY. It's always a pretty show. :)

[gaz]

Will you guys just be off work on July 4th or do you take the day after off as well?

[CPLHUNTER]

I have some fireworks, M80's, bottle rockets, etc. But last time I set this stuff off in my apt complex, they got a little pissed off.

My nutcase friend got drunk and started shooting bottle rockets at the apt buildings across the lake...not a good idea.

I'll be staying low key this 4th. Besides Louisville has a pretty tight fireworks show.

They set off tons of fireworks on bridges over the Ohio and on barges and ships in the river

[CPLHUNTER]

Will you guys just be off work on July 4th or do you take the day after off as well?

Depends on how much booze I take in. :)

I'll probably play it safe and take the 5th off as well

[pAt]

i love fireworks just not with my stupid friends who almost got my caught last year blowing up some guys mail box and setting off roman candles after pounding on their door...

[ed316]

Bought enough to level a house. *FBI listening in*

[gaz]

So the fifth isn't actually a public holiday? It's just that I deal with people in States for my job and whenever they have a day off it's a right pain in the arse.

Nope just the 4th. Do you have some kind of holiday like the 4th?

[gaz]

There's not really an equivalent but we do have November 5th where we bang out the fireworks. It's essentially a traditional "Burn a Catholic" night.

[kaspur_eh]

What the hell...

I just went to a huge TNT fireworks tent in the Fred Meyer parking lot with my brother and what do I find.... absolutely nothing!

Apparently anything that is propelled into the air is illegal?!

No mortars, roman candles, even bottlerockets :(

I ended up just buy a s*** load of ground flowers (you can get creative with em) and a few fountains (read: boring)...

Oh well, still got about 200 bottlerockets from last year p-)
