TODAY (actually Monday) WE CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY [4th of July thread]

That's right, folks! Monday is the Fourth of July and that means it's time to celebrate the birth of our nation in the only way that seems appropriate; by acting irresponsibly while fiddling around with dangerous explosive devices.

The fourth means a lot to us, and lots of folks celebrate differently. For some, it's a day of somber introspection on the nature of freedom and the costs associated with maintaining it. For others, it's a time to grill some hotdogs and burgers or barbecue a rack of ribs, tip back a few bottles of suds with family and friends and maybe lose a few digits afterwards.



That there is how we do things in Wyoming. Those packages are illegal in almost every state, including the surrounding states which is why everyone travels here to get them.

I spent like two hundred dollars on fireworks this year. But it's cool because my friend Crazy Connor works at the fireworks stand so he hooked it uuuuuup, that's like five hundred bucks worth of boom up there. I love that wacky little dude.

How do you intend to celebrate this year, my fellow Americans?

    I used to drive down to the Couer D'Alene Reservation to get the "good" fireworks but we don't have the lake cabin anymore and anyway I'm getting to old to play with fireworks.

    As is my family's 4th of July tradition, on the Saturday closest to the 4th we go to a big charity salmon barbecue and have a huge delicious piece of barbecued salmon and garlic bread and corn on the cob. It was delicious as usual. And after nightfall in a few hours, big fireworks show at sea just outside the harbor!

    Went out to the river to watch fireworks.
    It was a cool 72 degrees, and the bands they had playing out there were actually pretty good.
    Oh and the Fireworks Barges and crew put on a good show.
    It was a nice evening!

    this is the first year I've been around a dog on the fireworks night, she is a little alarmed but not cowering like she was during the big thunderstorms yet, at least

    My dogs can't stand to be more than a few feet from me right now, much-less being outside. I also haven't had a good night's sleep since last week

    I hate the 4th because it's all people thanking me for my service, which I hate, for reasons, and fireworks tend to put me in alert mode because PTSD. And I'm closing on the 4th too so yay $50 an hour for working the holiday, boo dealing with partiers while assholes set off fireworks outside the store.

  • BucketmanBucketman Call me SkraggRegistered User regular
    I have to work, which sucks because its the third holiday in a row and it would be nice to see my god damn family. And while I will be making $20 an hour...that doesn't really feel like enough.

    Also I don't feel like cooking, thankfully theres a greek place in town that will be open. INDEPENDENCE GYROS!

    Here in South Philly, people have been setting off fireworks from various street corners all weekend. It's pretty awesome.

    Also me and some friends are grilling on the roof of my apartment on Monday, then watching the big fireworks from said roof.

    It's gonna be rad.

    I've been awake for two hours and have had 6 cocktails.

    My friends are going to go hiking.

    I'm going to stay back and read Roger Stern's novelization of The Death of Superman.

    For America...

    I've got the fourth off. But I have to work today. Which sucks, having a work day in the middle of what would otherwise be a four day weekend.
    But, my boss said I could work from home, which means I keep my work email open in another tab while I'm watching SGDQ and foruming.

    Already had one case come in which I took care of.

    Despite not having anywhere to keep said grill between using it.

    I'm taking care of Weaver so things will be quiet in our home.

    However, my name is Liberty.

    I really want a grill but the only place to use it is indoors and that's a dumb idea. :(

    I have neither pets nor loud fireworks. I'm going out to play drums in Newport RI tonight, and tomorrow I plan on lighting a small fire in the chiminea and finishing off the small pile of firewood in the back yard while I sip some homebrew. I have a package of sparklers leftover from last year so I'll probably use them up.
