    that's about what happens when you have a firework premature detonation or malfunction

    it happened to us two years ago when the artillery shell launcher tipped over and sent the artillery shell in the ditch we were using

    I love that he manages an "Oh shit" just before things take a turn

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

    "Bonfire Night"?

    why is it not called Guy Fawkes' anymore?

    Probably because most people attending the celebrations care about Guy Fawkes about 2% of the amount they care about burning shit and blowing things up. And the effigies thing doesn't seem to be done much any more.

    A 10-year-old boy had part of his finger blown off when a firework exploded at a house in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

    The boy's index finger was injured and and his thumb was split while playing with a firework at the house on Glebe Street, Offerton.

    Fire crews seized fireworks, which they believe to be illegal, after arriving at the address at 17:32 BST on Monday.

    A fire service spokesman warned against misusing fireworks.

    Danger, danger!

    Argh. We can probably expect at least three more stories, all about worse injuries, to say nothing of incidents that don't even make the local news

    Looks like a rehearsel for New Year's. Always a couple people losing bits due to fireworks.

    Every holiday is a buildup to New Year's.

    The only day when the whole world explodes in a crackling wave from East to West.

    I wonder if we could set up enough fireworks on the East coast to make a giant hand waving at Europe.

    In return, we'll stop raiding never raid your cattle across the border.

    I apologize, as I spoke too soon.

    It just so happens that every county/state I have lived/been assigned to/in has bans, so via my perspective I've always seen strict limitations on fireworks. I was not aware of this until I looked at state/county regs.

    So yeah, i'm an idiot moving on. (Also the places I have lived apparently suck dick)

    Break the law to blow shit up

    It's the American way

    I'm actually glad fireworks are outlawed here
    Because it means an abundance of gigantic displays put on by professional organizations

    When I was touring china about three weeks in I was wandering around a city with someone else on my tour when I suddenly stopped and went, "I an in China the country that invented fireworks." I explained this to the guy I was with and we decided it was our mission to make some stuff explode.

    I ask the guide what the for fireworks is in Chinese and she asks why and I say that we want to buy some. Completely happy with our explanation she takes us literally to a store not four meters and we buy some and proceed to set them off in the middle of the street.

    well on one hand, I am a huge fan of lighting things on fire

    but on the other hand, I don't think the british have a reason to celebrate anything (i mean, they chose to stay there instead of going to America)

    yet on the other hand I do like the idea of a holiday based on burning a terroist in effigy

    but still on another hand he was a british terrorist and predictably he didn't even terrorize correctly

    oh and fyi I am goro

    Hey here's an idea. How about grabbing a fist full of your pubes and yanking them?

    Are you comparing the two experiences?

    Because I'd probably prefer the pube yanking to watching that shit movie again.

    Technically, weren't all the people waging the war of American independence British terrorists?

    Depends on your definition of terrorist

    The guys who dragged city tax collectors into the street and poured boiling tar on them? Yes, probably

    The civic representatives of each state who came together and sent a letter to the king declaring Independence and forming a militia to engage in combat with British troops?
    Probably not
