Hmmm.  I think I can wait till I get home to light mine.

Actually I don\'t really buy any.  My neighbors all spend hundreds of dollars, so the ones I am willing to buy look like friggen bang caps comapred to them.

Oh, back to the dead kid in the story.  Another instance of God weeding out the stupid people.

ANyone find it funny (For lack of a better term) that Mr. Walker died on Walker St.?

Fireworks are illegal here in az unless done by a pyrotechnician even the sparklers are outlawed I think its crap my silly wife thinks it has something to do with the fact we live in a desert and all the vegetation is so dry that muffler exhaust could light it. I dont know what wrong with her must have been all that stuff she learned in college that messed her up.

There\'s another one in Australia, two men were throwing firecrackers out of their car until a cigarrette amber lit one in the back of their car. Explosions and fire while driving! HOT.....DAMN! One of them died.

Darwin...you\'ll rue this day! *shakes fist in air*

I think fireworks are illegal here in NJ except for a couple but I\'m not sure about the firework regulations. I have a desk full of sparklers.

Fireworks are illegal here as well unless you are a farmer scaring birds away.  

So they just hand you a sheet with like a list of 3 exceptions, one being a farmer, and you just sign it and check which one you are doing.

Fireworks are such a freaking waste of money.  I just buy the El Cheapos to have fun with Logan.  I can\'t imagine spending 10 bucks on a thing that goes up in the air and sparkles for 2.3 seconds.

We used to shoot off the cheap stuff like bottlerockets and sparklers and some firecrackers with my grandfather. He bought some really cheap bottlerockets that didn\'t go bang once. We decided to scare my grandmother by shooting them over the pool. The next morning, there were little bottlerockets floating in it. Good times :)

This guy is crazy. \'Crack\'s me up sometimes.

I never really got into fireworks. I have friends that like the rockets and shoot them at eachother. F***ing morons. I never got that thrill from lighting something and watching it to crazy shit. I mean ive enjoyed it a couple times and ive had illegal fireworks but id never get as hyped up over them.

Stupid kids

I mean the guy ran into a light post. I know you cant really help it in that situation but damn. heh

And tell me: How could the guy NOT get out of the car? The firework went off in the back. Stupid ass.

Every year we have a BBQ and party at my house and blow up like 65 bucks worth of stuff.  It happens once a year -- we liken it to something to have fun with kinda like a Christmas tree.  It shines one day out of the year and then that\'s it, but both are expensive but apart enough not to really worry about.  It\'s nice too since my city is one of the very fewin the area where you can do it.
