1. My favorite legal firework from yesterday's neighborhood gathering was the paper military helicopter that, when the fuse was lit, shot out sparks shaped like Vietnamese children and then spit a torrent of napalm style liquid fun on top of these sparks. Everybody enjoyed that.
2. I didn't get drunk, nor did I feel sullen this holiday. I've grown naturally numb and can live mostly drug free.
3. At the end of the festivities I held up the tube that launched the illegal fireworks and joked that I was now going to blast into the crowd in order to liven things up. Everybody laughed and laughed up until the point when the ambulances arrived.
4. We set the neighbor's house on fire as a finale. We'd done the same thing in another neighborhood last year, but now that Obama is president it simply felt cleaner and more sane to watch the neighbor lady's dog run in circles on her perfectly manicured front yard, yelping and emitting a foul smelling smoke, while the flames on her rooftop licked the sky. It was all very practical and smart really. |

Wow, you have all the fun!
Freedom's a good party, but I prefer your latter-day re-enactments. It's so much fun to watch the civil militias with their uzis and ak-47s get plowed over by M1A1s. One of these days we can hopefully all pool in for some "smart" missiles.

I'd contribute to that fund. By the way, you've got a feline on your shoulder!
I'm oddly reminded of Pratchett's "duck man".
So, just another ordinary 4th at the Lain house ...
