SO FUCKing BORing.

Sparklers, snakes, flowers, fountains, etc... (yawn)... California is a lovely place, but it would be lovelier still with mortars, M-80's, roman candles and big-ass bottle rockets.

Look, it's a bar for snoozing 70 year olds.

in arizona we couldn't even buy sparklers. It was snakes or snap n pops, that's it. For such a gun-happy state this always struck me as odd.

So its legal to own a gun but not buy a roman candle? Priorities!

Having had to deal with 3 major brush fires in my lifetime (including one that burned down over 100 homes in my neighborhood) I can quite happily live without fireworks of any sort.

Those poppers that look like sperm paper that POP when you throw them on the ground are okay. Otherwise, gimme bottle rockets.

But if California ever gets in a roman candle fight with Missouri, we'll be outgunned! I declare a new Interstate arms race!

We had an incident at my old house (site of frequent aerial assaults) where an errant rocket entered a neighbor's open window and scorched her sofa. She was nice about it, but asked that it not happen again.

The best part about going to a state where really cool fireworks are legal (like Indiana) are the bagged sets, with ridiculous names like "THE ALL AMERICAN SET" that has like 800 bottle rockets and a couple of those small tube things that shoot fireballs into the air. Goddamn, I want to be back out in the midwest.

haha now that i think about it, i'm not sure where those fireworks came from

We went to a superstore in Indiana once and the biggest assortment box they had was called "Armaggeddon" and had like 1,000 pieces, including a four-foot mortar tube. Drool-worthy.

The only place that has better fireworks than South Carolina is Tennessee. My mother's ex lived in SC and he once came down here with a whole slough of fireworks from his state for Independence Day and we set them off on the golf course behind my flat. Good times...beat the hell out of the celebration at Tom Brown Park that they hold every year -- mainly because we didn't have modern country music!

When I was a kid, I used to run a fireworks stand! It was awesome. We had a lot left over after the Fourth passed, so I had bottle rockets on hand at all times from when I was ten to when I was seventeen.

My sister liked the chickens that laid fiery eggs. I teased her about those back then, but now, I think that I'd like a pack of those.

That man should've never tried smoking a cigar through his leg like that.
