I never buy any, just let all the neighbors blow their money and I sit on the deck and enjoy and not risk losing a hand
who is buying fireworks
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
The no pics wife doesn't know it yet but I'm gonna spend all our savings on some cool fireworks and surprise her one of these nights with the show of a lifetime in our backyard.
For my dogs sake I hope everyone blows off their ******* hands. 4th of July for 2 hours, fine whatever. But this all summer long ******** has gotta stop.
get off my lawn
get off my lawn
I don't cheer for pain on others, but there is a special Schadenfreude for those who blow fingers off on July 5th or later.
Regarding fireworks vs. dogs:
I was thinking the other day about how I have to listen to the neighborhood dogs bark all year long, but the fireworks are for a couple of weeks at most. I think America can survive both sources of irritation. That is all.

If my neighbor's dogs are outside, they're barking. They're also are the worst offenders in the neighborhoods with fireworks. Lighting shid off at 11am during my kid's naptimes.
I get the worst of both worlds from them.
I hate fireworks AND dogs. F THE FOURTH.
There are around 10,000 Americans walking around this week not realizing this is the last week they will have 10 functioning fingers.
So sparklers and snakes?
It starts a week before the Fourth and ends a week after the Fourth in our neighborhood.
It drives me nuts because the dogs are not fans, and that upsets the No Pics, which upsets the dogs more....
Also, we don't have many but we do have one Vet in the neighborhood who has trouble with fireworks and I feel really bad for him because it is the random unexpected ones that bother him.
But do you try to take off running through the backyard fence if a dog barks when you weren't expecting it?
A neighbor at my lakehouse has a nephew who does fireworks shows professionally (he does the City of Tampa show on July 4th). A bunch of us pitch in & he does a show on our lake every year, either the day before or day after, depending on his schedule.
Wow, your gays are far more enthusiastic than ours are. Good for them!
Bad for all who dislike fireworks.
This will make me seem bitter but I've never been a fan of fireworks. Even as a young boy I could care less about watching or lighting them off. The men in the world who brag about spending $1,000+ on fireworks have to at least be half retarded.
Also think of the vets and pets people.

I think of vets and love pets.
I also love fireworks - on the Fourth.
Not the third, or the fifth. On the Fourth.
That's about 80% of the reason I'm not a fan of fireworks. The other 20% is me just not caring enough. If you've watched one decent firework show you've pretty much seen them all.
I'm still a big kid at heart and one of the ways I am trying to stay young is to try to experience things through my kids' eyes and they still ooo and awe at fireworks. Once they get bored of them I doubt I will go out of my way to see them. But we have just the right view from our backyard to see the city show every year, so I am sure I will watch from there.
But I get it, they are a lot of bluster for little pay off and the technology literally hasn't changed in thousands of years.
I blew all my fireworks off when Knicks won championship.
some folks just don't have an appreciation for the damage an explosive can do...
Orrrrrrr because we are poors? Buying fireworks when you can't afford them is definitely a poor person move.
Parking lot stands always seem to be empty but they keep setting them up year after year.
The profit margin must be insane.

I think the majority of us in this thread have come out against buying fireworks, so there is that too.
