It sounds great. It will probably last another 20 minutes. Then my wife will spend an hour getting out of the parking lot with our daughter. Meanwhile I am relaxing at home.

Am I an asshole? Maybe.

Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to drink all the beer in the house before they get home.

I did that long ago.

But everyone, have a good night.

I can hear, and see, people firing off their own mortars a few hundred feet over the trees.

Injuns have good fireworks, so we buy 'em and fvck the "no fireworks" pussies. And these are no sparklers, they go "WHOMP!" as they shoot skyward, not "zzzzzllle" on the lawn or driveway.

There's just something wrong about thinking only government goons can set off fireworks to "celebrate independence". We think independently.

Should have sent up the drone to memorialize it on video. Maybe next year.

Lol...

I'd accept your submission as MAD Mag staff. (But then you already knew that).

Nope. Not if you're just enjoying Independence Day and symbolic display. That makes you a fine 'Murican.

Now IF you were firing fireworks and bottle-rockets TWO DAYS early....(as just happened)...OR firing them, landing on MY house (as some drunken AH slob of a neighbor did some years ago), your heavy-handed self-criticism might be warranted.

Well, I have to admit, I did some of that kind of stuff in my teens. Now I guess I am going into my "Mr. Wilson days."

Yes, but your teens in OUR teens we all did dumb things. It was mostly out of ignorance.

The drunken nitwits who bottle-rocketed MY house without common sense and due prejudice were ADULTS.

Well, if adults did that, that is just criminal.
