Happy 4th of July to our tPBers! 💥

We had the recreation of the family video where a spark hits the stash of fireworks, last night at my sister's house. Luckily no one for hurt, but abiut 500 bucks worth of fireworks went of in 5 minutes, flying all over the place. My wife was pissed because they all went running for cover and I stood there dodging a few that came my way so I could watch the rest of them go up...

Glad you're OK. In hindsight that's pretty hilarious.

Happy 4th you geniuses!

I was a young man watching the Millard fireworks display at what was - at the time - the Millard Junior/Senior High off of 127th and L Streets (by the Western Bowl !). The volunteer fire department handled the fireworks for the event and transported them in an ambulance parked on the east side of the field. A spark - or rogue firework - found it's way into the back end of that ambulance and set EVERYTHING off. It was the most amazing thing young LHR had ever seen, but the experience was dampened with the next-day knowledge that not everyone made it out of the back of that ambulance when it erupted.

My 4th was fucking awesome. Called my wife’s family 3rd world hillbillies about 5 times during a rant about the fact that while visiting her mother, our dogs got fleas (seriously, if your yard and house are infested with fleas, you are a retred). And then I made her drive us to our friend’s house so I could get fuckt up while she combs and bathes our dogs. God Bless America, and FUCK idiots with fleas!

Happy 4th! I had the pleasure of calling the cops a couple dozen times on my neighbors illegally shooting fireworks.

Glad to make the city some money, going to bill the for my services tomorrow.

Abe Simpson couldn’t do this.
This is a young man’s game, and luckily for my city I’m funemployed for another few days.

Had to walk around documenting addresses, spying inventory, taking photos and videos. I’ve called in and got all of the case numbers. Now I’m just submitting emails with the case numbers to supply them with my evidence as well.

What kind of un-American town doesn't allow fireworks on the 4th?

A town that cares about it citizens and pets.

@Jim14510 honestly challenge you to find a more American way to spend the birthday of the country.

People breaking the law because it’s their right and the govt can’t tell them what to do.
People mad about people breaking the law and calling the cops
Beer

I can’t think of another way to spend this day

Sounds like a good day.

I think it's reasonable to have restrictions on fireworks outside of the 4th +/- a couple of days.

Drink of choice this year: Switched between Yuengling Flights and High Noons. Occasional vodka water, occasional pickle shot, occasionally slapped a bag of wine while someone held it over me and poured it down my throat.

Garden Plain gets after it for 4th of July.
