I like fireworks.
I’ve seen some amazing 2-3 hour displays: non-stop boom, boom, boom.
They must scare the crap out of animals and mess up Google Earth photos.
My sister’s dog usually likes to go for walks, but from early October to mid November it’s a homebody. It hates Halloween; more specifically firecrackers, screechers, and roman candles.
As a kid, Halloween fireworks meant a cheapie bag of pyrotechnics.
I’ve had more fun with a book of matches.
They always concluded with something called “The School House”. It was just a Little House on the Prairies‘ paper school house that burned down when lit.
I’ve done better with a cereal box in the fireplace.
Kids in South America are lucky: no age restrictions for buying fireworks, no regulations, no nothing.
Light them off anywhere, tie them to your back if you like, anything goes.
In Ecuador almost everynight there are fireworks going off in celebration of some Saint’s day or religious holy day.
I think that’s why so many people are religious in South America: it’s the fireworks!

How do you worship the god of fireworks? Matchbooks? Bic lighters? Do you worship at the altar of launching tubes? How interesting, that!

There aren’t many restrictions on buying fireworks in most southern states in the US — and the kids are missing just as many fingers to prove it!

personally i don’t like fireworks. it’s not safe for kids. i’d recommend doing drugs or stabbing old ladies. just as much fun and no ecological harm caused either.
