'murica survey - How many "I'm not sure that's legal" firework tents have you seen around your area? I've only seen 1, but it was basically a circus tent packed with explosives.

I'm in Florida. Everything is legal. including my neighbors being reckless and their shit hitting my pool cage >.<

Pool cage, you say?



To shreds, you say?

 

[The Flame]

Not a tent, but I'm sitting in my car at work right now and there was another car in the back of the parking lot doing donuts and firing big ass fireworks out their windows for a while

Interstate rest stops are the true melting pot of America. Especially the tiny fucking Applegreen ones in NY.

I went to the drive thru at McDonalds, so I could get lunch. Lady at the serving window had either dyed her hair or adorned it with red/white/blue ribbons in her braids. I thought it was pretty cool. Unfortunately drove away before my mind had processed the coloring and couldn't complement her on it.

Our friends host a 4th party every year.

Husband of the pair works for the local fire department. They had a 6x6 ft dining room table stacked probably 5-6 ft with fireworks... The fire chief's vehicle is here, but just to make things go boom...

I will now insult ppl online by calling them white fudge covered golden cakes with creamy filling.

I made New England Clam Chowder to give the finger to the Brits.

I need to buy flour, because my soup it too thin. I have two bags of expired flour.

Not canned stuff. Tastes pretty good. Just too thin.

Seems about as many as I saw get set off last night.

Also, I found this 11 year old picture I took of a firework, which clearly stole Warcraft game art.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Ok it's the 5th I'm back to hating this place (America) until further notice

Sure sounds like as many as I heard going off around me last night. Damn Americans with their loud fireworks and their saggy trousers....

I'll do that once the extra long weekend is over.

 

[Ben]

Look at this fancy bastard with his Friday off as well.

I didn't think I was going anywhere, to need to request PTO soon enough. So 3/5 of my team had already taken it off, and now I'm sitting in a camper by the lake on my laptop while my kids are running their mom and grandparents ragged... Honestly I might have made the right choice.

I didn't plan on it but my boss mistakenly announced me as having the day off at the beginning of the week so I was like "okay!"

I fucking wish that would happen to me.

I'd just be paranoid that "Ben won't be coming in on Friday" was just a spin on "or the next week. Actually, Ben's position has been restructured within the organization to no longer collect a paycheck."

I did not think this gif had adjusted captions in the Giphy window, when clicking it, but... I'm behind it.

Actually placed my request to register to vote (absentee) in the mail for the first time ever. Federal only.

Shit, hope you're okay mate. :/

 

[Ben]

My wife spent like 30 minutes calling other nurses, asking if they could cover her on-call shift tonight.

One person she asked to cover informed her that she's not on-call tonight, they are.

Better than expected. I have pain meds and muscle relaxers

 

[Ben]

Any emotional damage from being pounded hard in the ass by trucker?

Or from the vehicle collision?

 

[Smacktard]

I think the muscle relaxers help with that physical damage, at least

I have yet to drive since

Maybe it's just me, but those kind of drugs scare me because of the addictive nature some may have. They make you feel good, and you want to keep feeling good, so you keep using them even if you might not need them anymore.

How long ago did it happen? When do you expect a full recovery?

 

[shortkut]

Maybe it's just me, but those kind of drugs scare me because of the addictive nature some may have. They make you feel good, and you want to keep feeling good, so you keep using them even if you might not need them anymore.

It’s just a matter of using them responsibly. I only have a 5 day supply, so hopefully I don’t need them significantly longer

This past Monday. Look for my thread “Pancaked”

Nope, not at all. Equally fucked.

In other news, America be Americing: 6 teenagers were shot in Albany early this morning, which is awful, but I did chuckle at how this news channel phrased it.

What? That's what Yanks do with good tea, they throw it in disgusting water. Could've made a lake or a river taste wonderful, but nooooo.....
