Fireworks stands

[Name Redacted]

Used to pass 100 of these places on the Bama state line on the way to my grandparents house from ATL. It was seriously the highlight of our trips when dad would finally stop after my brother and I begged him for days leading up to the trip. These places looked HUDGE from the outside. Massive wall with bright adds painted on them, but once you walked in, it was a mobile home that was gutted and some sketchy looking 300 lb dude in a wife beater sitting behind the counter watching baseball drinking Jim Beam.

Nowadays it is just idiots playing with explosives and potentially setting fires.

It has always been idiots playing with explosives and potentially setting fires, that is what makes fireworks so much fun especially for young. A grass fire that cause the fire department to roll or a hand or eye injury that required transport signaled the end of the session for the day.

The good stuff.



I listen to a lot of out of town radio on apps like iheartradio or radio.com and am usually treated to a mix of local advertising and ads from the market I'm listening to.

For some reason the last week I've been just bombarded by this spot for "Fireworks of the Poconos! ONLY 75 MINUTES FROM THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE!!!!!"

A) I'm not listening to Greater NYC radio

2) How is a 75 minute drive a marketing point for fireworks?

iii) Has anyone been and is it really worth the 13 hour drive for me?

I wonder if it’s that the place where the shoe bomber shops?

Guilty, though I drove her to the hospital at 2 am.

Bumped in appreciation. He's playing in Reno on the 1st. Free.

Paul Thorn is awesome. You know he climbed into the ring with Roberto Duran.

The fight is on youtube--not the whole thing as I recall but the last rounds. I think it was stopped because Paul was cut badly and blinded, otherwise could have gone longer.

I usually stop at Phantom Fireworks in PA on the way back from Blue Knob. There are also good ones sold in SC along the border.

I avoid things that might fly past our property and keep a garden hose and sprayer on and ready. I also run a sprinkler around the grass where things will get hot before any holiday session.

You are a good man. Eye patch or bandaged hand?

The doctor pulls out mangled plastic from the inside of her nose, asks, can you explain what this is? It was the plastic end cap from the m-80 I threw in to the air. It went through her nostril. Could have taken her eye out or worse. "Fortunately" it cut through on the curve of the nostril so the scar was somewhat hidden. She was also a brides maid in her sisters wedding that weekend. Make-up to hide the black eye but there was no hiding the stitches. I was not very popular at that wedding and felt about 2 inches tall. She was a champ about the whole thing. I still feel terrible about it and it was more than 20 years ago.

At the all night rando event group of us we would ski Ptarmigan at midnight singlefile shooting off roman candles, lots of fun, I don't remember anyone getting hit

Roman candle wars are the shizzle! Bottle rockets are for sissies. Pros Duke it out with mortars.

Dude I went to HS with, his family ran one or two stands. They’d rent the stand from the main chain place for a flat rate and then keep the profits. Like 3k over a couple of weeks.

Another dude I went to HS with worked at the stand for a dude who rented several stands. He had a little bunk area with a TV and some grass. Whole stand always smelled like weed.

Ever do it with Flashing Thunders? Less colors, more bangs.

Why limit yourself to one device? Roman Candles as a standoff weapon, lit cigar between the teeth and a empty beer bottle with a few bottle rockets to send into those foolish enough to close in when they think you are lighting up another candle.

I'll have to admit to using bottle rockets in a skirmish once. However, we were indoors, so anything else would have been dangerous.

Saw some fool shoot one in to his boot once. Why anyone would tuck their jeans inside to the top of their boots is just begging for that kind of juju justice LOL..

Fuck them and everyone else who started shooting off bullshit little fireworks beginning last weekend and what will surely be into next weekend.

After skiing around with a pack full of PETN boosters and shooting 100 lb bags of ANFO, firecrackers are a wet fart.

/rant.

Happy July 3rd.

My trolling of Bunion = successful

Must suck not to have any friends in real life that also post here.

Watched about $5K worth of fireworks tonight from many of my neighbors....from the privacy of my backyard deck.

I grew up with bottle rocket wars on the basketball court and chasing friends around the yard with roman candles. My favorite was sticking the wick of an M-80 through a lit cigarette and leaving it for the golfers behind us.

I enjoyed the show and that they spent 5k, but the ones shot toward the mature trees made me a bit nervous. Dog had a rough night for sure.
