Will you go see fireworks?
Where?
Did you buy fireworks this year ? I got $60.00 worth...

this year only the wife and I will go to dog wood park, north canton to watch firework ( and people) after that we will head home and watch the neighbor fire off his firework display from my back patio.

we will enjoy the here and now because in the future fireworks will be deemed as being war mongers, pro violence, unhealthy to the environment, anti ethic, and a safety hazard to communities.

Damn Obama and liberals taking away your fireworks.
But no, I won't be watching any fireworks.

I might watch Boom from Berliner after the slow-pitch All-Star game if my daughter isn't cranky.

Watching local fireworks Saturday with my gf, mom, sisters, nieces, nephew, and daughter.

I did not buy any.

Probably watch fireworks from the national mall. Don't really want to, since it is a zoo, but the majority of my group insists on it since they have never done it. VA/MD/DC are a bunch of pussies and don't sell fireworks.

Don't know about fireworks, but happy holiday weekend everyone. May it be filled with beer, burgers, golf, and whatever else floats your boat.

Bore the shit out of me. After seeing numerous displays as a kid I developed the "seen one, seen them all" mentality. Plus I have an extremely low attention span and get antsy pretty easily.

I'm finding this to be the case with me, too, lately.

I always enjoy watching fireworks…… We did not buy any this year. We were at Disney a couple weeks ago and saw some really great fireworks displays.... Planning on sitting on the deck and watching the neighbors displays...usually they are plenty.

This x1000. Snooze fest, they're all terrible. Also I've been to DC's fireworks before, if that's the best display our nation has to offer, it's time to just be done with fireworks.

Driving home last night from Erie, we saw bits & pieces of fireworks displays in a few cities over near Youngstown. So I've filled my fireworks "quota."

I don't think those were fireworks. Probably just Newarkians burning trash.

letting them off is fun. Going and watching them is boring.

That is correct. He has never posted anything of value in the past and figured it wouldnt start now!

At first I was looking to see if it was published by The Onion!

I will say that the 4th of July brings out the lulz and the derps. Between that dumbass blowing his own head off and the defensive end from the Giants almost blowing his hand off, losing a $60 million contract in the process, I got my "you can't fix stupid" entertainment for the weekend.
