   We used to buy Red Devil “Safe and Sane” fireworks from a roadside stand when we were kids.

   Safe and Sane? They caused a lot of fires and emergency room visits.

   They left out M-80s. They were the real popular ones when I was growing up.

   The fun fireworks are all illegal here, but I’m only about an hour from the Wyoming border. Not even a mile across the border there is a store that does a booming business with the Colorado people. What fun is the 4th of July without some mayhem?

   Fireworks didn’t hurt my childhood. I still have my left eye

   Every year my neighbors compete for longest and best fireworks display. With the state of the economy I wonder if it will happen this year.

   They’ve been popping fireworks in my neighborhood for the last 2 weeks.

   Jor-El, obviously those visits to the hospital weren’t for you since you are, in fact, the Man of Steel, right?

    JFri, technically Jor-El was the Man of Steel’s father (unless they’ve changed comic book history again since i stopped collecting) and was not invulnerable on Krypton.

    We used to take the higher end, powerful bottle rockets and shoot them off a bridge into a creek… Man it was neat to watch them blow up under water. I wouldn’t do it now, but we were kids then… :)

    Fireworks are fun. Just don’t take them for granted.

    Unless Clayton goes to a city or state where all those fireworks (well with exception of Cherry Bombs which are banned here in the US or a Bazooka or even dynamite?!?!) are not banned by law but if the laws state the he has to be at least 16 to 18 years old to buy those fireworks. Beside I was very lucky to spend some of my Forth of Julys in El Paso Texas where you could go to the county line to buy & shoot off fireworks that I can’t find in my home state.

    “Profound disappointment”? “Arrest”?

    How about “dismemberment”, “face blown off” (granted, an improvement for some), “body burnt to a crisp” (probably NOT usually an improvement), or “starting of deadly brush fires”, just to name a few.

    Well, at the very least - if nothing’s blown off, there’s “losing TV priviledges for a coupla weeks”……..

    Was going to do fireworks on Saturday, but it rained :(
    
    I could definitely see both scenarios playing out though.
