Note to Self, No. 6,502

Find a way to change our appearance. This year, I was told no less than 19 times to “Have a safe 4th of July,” indicating that I somehow resemble the Latchkey, redneck children that seem to lose useful parts of their anatomy each July by securing coal mine explosives in their teeth or in the rectum of the neighbor’s dog while yelling, “Hey fellers! Lookit this!”

    Famous last words of a redneck:
    “Hey look what I can do”

    I don’t know Dave, considering the fireworks deaths in the area today, maybe that’s not such a bad thing for someone to say.

    BTW, tomorrow, have a safe 5th of July.

    Have a great 4th of July you Ahmericans, blow some shit up and stuff yourselves BBQ style!

    I miss Guy Fawkes night here, (they banned it about 20 years ago)

    Fireworks were da bomb…

    :geek:

  5. Over here in Spain they do love their pyrotechnics too. About once every two years there’s an accident at some backwater fireworks factory that obliterates about half a mountain. They’re all used in festivals such as Las Fallas in Valencia, a charming event that involves torching massive papier-mâché effigies and detonating a lot of hand held recreational explosives. The joke is when someone asks you how many times you’ve been to Las Fallas, you reply ‘Four times!’ and hold up three fingers.

    I guess it IS kind of nice to say it. But yeah its as if leaving the “safe” out of there means you wish a disastrous 4th or something. The need to add extra words like “safe” to everything is kinda pointless. Well unless you are talking to someone you hate and otherwise you DO want them to have an unsafe day. 😈

    I can’t even count the number of times I’ve been told to “drive safe” even outside of a night out. OH! THANK GOODNESS you said that! I hadn’t even thought of it! I was going to slam a 6-pack, shoot some heroin, and see if I could make the trip home blindfolded while driving on the wrong side of the road in reverse with the doors open and not use my turn signals, while having unprotected sex with a prostitute! You saved my life! 😛

    💡
    Everyone have a SAFE every day you accident-prone explosive-loving bastards. I just saved all your lives. You’re welcome. 8)

    No one ever tells a suicide bomber to be careful :dead:

  8. If you’re out on a boat for fireworks, (like at the Queen Mary), the ride home can be pretty scary with all the drunk boaters heading home at the same time.

    When folks leave our place after a night of fun, we always say “Drive fast & take lots of chances!” :wtf:

    No, No, No, Famous last words of a redneck is:

    Nooooo, the famous last words of a redneck are:

    I like to give people confusing departure’s. The kind that makes them walk away and think, “What the hell did he mean by that?”
    “See ya later. Hope you don’t get hit by lightning.”

    “You have a good night; and make sure that your house doesn’t blow up.”

    “It was lovely seeing you again; you stay away from any crippling diseases. Stay in touch.”

  12. Well, the comments you received Dave were certainly in the spirit of the 4th of July and what it stands for.

    I’m mean, we all remember from our history lessons how George Washington told his troops to battle ‘safely’ against the British army to insure the independence of the new nation. He knew well how exited his little soldiers could with all the thrills and the noise of a full blown battle and how easy it is to forget that flintlocks can go off when you least expect and pinkies can get easily burned on hot musket barrels.

    ‘Go forth to Yorktown and fight with all your honor!’ he told them ‘But don’t come crying to me if you poke your eye out with that bayonet. Ooh, there’ll be tears before armistice, I just know there will.’

  15. Appearances can be decieving: People still believe I’m an innocent, civilized, proper lady…if they only knew what goes on in behind closed doors and/or dark alleys, outside the expected socialization with these so called “normal” people… 😈
    I don’t believe they could handle such reality…
