The 4th of July

[Remote]

Hey Explosm. What are you going to do for this fourth of July?

[Dauntasa]

Nothing.

[MrChrisso]

Nothing.

[Abe Vigoda]

Nothing.

[NutButters]

Edit: Nothing.

200 old people are gonna circle jerk at my house. Not excited. I usually go see the fireworks at the lake, but I can't this year :frown:.

[Aramon]

First off, I love your sig, Remote. And I used to live in Omaha, Nebraska. We would go to my cousin's place, buy these huge rolls of firecrackers, about 64,000 in each roll, and lay them out down the sidewalk in the neighborhood. About three rolls, total. Each year, we added another roll. Last year it was seven rolls. We light the fuse and it took over 30 minutes from start to finish to end. And my dad has a pyrotechnic license, so we got the cool big fire works. You know, salutes, all the ones you see at the end of ball games, etc. We won the neighborhood contest on the best 4th of July show every year. Best teenage years ever. Fucking Epic.

[OoooF4LiFe]

I'm going to take advantage of my dog, skippy.

[RaygunShaun]

Themed playlist (http://radioraygun.blogspot.com/).

I mean, nothing.

[Aramon]

Damn. Sounds like everyone here has a boring weekend planned.

[Remote]

Explosm is lack of any sort of social life outside the internet.

[John Travolta]

Everything.

[RaygunShaun]

Everything.

Jealous.

[AnOddRant]

Something. Or nothing. I haven't decided. Boy this is going to be a busy weekend.

[The Fetus]

Fireworks near the Arch.

[Aramon]

Good point Remote. And my social life only extends to family and my girl friend, so... That pretty much means I don't have one. She likes to dance. So that's what we do half the time. Or sing. That'll be half of my I-Day. Maybe I'll watch Independance Day. Good movie.

[John Travolta]

Fireworks near the Arch.Why do you call your mom's ass the arch?

[BlackHood]

Nothing

[RaxoZellet]

Working

[The Fetus]

Why do you call my mom's ass the arch?

I don't know. She told me she likes it being called that.

[Slutty McBangerton]

Clean my house. I might bake a cake too.

[ultrasoundchick]

Supposed to go to a parade tomorrow morning, followed by a family cookout in the afternoon. Sunday I am hoping to get out on the lake in my friends boat. I'll not be watching any fireworks, that I know of. Pretty adventurous for a 'splomer!

Hey, I'm going to nebraska for the 4th

[Aramon]

Hey, I'm going to nebraska for the 4th

What area?

[about88ninjas]

Omaha

[Aramon]

Sweet, do you have family there? Be careful, I hear it's got a lot of STDs in the population now. Not my fault. :hellnaw:

[about88ninjas]

I got family there, like my Dad, Grandma, and Aunt, and it is your fault, if I get AIDS, I'm blaming you

[P0K3M0N_MA5T3R]

Shitting on American flags.

[DoctorButt]

Nothing.

[Aramon]

Haha, It's mainly Herpes. But AIDS? Well... Maybe my fault. :smug:

[about88ninjas]

:doublefinI hate you so much

[Hats of!]

Nothing.

[Casalen]

Nothing.

Except for checking out fireworks, which should be a decent sized show. We have a pretty big festival like setup in Old Town for the day. And my girlfriend wants to do something, but doesn't know what, other than that. If I can find a boat I might take her on a tour of the bay, as she doesn't have a lot of boating experience. But it was kind of short notice. This place actually does the 4th pretty well for being a cesspool of liberal communist America haters.

Also, someone was trying to sell knives in this house recently and cut a penny to demonstrate one. Thanks to the holiday our newspaper had an American flag fold out thing; I asked if she'd like to burn that flag while she was at it. Then walked away in disgust.

[jewishjosh]

I'm departing on a plane from my beautiful home country of Canada to visit the UK for 5 weeks.

[Aramon]

I wonder how they would feel about three plane loads of American coming into the UK and marching on the 4th of July. We'd be shot I think.

[john41martin21]

Work from 6am till 9pm. and i'm 16, is that legal?

[Aramon]

Each state is different, here in Ohio, that would be illegal.

[paraskeet]

I will be going to my aunts house to consume beer and shoot shotguns all afternoon. Afterwards i'll be heading to a friends house to drink more beer and play on a slip'n'slide.

[VerminScum]

Gnihton.

[El Travo]

I'm Canadian.

[RessXalcor]

I'm making Pork Shoulder and some other side dishes and my brother is buying a bunch of fireworks.

[gizzalove]

Wear an American flag as a cape.

Your right, but you gave a women it, then that women got her blood sucked out by a mosquito, now it is possible from to get it from the mosquito, so, I strongly dislike you, and your in Ohio as well, that is some strange coincidence, huh?

[Aramon]

Indeed. Ohio is the black hole of America. Once I graduate HS, I'm outta here. 11 months and counting.

[Sieda]

I'm going to do some yard work, then head inside and play some music when all the other idiots come out to blow shit up.

My girlfriend said her family and the friends they spend the 4th with went out and spent $700 on fireworks last year. What the fuck? And she's not going to college because they "Can't afford it", even though that alone would almost cover a semester going to community college full time around here.

[Remote]

Myself I'm going down to a lake with a few friends, and have a sort of BBQ while blowing shit up.
That's how REAL patriots celebrate.

[Tweek]

Sucker punch the foes of Justice and roundhouse kick the enemies of Freedom.

USA!!

Amen, brother. I would do the same, but the nearest lake to me is Lake Erie. And that's north of Cleveland, which is two hours away. Maybe I'll throw some M-80s (illegal) into the pool out back.

[Laurence]

I'll probably protest gay marriage and universal healthcare in the hope that it will prevent America from descending into a faggy socialist society. That all sounds pretty American to me.

[Aramon]

Where are these protests? I'll help.

[Laurence]

Where are these protests? I'll help.

1) I'm not even American and nor was I being serious, and 2) ugh.

Everything I can. Post in this thread.

[bono]

Happy 4th of July, I am not American(or anywhere near America) but I am going to make a fire and get drunk to celebrate the day.

[Acciaccatura]

I'm working.

I wish Australia had a national day to blow stuff up. :hmm:

[Septem]

What a coincidence, I'll get drunk probably. Not because of your holiday, but because my brother's problems with his girlfriend.

Happy turkey hunting. Or is that another holiday?

[BreakTheWalls]

Going to a metal gig. Should be good.

[Plum]

go to a ball

[Mobius]

Working for America in a secret location in Southwest Asia. Nothing has blown up today.

[SizzlingNickel]

I am staring at DoctorButt's avatar all day.

[ZonariAn]

I'm probably going to hike to the top of Kennesaw Mountain, which is one of the only mountains in the area, so there will be a nice view of the entire Metro Atlanta area. I will see fireworks for miles!

[Alcoholic]

I'm protecting some of America's uranium, as usual (:patriot:), then heading to this girls cookout/barbecue/beer drinking soire. Then I'm going to sleep in an American-made bed after driving home in my American-made truck. USA! USA! USA!

[bunglejunny]

Getting really drunk and wandering around downtown Plymouth, Massachusetts. It's acceptable because it's "America's Hometown" or some bullshit.

4th of July is fucking awesome where I live.


EDIT: PILGRAMS AND INDEONS

[Ikin]

Burning American flags while complaining about how much football sucks.

[RaygunShaun]

I'm going to be listening to fucktards blowing fireworks up all night for the next three days.

[Casalen]

Dude, can you get me some? I bet there's an awesome firework to be had here.

Anyway, I just came here to bitch about the weather. Just over fifty degrees (F) and cloudy. How the fuck is this summer?

It would be the most disappointing firework display ever man. No flashy show, and then boom - everyone has cancer. Shittiest celebration ever.

That's interesting. There's been nothing but blistering heat here for the last few weeks or so.

[TheGodfather]

We'd be fine with it, but if it was a group of British people marching then we shall damn them to hell as it's racist to be British in Britain! And I will be doing nothing.

[Dauntasa]

Actually, if you can get this special type of really, really radioactive uranium, it'll glow in the dark. Put some in every firework, and by the end of the show the ground will have this awesome, almost magical glow. Doesn't really help with the cancer, though.

[WiseOldTabbyCat]

Today was Gay Pride Day in the UK. Am I the only one who sees a littke irony there?

[sprene]

You probably are, yeah.

I'm Canadian, so all my fireworks-y celebrations for July happened a couple days ago (July 1st was Canada Day), but for today I'll probably go see a cheap movie and eat some leftover Chinese food.

[CuntMuppet]

What? And I was considering watching the movie but then I didn't, but I live in England so yeah. America sucks

[Sanlands]

Celebrated my 4th at DC with a bunch of my friends. Afterwards we partied it up in the metro. And then headed to a house party.

Happy birthday America.

[The Fetus]

How come today we don't burn British flags and Redcoats, or wear shirts that have the UK on it being crossed out and on the back it says "Fuck England!"?

I mean, not that we actually hate Britain, but it'd be a more significant celebration than drinking and blowing shit up.

[Tweek]

Maybe because it's about America, not England.
And generally a celebration is meant to be fun and shit.

[MrChrisso]

What's not fun about burning flags and proving masculinity by taking your shirt off and cursing all nations that aren't your own?

[amayaheartnet]

You probably are, yeah.

I'm Canadian too, but I still partied it up tonight. You're just not using your imagination.

Because we'd come kick your ass. :cheerio:

[Ocellatus]

I heard the North Koreans took the celebration a bit too far.

[Hats of!]

Americans hate the French, even if they helped USA immensely during the 18th and 19th centuries. Strangely enough you don't hate England even if they did the opposite. And that's why Americans can't handle hatred and love for other countries.

[Quadros]

Yeah but everyone hates the French. Even the almost-French (I'm looking at YOU, Belgium). And everyone loves England because even though we raped half the world, we did it in style and with impeccable manners.

[Hats of!]

I can't disagree there.

[The Fetus]

I bet Malaysia, Egypt, Sudan, Belize, and maybe even Ireland celebrate it the way I think we should.

[John Travolta]

[John Travolta]

Not even you believe that, Quadros.

[Quadros]

No-one else celebrates the 4th of July though.

[Remote]

I disagree quaddy.

[The Fetus]

No-one else celebrates the 4th of July though.

They still have a holiday in which to celebrate their independence from the British.

[Tweek]

That's not the point of any Independence Day.

[The Fetus]

IT WILL BE!

[maniko]

Yeah but everyone hates the French. Even the almost-French (I'm looking at YOU, Belgium). And everyone loves England because even though we raped half the world, we did it in style and with impeccable manners.

Because the Union Jack is already crossed out. Noone would notice a crossed out Union Jack

This would be crossed out. http://www.skillforce.org/images/uk-map.gif

[Allen]

I rode around with friends. For awhile I shouted shit like "Fuck England!" and "I love America!"

But then I decided to do a complete 180 to that, put on huge sunglasses, styled my hair like David Frost, and went around introducing myself as Lexington "Lex" Concord from Westminster, England. I talked about how much I hated America and all its commercialism, and how America only won their Revolutionary War because England was occupied with fighting France. I pulled off a pretty believable accent. My friends got a kick out of the fake character, as where I got a kick out of the fact that there were people the I knew from high school at a few of the parties that I engaged in conversation and they had no idea it was me.

Nor did a single person get that Lexington and Concord were the first two battles of the Revolutionary War. People are fucking stupid.

[Hats of!]

Did you get laid as a Brit?

[Allen]

No. I didn't really make that a goal, but I really should give that a shot.

Did you fuck up your teeth to go for the full effect?
