I'm pretty sure that the revolution has begun and the new year coincides with the rise of The People's Republic of Athens-Clarke County.
3/10 on the kerchiefs; they look like the bibs my son has to wear when I forget to run laundry. 10/10 on the pups. Tonight always sucks. Both of mine are drugged to the gills and hiding in separate bathrooms.
My best friends Dog used to go into the bathroom too :( I remember the first year she did it we all went crazy walking around the neighborhood calling for her bc we thought she did what she did the first 4th of July after he got her: So my buddy was a good runner at this bar and had to work New Years and left the dog at home. He was a early 20’s boner head and thought nothing of fireworks and a rescue dog alone. He’s pretty wasted at work. It’s 12:30am or so. And the lady he adopted the dog from texts him a few times and then calls him when he doesn’t respond. She’s like “Hey, you enjoying the new year?” My buddy: “yea, hope you are too!” Her: “how’s the dog?” Buddy: “Oh she’s great.” Her: “really, she with you” Buddy bold face lies, he’s at work: “yea! Of course” Her: “that’s interesting because she’s here at my house.” Poor girl clawed down the shutters, busted through the window in the living room, and raced like a little over a mile back to the old lady she was adopted from. Which is super impressive to me memory-wise. Think my buddy had her for at least a couple months by that point. Anyway yea fireworks scared the shit out of that poor dog. She was a sweetie too.
Can’t wait for the white trash a few doors down tonight get started. They did some last night but not all at once. It’d be one cluster every ten minutes or so. Just get it over with Jim bob. Maybe one will lose a finger tonight.
Experienced both of these sets of shit heads tonight 1. People lighting fireworks off on the beach while sea turtles were trying to lay eggs 2. Setting them off after 11 on a god damn Tuesday
If you can’t shoot all of your fireworks within 1 hour, you’re buying too much. Also, you shoot just after dark and get it done. Assholes still shooting huge boomers at 10:20
Virginia has the most pussiest fireworks imaginable, strippers also have to wear pasties and they don’t sell liquor Not sure any of things are that bad these days
The usual neighbors did nothing tonight; maybe they lost an eye last night. Either way it was a success.
I love people letting illegal fireworks rip from a national forest that had a major fire a few years ago because of... fireworks
I don't really mind because I was such a shithead with fire works as a kid. Having bottle rocket wars and shit Adults on the other hand...
4 days straight of rednecks setting off fireworks until 1am. Super cool. I honestly don’t know how my dog is still alive he freaks out so much.
Was at my parent's place for the fourth, which just a few years ago had two wildfires approaching all the homes in the region by just a mile or two and the neighborhood yesterday was just shooting off fireworks that could easily get into the brush around there but #YOLO
Nothing says america like spending hundreds of dollars to disturb your neighbors and leaving trash all on the street/sidewalks.
People were setting off huge fireworks in the neighborhood and saw a bird fall to the ground. It wasn't burned but it looked in shock . I think the explosions scared it so bad. It was sitting there for awhile and drunkenly flew to a nearby pine tree and hid.
Woken up by fireworks at fucking 130 last night. Dog started crying and shaking, and the wife and I didn't fall back asleep till about 4. Great job rednecks! Anyone setting off fireworks in a residential neighborhood after like 10 deserves the guillotine.
I’m always curious how many house fires are started by someone hitting their neighbor’s roof with a firework. Seems like that’s a given every year.
Our dogs are pretty much immune at this point. The artillery training base is a mile or so away so the 4th is only mildly worse. One of the three seemed a bit nervous but the other two were content to bark at the sky lights. Our town is very touristy though so several dogs have been lost over the last couple days. I thing we’re at 100% recovery and reuniting though. had a view of the neighboring town and it was like a movie scene. Constant large fireworks over the town until I fell asleep.
There were so many fireworks last night that there was literally a cloud of smoke in our neighborhood. Thinking next year we might just rent a cabin in the woods for a few days.
We usually shoot fireworks for all the kids on our street. Started at 8:30 with sparklers. Were done by 9:15. Mostly small ones and then a few of the shells to end it. Always go around the next day and clean everything up from neighbors yards. Some people down the street were shooting them every night starting on Friday at like 11pm. That was pretty annoying.
I hate everything about that holiday. Just let the professionals do their thing. My dog gets skittish for days. I have no desire to pick up casings from the hundreds of fireworks set off by neighbors but it makes my street look like shit. Not to mention it’s against the law here to do it after 10 PM or on any day other than July 4th. Just once, I want to see the trashy tents in the parking lots where they sell these go up in flames.
Thank god - found some debris on my back deck this morning. Thankfully the rain soaked everything otherwise based on the size and look of it, it would have been a bad time.
If you’re into fireworks you’re a loser with a little dick. fwiw I am also a loser with a little dick but not because I’m into fireworks
Another bug bear is this when people illegally shoot off fireworks. Had this happen in the playground that is right next to me. Scared the shit out of some little tackers and my cat ended up hissing at the freaks that set them off.
