I Guess It’s Better Than Throwing Eggs

Yes, lets call it what it is. Fireworks are a royal pain in the butt if you aren’t the one setting them off or aren’t outside enjoying somebody else’s display. If you are from the hood it is always fun to try to figure out if it is fireworks or gunshots or what caliber gun it could be. Everybody else is scared to death. The nervous dog that runs all over the place knocking over stuff or the big dog that leaves a steamy pile of love with every thunder crack are real crowd pleasers. Some prefer the cats that just rip up everything they can to show that they aren’t happy. You have got to love when you finally get to sleep and your drunk neighbor realizes that they have another box left and starts back up. My personal favorite is all of the trash in your yard and on your car from fallen depris.

Back in my day we went with the whole throwing eggs thing. It was loads of fun for us but horrible for the homeowners when it was time for clean up. Toilet paper in the trees was a classic but it was hard to pull that one off and not get caught. And again it was murder on the homeowner when it was time for clean up. Maybe ringing doorbells and running would work on a off night. There was another group who went the whole robbing people route and some even worse but that wasn’t my group so I just waited to hear about them on tv. Nowadays, these kids just stand around in a circle while somebody drives a a muscle car really fast in the middle until somebody gets hit…….or the cops come.

My point is that there are all levels of being obnoxious. And I am a fan of cursing somebody out from time to time. It clears out the epiglotomus and keeps your profanity use sharp. And some fights are worth the court date. You get a day off from work and the people watching at the court house is top notch. Whatever your reasons are for dying on this hill today I can promise you this. Whatever level of inconsideration they are running on they will return to that level as soon as you guys finish with your dust up. I hope they are practicing fireworks safety. I hope nobody gets hurt. I hope there is no property damage. I hope some parent had a moment with their kid that made them both smile. Part of me hopes their dog freaks out and runs out the back door and finds a better home. I hope next year they find a more responsible and considerate way to celebrate. But for tonight……..I guess I will turn up the Kenny G. and be happy that I don’t have to clean egg off porch. Happy 4th!!
