Well, we're all post-apocalyptic and knee-deep in the dead over here in April, so all I can really give you is casualty reports. But you know, happy new year anyway!

I like stavros. I like news and spoilers. I like the kind of hard work that goes into a FPP like this. But there's something about this News That Won't Happen Until March Wii 3.14-winning post that doesn't sit well with me. Could you help me put my finger on it?

I only made this thread so we could all bond in the before-math of the tragic shredding of the space-time continuum in Korea this March.

Also, it was a blatant attempt to garner "favorites", which I trade for pure Bolivian cocaine from a cabal-run warehouse down by the waterfront.

If there was ever some sort of competition that involved both of the participants to wear some kind of funny pant-like suit that represented darkness. The sense that those yuppy-like suspender wearing existentialists would hold forth on the nature of life, love and the suspense of not knowing where/who/what your god-fearing parents believed and/or espoused when it came down to the ultimate questions.

Questions like, where is the next jar of peanut butter coming from? Not just from a store or a peanut-filled playground of love and understanding, but more from a judgement-free holding cell that brings out the childlike laughter of 30-some-year-old folk who require alcoholic sustenance and reckless abandon to ultimately justify their less than remarkable existence.

But maybe if we get him drunk enough we could dress him up like a classic sock puppet monkey and then fist him and then generally proceed with the puppet antics.

Err, you first. I'm going to go get my camera.

I just spent forty minutes lighting lame-ass Utah fireworks. You know, the kind that aren't allowed to leave the ground, explode, or shoot anything higher than ten feet? Yeah, those kind, and I also managed to inflict a blister upon my thumb whilst doing so.

So yeah, happy New Year. And shit.

I went down to Belmont and watched the fireworks on the Space Needle. They were rather more delicate and arty this year. It was clear but a bit nippy out. Some neighbors from the apartments are having a party and I built a fire for them in the fire pit in the courtyard and stood around yacking with them for awhile. There's something fitting about standing around a fire on New Years. So, it wasn't bad for a New Years here.

Happy New Year to you all.

mr_crash_davis : You know, the kind that aren't allowed to leave the ground, explode, or shoot anything higher than ten feet?

In my badly misspent youth, we dealt with some explosive devices. And as... enthusiasts, we created a nomenclature to more accurately define the kind of stuff we would 'encounter' (but never build, wink wink, and so on...)

M-80 = cherry bomb.
M-250 = quarter stick of Dynamite
M-500 - half stick...

There were higher ratings, but nothing that should be discussed in our day and age.

I'm now old and don't remember the specifics of how to make these wonderful devices, but I do recollect a thing or two...

An M-250 will literally turn a mailbox inside out. Not that I've ever seen that, or anything. But if I had, I can only describe the experience as 'The Best Thing Ever'

> That said, don't do drugs kids, stay in school! And don't play with fireworks. because that would be dangerous. And naughty.
posted by quin at 1:44 AM on January 1, 2007


quin, we once filled a large glass bottle with inflammable liquids (hairspray, etc.) and completely sealed it with tape. The kicker? Our "wick" was a "hummer bomb", which was a smashed up hummeroo with taped ends. Essentially it was a tiny piece of dynamite acting as a fuse for a molotov cocktail.

We also had Roman Candle Wars®.

I got a phone call from the future last night, as I do every New Year that I spend in this country. Time zones freak me out when it's 7PM here and NEXT YEAR in Europe.

If it's April in Korea, and January in Rhode Island, then what should I eat for breakfast?
posted by grapefruitmoon at 9:29 AM on January 1, 2007


'S funny. I found a bag of reservation bought fireworks on the sidewalk last summer--there were m-80s and some cardboard roman candle mortars and such in there. Some kids no doubt abandoned them when they saw a police car or something. I thought about bringing them out and giving them to the people at the party--but only for about a nanosecond, 'cause it's hard to give fireworks to drunks when you aren't drunk yourself.

One of my regets in life is I've not yet seen a stick of dynamite lit off. Makes it tough to judge explosions measured in volumes of TNT.
