Now that we showed you how to find out if fireworks are legal in your area, let’s get down to showing you how to use fireworks safely. Remember, putting that huge firecracker in your buddy’s mouth may seem fun, but how much fun are you going to have doing 5 years for manslaughter? Not much.
Keep a bucket of water nearby to douse fireworks in an emergency, or to put out sparklers.
Light fireworks one at a time. Have only one person do the lighting, keeping an arm’s length from the tip.
Dispose of used fireworks by dousing them with water to be sure they are completely extinguished, then dispose of them in a metal trash container.
Knight Rider fans rejoice, as the Hoff and KITT film a silly music video for Australia covering the old diddy “Get In My Car”. In the video, he tries to lure three girls—the sum of all of their ages is still less than his—into his car. It seems a little creepy, but still, it’s the Hoff. Even through news of beating his wife (that’s a no no), and the train wreck called Baywatch Nights, we’ll still remember him for Knight Rider.
A girl is selling herself and her Enzo for $1.6 million. Yes, selling herself along with the car. She figures that anybody rich enough to pay for the Enzo deserves a chance to get in her pants. Poor dudes should not apply.
So, if you’re a multi-millionaire and really want a girlfriend—and a new car—here you go. Tell us how she rides.
Impossible you say? Nay, my friends, it’s quite possible. Watch the video, learn, and impress your boss at the 4th of July party. He may either give you a promotion, or think you’re a boozer.
The last thing you want when you’re enjoying a couple sparklers with your kids is for the neighbors to call the popos. Before you get down to some asploding, find out if fireworks are legal in your area.
Determine not only your state regulations, but also those for your county and/or city.
Call your local police or fire department to find out local fireworks laws.
Contact the National Council on Fireworks Safety, (301) 907-7998, or visit its Web site for information on state laws.
Keep in mind that using fireworks in areas where they’re forbidden may result in a stiff fine.
And if they’re not legal, find out where they are and take the kids there.
Oh and this one isn’t 4th of July related—we’re just freakin’ pyros.
We’re getting close to July 4th around here (and everywhere), so we’re going to try and make these last few entries July 4th Vacation related. Unless we can’t, then we won’t.
These shot glass checkers look pretty great. When you’re not using them to play dunk-ass-checkers with a mate, you can use them as regular shot glasses—who’d have thunk? They’re pretty cheap at $24.99 when you consider how many shot glasses it comes with. Celebrate our nation’s independence by getting flat-assed-sloshed. Washington did.
Whip this card out the next time you’re at Costco and the grandmas will be all over you. It’s a companion card to your current card that folds in half to fit into a tiny case. You only need to pull out half the card in order to swipe it, which in the grand scheme of things doesn’t really mean a whole lot. Just another gimmick for Amex to get you to spend more.
Since I’m heading to Vegas this weekend, here’s a video made only with 101 Coke bottles plus a buttload of Mentos. What’s so special about it? It’s reminiscent of the fountains at the Bellagio. Watch and be amazed.
For those with “lofty” goals (get it?), this Aluma Designs table decorates your loft’s living area with all the warmness of a knife in the side. The glass surface sits atop a perforated aluminum sheet, to provide you a place to put your drinks, feet, and faux-intellectual magazines.
Are you an SUV driver? I am—my other car is a Z. If you are, calm the F down. Studies have shown that 19% of SUV drivers weren’t searing seat belts and use cellphones four times more than drivers of other cars. The added height and increased visibility, along with the weightiness of the car gives us a false sense of safety. Cut it out! We’re just as vulnerable as other drivers.
So, drive safe and pretend you’re in a Mini Coop, even if you’re behind the wheel of an H3.
