Happy Fourth of July

The Fourth of July isn't all about celebrating our right to freedom, it's also about our right to be stupid when it comes to small handheld explosive devices.

Should have stuck with the sparklers.

A nice firecracker identification chart for those who are not familiar with holiday incendiary devices.

Firecrackers come in all sorts of attractive packages.

Nyarome! 

Some of them look good enough to eat.

That is probably not a good idea if the fuse has been lit.

Firecrackers can cause all kinds of soft tissue damage if you do not let go of them after you light them.

My date vetoed the picture of this hand that showed the bloody mangled soft tissue.

This sort of reminds me of a Right to Life commercial for some reason.

Uh oh.

Certain large fireworks move with such force they can penetrate your skull.

Enjoy the show!
