Man, this coming Saturday, I'm gonna display my American flag proudly; gonna enjoy, and most likely overeat at, a huge picnic with my extended family; gonna check out a local neighborhood parade; gonna shoot off some better-than-average fireworks; gonna enjoy and ice cold beverage or two; gonna just ENJOY! And I ain't gonna be ashamed in any way, shape, or fashion!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

A short drive from anywhere and you can always locate various Roman candles, buzz bombs, bottle rockets, etc.
Personally, although I use to be wild about fireworks up until I was maybe 50, I now dislike them because of the fire threat and the injury threat let alone the cleanup that has to be done by others the next day.

MY mother wont allow me to have roman candles....

Cause I caught my sisters hair on fire in a roman candle fight when we were kids.

LOL.

We were all kids at one time.
I've had BB gun fights with my friends in the woods.
We use to light 1 1/2 inchers and throw them. A couple times they went off in my hands. No harm, no foul.

Edit:
We also use to put some gasoline in an empty one pound coffee can put a CO2 cartridge in it and run like hell to a hiding place and wait for our homemade hand grenade to go off sending metal shrapnel flying. We wouldn't do this in our own yard, no, we went to a neighbor's yard where we also use to climb their two cherry trees and eat all their cherries. I'll bet they secretly watched us through the windows and never complained. They must have loved little boys about 10 years old.

Lol. My youngest brother once embedded a BB into our middle brothers forehead as we were dressing up in ski gear to go have bb fights in the woods. Put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, swearing it wasnt loaded. BB stick right in his skin.

My neighbor shot me in the leg with a BB gun when I was 11 during a Dungeons and Dragons game because he didn't like my dice roll, he was the DM. heh

But if he didn't say somethign like... "WITH THE POWER VESTED IN ME, I HEREBY PUNISH YOU WITH A DRAGONS BITE ON YOUR CALF..."

Then he was a shitty DM.

I was thinking you were too old to have grown up next door to Michael Jackson, but it appears I was wrong on that....

Michael Jackson would have had an extremely tough time in lilly White, racist, Oswego. We didn't even have an Asian in town. We had a German family and an Italian family and they had a tough time. My town even looked down on Catholics although we had and still have a very prominent Catholic church in town, Our Lady of the Lake. There was a lady I saw every day going for a walk through downtown Oswego with her child who got great respect. We all felt a great deal of empathy for her. But a minority? Not only no but hell no. They were all looked down on. Minorities included Jews whom the other kids hated for some unknown reason. Well, that was the early 50s to the late 50s.

I was on the original and official Trailblazer fan site run by Casey, Sarah Hecht, Dustin and Justin before it disappeared.....HCP invited me here after the old one became a spam site with few members..it got really negative there.....I've never belonged to any other Blazer forum before these two forums...I actually had a life back then that didn't have time for social media
 
I’ve been on basketballforum, hoops world and even some fox sports board that was really passionate about the blazers in the late 90’s.

there was some dude named mpls or something that was super knowledgeable back then

I’ve always been a nerd for my Blazers

I remember XericX

Many here migrated from the old O-Live (Oregonian) message board, then to another board (can't recall the name) that was moderated by the Gestapo. IIRC, I led the charge over here. The mods welcomed us with open arms and said this place was a virtual Sweden, comparatively.
 
I tried Blazersedge for one visit....it was a bunch of groupies going....yeah Dave! That's right Dave! ...if you disagree with Dave there the hordes will come at you with the torches and pitchforks and there was NO sense of humor
