Dear Americans (Excluding the Southwest)

Today/tonight while you are celebrating with fireworks, please think before you act.

Don't let the 4th of July be the day you remember losing a finger or eye.

Fireworks Safety

Good post Weasel

On a lighter note, I felt I should share an amusing conversation I had with my six year old today. He was reading a party invitation he received and asked if it was this Saturday. I asked him what date was on the invite and he replied August. I then asked him if he knew the date today, and after a moment of consideration he replied July 4th. I then happened to mention to him that this was a big day in the US (since he is starting to take a big interest now in the outside world...though I am getting tired with him asking 'what is French for' or 'How do Australians say...' Anyway, he wanted to know why it was a big day that they would get fireworks in the summer and not in November as we do. When I explained he became very sullen. I asked him what was wrong and his response was 'Well we will never rule the world now!!'

Happy July 4th

Don't - my boy knows too much about pcs for me to feel comfortable with

he is already further in Dungeon Siege and NwN than I am. I am sure he is hacking my game

More the opposite, I fear

How else would I believe a half orc barbarian wizard to be viable???

My mam brought me up to hate the Soviet Union - maybe Orcs is a healthier outlet.

LOL!

but a barbarian wizard?? *sigh* he is too hack and slash for a mage, but likes his spells. NwN has offered him a compromise and he has exploited it

Clever lad - he's a powergamer already!!!

I just got NWN in the post and have spent all nite dowloading the service packs for Win2k to make it work....

Good career move. Few orcs carry Kalashnikovs.

Happy 4th of July...

...to all you Americans out there.

BTW, why the exclusion of the Southwesterners?

@Ysh: You must be a proud mother!

I survived another year.

Only had one bad firework as well..

The Southwest is under a dry spell at the moment..lots of forest fires.

Glad to see...

...that this year was good to you...

Do you still have all 10 fingers?

How was the BBQ and all those All-American grub you eat on ID?

Sorry about the SWers, I guess they have to celebrate with less flamin' stuff.

Yes all ten fingers still intact.

(Minor burn to some areas don't count

)

Since I don't drink...don't like BBQ that much..my sister (Yes I crashed my sisters house for the 4th

) cooked steaks on the grille and made my favorite..Tea.

I took the time to experiment with some bottle rockets..(12 at one time..long fuse)

So I call it a success.

(I did wait around and make sure no fires started up afterwards.)

Weasel, I can't believe it...

... you too, like Fas, are on tea?!!!

You don't drink?

Really?

Bottle rockets, huh? 12 at a time? Who was the lucky target of your pyro-pleasure?

I'm glad too that things were still safe for everyone.

EDIT- Your sister must have truly loved you.

Re: Weasel, I can't believe it...

Tea my one weakness.

As to the drinking...it has been (don't know the exact date) close to 4 years since I have had one.

My only vice being..cigs.

The life of a Evil Vile Tyrant..

Work (for money)....work in my garden...work on my house..work on my computer...work on world domination..nothing but work.

Lucky target?? Classified

I believe my sister was trying to get me to leave .

The real question is: Can you still count to 21?
