Happy Independence Day!

Anyone have any funny stories to share about the holiday?

Yeah! Canfield (the city in which I live in -- home of the largest fair in Ohio) isn't having any fireworks. The rotary club decided that they couldn't fund the display. The odd thing is, they generally charge $10/car to get into the fairgrounds to see the display -- why couldn't they make it $15 or $20/car? That'd be a steal for us, considering we pack 10 into our vehicle. :p And the neighboring township, Austintown, isn't having a display either, due to construction on the new high school stadium. w33k.

I did, however, get to be in the parade this morning. Me and about 20 other people from my church were out promoting this year's VBS program, so that was neat.

I remember that... that was a fun night.
 
a good story....

we were setting off fireworks one year, and we were at some friends house. a mom from our church decided it would be a good idea to let her children run around when we were lighting a bunch of fireworks.
We lit some of those "bee's" and a little boy thought they were really pretty so he ran to go grab one... you can guess what happened.
 
Well, I work at a store and we were super busy on July 3.

One of the customers came right out and said it while I was bagging his groceries... the holiday is all about booze, bratwurst, and a day off... or three day weekend for some.

It is sad that a holiday of remembrance means nothing to this country.... i've lost all hope in America, honestly. There was radio program on which ask a bunch of people questions about independence day. no one could answer whom we celebrate our independence from... i've lost all hope in America, honestly.
