Good to know we had some people who were out there looking at ways to make the night safer and not put more giant holes in your yard or giant holes in ourselves/ MrFood@idkfa.com (MrFood) Mercy General Mon, 10 Jan 2011 16:59:09 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1613&msg_id=1748 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1613&msg_id=1747 Two things: 1. I believe you drove at a later point in the evening, in which case you weren't very drunk (or at least I hope you weren't). This is a moot point, as my main point is... 2. I lit of my fair share of fireworks as well, a drunk person can certainly light fuses - my point is that it would be much safer to have someone actually sober handling or at least overseeing it, so that mistakes aren't made (and risk is mitigated). Like the poor bastard with the blown up hand, I'm sure if someone sober had been around him it wouldn't have happened. Or, perhaps the front yard explosion wouldn't have happened if someone had said, "Erik, let me take that to the street, I don't think letting a drunk asshole light that on a deformable surface is a good idea." In any case, I had fun, and am glad no one got hurt... but I certainly don't want to put any of my friends in that situation again! I mean, I like JD. Lol.

I have my fb profile set to be so no one can see pictures anyone else tags of me, but there are some in here that are pretty funny. :) CapitolZebra@idkfa.com (CapitolZebra) Mercy General Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:35:07 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1613&msg_id=1742 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1613&msg_id=1741 Unfortunately I was drinking water as I was clicking through these, and I almost spit it right onto my keyboard when I came to this picture: http://picasaweb.google.com/johnlaurance/NewYears2010?feat=embedwebsite#5559909876311250146 That is fucking hilarious.

Sorry for the guy and all but it must take a hell of a lot more screwing around that what we were doing to get injured like that. I think we did do a good job which included you guys running over to check on neighbor houses if an explosion got too close. All in all a good night and a good show, thanks to Erik for running out and grabbing those and to all who pitched in for the fireworks.

I almost had a heart attack from laughing so hard because Erik ate through the wrapper on the chocolate bar when I put it in his face. gunner125@idkfa.com (gunner125) Mercy General Mon, 10 Jan 2011 00:55:58 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1613&msg_id=1736 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1613&msg_id=1735 I think that I was the only person who actually reacted to the explosion.

Apparently he put the mortar into the canister/launcher upside down, and for some reason was still holding it - at least that's what I gathered from the ADN article. I'm glad we were all smart enough to not be too near those big ones when they went off. And apparently there are TONS of emails and letters being sent to the assembly and mayor. Hopefully they don't repeal this year. Good thing we had our fun while it lasted. norwaygirl@idkfa.com (norwaygirl) Mercy General Tue, 04 Jan 2011 00:18:49 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1613&msg_id=1636 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1613&msg_id=1634 You all are lucky, someone apparently blew his hand off lighting fireworks.

I know there are a few more gems in there to share. Josh you were there at some of the best times. Good photos of the rockets actually taking off. I will treasure by beer bottle launch pic forever. That and when I pushed Libby into the snow and you got her face down in it. Nice one. I at least am thankful I wasn't hurt. It seems like I was probably in the high risk category of being injured with the fireworks in my hands and all.

I blame my drunken fingers for fumbling it into said tube ;) Again, I must add: thank goodness no one got hurt from that!
