Lessons Bn'B learns so you don't have to.
Don't leave your wallet in the car when you go into the dog park. Even if you stuff it in a seat back pocket.
Broken glass makes a huge fucking mess. Canceling credit cards takes a long time.

So, the music at the fireworks (FIREWORKS!!!!*) I went to on the 4th included "Born in the USA" which as we know is not actually a very the-USA-is-supreme-in-all-the-world song. As you may or may not recall, the basic structure of the song is 4 lines, chorus, 4 lines, chorus, etc. Except, in this iteration, it went straight from chorus to "Got in a little hometown jam/So they put a rifle in my hand" to chorus. And that's only 2 lines.
Yeah, they actually cut out the lines "Sent me off to a foreign land/To go and kill the yellow man."
Goddamn red states.
*I LOVE fireworks. These were 30+ minutes long -- seriously. It was 31 min or 34 min or something like that. So, despite the song thing, I was pretty happy.

If you came to live in communist D.C., you would get fireworks set to the 1812 overture. Yes, the piece celebrating a Russian victory over the french. What's next, standing for the cannon fire?

Although that is what you typed, while I was reading it, in my head I heard the Marseillaise.
And now it's stuck there. At least it has replaced the Harry Potter theme music caused by an overdose of Harry Potter movies this weekend. |

I rewatched all the Indiana Jones movies this weekend. I didn't mind that theme music being stuck in my head.
Though now I have this irresistable urge to travel to some exotic locale.

That blows. Same holds true with cassette tapes in a really crappy old car that you become saddled with via your spouse when you are living in a city center. I would have preferred them to take the entire car, but no. Instead, a huge mess to clean up, no more mix tapes from the college era, but still left with the car and the awful tapes that my wife had in the car but the thief rightly regarded as bad enough to not steal. |

OK, but fireworks always* end to the 1812 overture. That I can accept. Call me a hypocrite if you want.
*Or it seems like it. |

I went to the Kwik-E-Mart in Times Square last week to check out the Krusty-Os Cereal, Buzz Cola, and Squishees. It may be because I'm easily amused, but I was amused.

Wrong. It is ALWAYS the Star Spangled Banner.

You do that one right before the military jet fly-over and save the big bangs of the 1812 for the end.
In Boston, we use live cannon for the 1812. |

We had a chorus of frogs and bugs and jumping fish when we were setting fireworks off by the lake. No other accompanying music than "oooh," "aaaah," and "don't aim that thing at me..."
