Life is nothing but a series of events that can be enhanced by blowing shite up.

Used to be anti-fireworks until I had kids. have a discount place I go to and have found cake fireworks to be fun and best bang for the buck.

Somewhere I have a picture (old skool from film) of me inspecting a steel I-beam we had just cut with a ribbon charge in EOAC (Engineer Officer Advanced Camp) and I have the biggest 4 yo looking grin on my face. My life is more complete having had the opportunity to play with multiple types of high explosives.

high-IQ activity for me.



At age 50 with 2 kids ages 4 and 6????? Are they grandkids? If not, you're gonna look like grandpa in the audience when they graduate high school.

Not low IQ , but completely understand it is a waste.
I also understand my kids like them, so I get spend $500.00 on fireworks twice a year. I can afford it and the smile and happiness it brings them is worth it . I also get to enjoy time with them and make memories so it is a financial loss and a emotional gain

For the first time in many years, I didn't hear a single firework this time when New Years came. I was surprised.

Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on the perspective, the fatasses out there these days look 20 years older than they are, so it’s a wash.

That's the best reason to do it.

Modern American dogs are too pussified. The "piss on the floor at a loud sound 3 blocks away" trait needs to be identified so those dogs can be neutered.

Back in the day, when dogs were dawgs, you could fire a shotgun near them and they would love it.

You came to the right place to ask about a low IQ activity.

I don't give a sh*t about dogs keeping up their owners considering how many neighbors dogs have kept me up at night. It's payback and fully deserved.

I'm now 72 and when I was in my mid 40's the thought of producing another kid scared the crap out of me enough so that I went to see Dr. Snip-it and got a vasectomy. That took a lot of worry off my mind and I don't regret it one bit.


It was an interesting procedure as I watched him work his magic while under a numbing agent so I couldn't feel the incisions.

How low IQ does one have to be to own an animal that freaks out over random shite? I mean, it's not even like we're talking about livestock here. It's like, "I find this random mammal amusing so I'm going to get pissy when people refuse to mollycoddle it for me."

All entertainment is "wasting money" according to your logic.

Lol. Well, intentionally delayed adulthood, a long relationship ending and then a divorce and cancer knocked 20 years out of the equation. And here we are. Wouldn’t trade it.
