Hey you idiots...knock it off with your freakin' fireworks at 1 o'clock in the morning. What really pisses me off is when I go outside in the morning and see bottle rockets on my roof and yard. I hate to think about a fire burning my house down because of you morons. My wife said she heard one hit our bathroom window.
Why do you hate America so much? The only thing worse than fireworks in the neighborhood is people firing their guns off in the air on New Year's. Ugh.
There was one time when a Black Cat fireworks went off at the side of my driveway at 3 in the morning and it wasn't even a holiday. That night I couldn't sleep at all.
Perhaps you should confront these people, instead of complaining on an online message board? Seriously, I wish I could have done fireworks tonight... I went to a fireworks warehouse in NW Houston yesterday and saw MILFs buying hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks!!!! (I know, who knew Houston had MILFs? I thought Dallas had the market cornered on those finely aged exquisite booties.)
Man, WTF was up with the HPD tonight? i was driving past downtown and found myself stuck in traffic b/c of all the damn idiots trying to park on the shoulder of the Pierce Elevated. And the cops were just driving past them. That should be illegal. Not only does it slow down traffic, it's a freaking road hazard. I swear there were at least 2 times where I almost rear ended someone b/c that f*cker was trying to park ON the freeway.
The one over on 290 between Huffmeister and 1960?? We went to my wife's cousin's house last night and her hubby bought about $1,500 worth of crap from the place. After a while, it was just overkill. I have a splitting headache this morning.
Try Bottle rockets. Some friends and I were throwing bottle rockets; all was going fine untill I threw one when I popped my shoulder and it went directly behind me into a crowd of my friends. Luckily no one was hurt, but from that point on I was forced on flashlight duty and wasn't allowed with in 10 feet of the fireworks.
Fireworks are a very healthy way to celebrate when you consider a large percentage of the world's population thinks firing AK-47's up in the air is appropriate. (do they ever wonder where the hot lead will fall?)
Yup, if you're taking 290 West towards Austin, exit HWY 6 and go straight through the intersection and stay in the right lane. There's a HUGE warehouse on the right hand side, right next to the Wortham subdivision!!!! It was cool!
Oops, I misread your post codell. I thought you were asking if there was a warehouse over there. Now I see you were affirming my statement. $1500????????
Fireworks fiasco hurts 50 PITTSTON: CELEBRATION TURNS DISASTROUS By GEORGE SMITH, JON FOX, TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER and MARK SCARAMASTRO PITTSTON - The grand finale of a fireworks display sponsored by Pittston and West Pittston in the Riverfront Park area went awry Sunday, sending possibly 50 people to area hospitals and igniting a small fire at Cooper's on the Waterfront. "Fireworks went errant during the grand finale and went into the crowd of people," said Mike Lombardo, who is with the Pittston ambulance. "About 50 people were injured, five to ten pretty severe. There were a tremendous amount of walking wounded." A chaotic scene erupted as the crowd tried to dash to safety. Maria Noone of Pittston was watching the fireworks with her son. "We were sitting on the steps that lead down to the fireworks, and it was like a rolling thunder of fireworks heading our way. Everyone started to run. People were being hit (by fireworks) within 12 feet of us. If we didn't move out of the way, we'd be in an ambulance, too." "With about 20 or 25 percent of the finale left, that piece exploded irregularly," said Michael Lombardo, mayor of Pittston, uncle of the Pittston ambulance crew member. "It exploded at ground level and went left and right at about 10:30." Some of the injured were reportedly flown by medical helicopter that was staged out of the Pittston Area High School. The mayor said the fireworks were located in an area 15 to 18 feet below ground level of Cooper's. "One of the pieces ricocheted and landed in the shrubs at Cooper's," Mayor Lombardo said. The mayor said the most serious injuries were suffered by two or three people from the pyrotechnics company. He said two of the three were classified as serious. One suffered burns and smoke inhalation and another suffered a "shrapnel gash to the upper left leg." According to Mayor Lombardo, all three were taken to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. Conrad Schintz, vice president of operations for Geisinger Wyoming Valley, said the hospital's disaster plan had been initiated and seven victims had been transported there. Six were burn victims and one suffered a blunt injury to the leg and was transported to an operating room. "With any type of disaster, information comes in slowly. We gear up for the worst and hope for the best," Schintz said. The mayor added that about 10 to 12 people suffered minor injuries resulting from "people running, tripping and falling" and percussion injuries. Others injured were transported to Scranton's Community Medical Center, according to the hospital. "When I saw it happen, I knew something was wrong and ran over," said William Goldsworthy, mayor of West Pittston. "There were a lot of very minor injuries." Officials planned to quarantine all the pieces of fireworks shells that were scattered about the Riverfront Park area, and the state police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were arriving to investigate. Mayor Lombardo said the fireworks display was reportedly staged by Schaefer Pyrotechnics, of Stroudsburg. County EMA as well as ATF were on the scene. Mayor Lombardo said there were concerns about unexploded ordnance. "We're not sure, but we're assessing the situation." "We were in the middle of the bridge, and right when the grand finale started everything went off," said Mario Palmieri, 18, of Exeter. "Something went wrong. You could tell something went wrong." "They were going off at a 20-degree angle. The fireworks just went off on the ground," said Tim Fenner, 19, Exeter, who watched the event from the middle of Water Street Bridge. Firefighters remained on the roof of Coopers at 10:45 p.m. Emergency vehicles remained at the CVS pharmacy at Kennedy Boulevard and the Salvation Army Emergency Response Unit appeared on the scene. Mark Warke of Trucksville was seeking treatment at Geisinger. Warke's sister was seeking treatment for a sprained knee. "We were standing on a metal bridge about 100 yards away. At first they were going in the air, then all of a sudden they didn't fire right; they were going backward," Warke said. Warke's sister, whom he did not name, was injured while attempting to reach a pay phone to inform their father they were both safe. No further information was available at press time.
i live in that subdivision, 2 blocks from that fireworks warehouse. It's a b**** to get out of the neighborhood when it's opened.
