What's everyone doing for the 4th of July?

I know that MA is planning to ignite half the eastern states from what he said the other night.
How about the rest of you?

 

I'll probably still be wasted from the night before

if not, I'll either be playing DotA (WC3: TF map), C&C: Generals or soccer if the weather permits it

yes... july 4th doesn't mean anything to me, but I'm not american so that's logical

 

Relaxing around the house on Fri., fishing on Sat. & Sun., relaxing again on Mon.

 

hahaha muskybob, in other words, the "same old, same old" - lucky you
You must be soooo stress free, I envy you

((hug))

 

Well the 4th of July is my birthday but Im prob not doing anything at all

 

Working in the morning and nothing in the evening...The damn bowling alley's closed that day.

 

Get to enjoy another day of the government telling me I can't account for myself and the use of fireworks. Other than that.. maybe some burgers.. some neighbors.. and some laughs.

 

i know you'll hate me for this, but we're gonna barbie down the beach and watch the fireworks from the big hotels. drink stienies, crash under the stars. aloha (luv living here)

 

Probably still getting over eldest sons birthday party. Born on the second of July 1975 to an OZ dad and a USA mum. We hoped he might wait another 2 days until the 4th. Didn't happen though. Bazza

You better put a break in that loop big guy!

Me, I'm working. Overtime pay. Building's locked down. Should be easy money.

 

sigh im not even 25 yet lol.... ok question tho...who is David Allen Coe?

 

Probably indoors watching a movie or playing KOTOR. Supposed to be rainy all weekend.

 

Who's Jimmy Buffet?

 

Sweet sounds like my kinda guy!!!!!!


LOL

 

It's been a tradition for several years to
watch the Boston Pops Orchestra on TV
on July 4.
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture is usually
the finale and is quite inspirational.

Singer that wrote Margaritaville and flies around in an old Grumman Goose seaplane down in the tropics.

 

Xflat:

Boston Pops, is that a Dad's Group? HAHAHAAHA!
Good one!

My brother lives in Massachusetts so I've developed
a fondness for Boston over the past few years
and have been able to visit him twice.

b b b baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad to the bone LOL

 

OK, in honor of lostkiwi, I plan out getting totally wasted, picking a fight with a cop, and spending the night in jail.




Is that better?

 

Oh gawd NO!
You can come to some kind of compromise can't you.
Don't want to be bugging xflat for bail!!

@maggie: I love the Boston Pops on the 4th, for a couple of years it would be the only thing we could watch on tv after getting home from our own celebrations.

 

You crack me up xflat!

I like Boston Pops; got some of their stuff on disc. Although for the 1812 Overture, the old Telarc CD is the best I've heard. No compression or limiting; the cannon shots will rattle your windows.

It's ironic that a Russian composition has become the most popular tradition for the U.S. Independence Day celebrations.

 

I will probably take rachel to the fairgrounds in ralrigh- they have a carnical type thing- lots of stuff for kids, and a pretty decent fireworks show....shes never been there before, so i think shell enjoy it!!

 

Since it has no meaning to me or where I live - nothing special - just a plain 'ol Saturday here.


The 5th November (Guy Fawkes Night), may be a different story!

 

That, and a half a bottle of Dewars makes me smile an awful lot.

 

carnical? That doesn't sound too good for a kid.

 

I am going to relax. watch a little tv. spam MG and enjoy life to the fullest

 

hahahaha

CARNIVAL!!!!!!!!! lol

 

Well i think this pic just about sums up my weekend!

I love indiana....a gut on our block spends thousands of dollars every year and put on a better show then any of the town shows i go to....its going to be great!

It will be a great holiday for me...I have to work a 12 hour shift, 6am to 6 pm. What makes this great for me is that all of the in-laws are coming about 8 am and leaving about 4 pm........absolutely wonderful.

 

Are you getting paid time-&-a-half to miss your inlaws? That would be perfect!

 

HA ! Since the fourth falls on Sunday I get straight time for holiday pay, plus double time for actual hours worked. Gonna be puttin' some sheckles in my puter savings account. I almost got enough saved to build/ have built what I want.
My wife got steamed when I told her I had to work and she was stuck ALL DAY with HER relatives...it seldom happens when such pure justice happens.
