Favela of My Dismay
Good God, I may be growing prudish with age, but these fucking spicolas and their fireworks annoy the fuck out me. They come to this country like hispanic hezbolleze terrorists refusing to exchange their third world customs for American civility. Waving their green, red, and white flags 364 days out of the year in honor of Cesar E., then on the fourth they turn in to patriotic primates of the South American variety. Congregating on the street corners of Mejico Norte with banners a wavin, and firecrackers a poppin. These mojada espaldas are a God damn fire hazard!!! Yet they'll survive the scorching brush like post apocalyptic cockroaches. They have no grasp of American history aside from the Alamo. Frankly speaking, it makes me sad.


BUILD A FUCKING WALL! :mad:
 
I have my music blasting... live close to a large fireworks "Gathering" of sorts. Its loud as shit, and I have to work early tomorrow. Will probably sleep with the music still blasting.
 
well in most of south irving the mexicans are out in force popping their illegal firecrackers & shooting their pistols into the sky. my particular street, which is 80% mexicans, is relatively quiet though. i heard a few pops sounding like they were on my street, but nothing to keep me from sleeping & no worries of stray bullets. the geneva road mexicans appreciate the quiet life for the most part :cool:
 
drunk bohemians and hipsters hanging out on rooftops ... fdny came and tried to rescue a stuck cat ... more drinking with strangers.

and then this:

haha ^ true. Last year, at like 11 pm, I went outside and yelled, "one more time and I'm calling the police! Some of us have jobs!" There werent any more after that.
 
I'm pretty much in the same boat as RiA...just a fucking warzone. driving down the streets with fireworks and shit going off on each side. it was like baghdad or something


my friends and I had a feast and then proceeded to watch Big Lebowski (like any patriotic American would)
 
i just let out a series of farts which sounded like fireworks crackling in the distance :rock:

What a woman!!!

The neighborhood was quiet tonight...with the exception of the fireworks show that is approx 4 miles from here. Loud as hell...and they start it off with several cannon shots to honor the fallen military. Again, loud as hell.

:lol: As I typed that last sentence my wife started using an electric sander on a bathroom upstairs. Sounds like she's using an industrial-sized vibrator which, at the thought, makes certain areas of my anatomy start to...uh...respond. I'm going in...or at least going to try to...wish me luck!!! :kickass:
 
What I always hated was that the fireworks always continued for 2-4 weeks after the forth in my neighborhood.

Yeah... it sucks out here since the 24th is something called "pioneer day", where a buncha mormons let off fireworks to celebrate something.

I mean, I get the day off work, but its annoying none the less.
 
Oh shut the fuck up. Put up a wall around your house if you want one that bad... :lol:

I was one of the ones blowing shit to high heaven last night. It was like Iraq in my neighborhood last night. :kickass: :kickass:

We had a blast.

Never heard anyone but my fucking mother complain about the noise of fireworks... :zombie:
 
Well, when you have a collective about 150 - 250 people right down the road, since theres an open field, shooting off hundreds of fireworks a minute, and you have to get your ass to work at 4am and need your sleep, yeah... theres a problem.
 
My neighbors didn't make much noise, but the main fireworks went off at 22:30, and I was sleeping. They were so close it made my shitty apartment shake, which woke me up and scared the fuck out of me.
