    Dorks it too nice. I don’t mind the fireworks all around the neighborhood for a night or two if the people setting them off are responsible, but the carelessness for other people’s property and setting off M80’s all day long for a month is ridiculous.

    Nice cartoon (especially the artworks!) but not actually true…. “The king would have me present the princess, sweet Chuck, with some delightful ostentation, or show, or pageant, or antique, or firework.” —Shakespeare, Love’s Labour’s Lost, VI.I.107.

    Back then, they were still killing whales. And a dork is, and always has been, the name for a male whale’s genitalia.

    Far more polite than the words I use to describe those people.

    What beautiful art today. Those fireworks are almost as pretty as real ones.

    Sounded like a war zone in my neighborhood, last night (seriously). Fireworks are illegal here (firecrackers, M-80’s and the like are felonies) but the law is not enforced. Then again, neither are the traffic laws (sigh).

    There are times I feel I would like to fire a rocket up the butt of the naughty, naughty people who explode M-80’s at 1:00 a.m. If I sound cranky, I am! Love fireworks, though.

    I used to live six blocks from Disneyland. Every evening at 9 PM, all year long, came the noise from the fireworks. When they first started in 1961, they were exciting and we all ran outside to watch. By the time my Dad died in 2009, it was “oh dear, fireworks. Turn up the volume on the TV.”

    Night-Gaunt49: Congreve designed his artillery rocket a generation later. Fireworks were called “illuminations” back then. See John Adams statement on how July second should be celebrated. The term, “fireworks” existed, note Hyden’s Royal Fireworks piece a generation earlier, but a pyrotechnic performance was usually called illuminations.

    Fireworks weren’t always fired up into the air. Sometimes they were strapped to a frame, and set off in sequence to make pictures. Eventually this was deemed too dangerous.
