Frank and Ernest by Thaves for July 04, 2021

Fireworks to celebrate is a long standing tradition. The 4th of July is a time to remember what it took to for a nation.

I love Frank and Ernest throughout history and as diverse species, mythological and biblical characters, and even planets. It gives me a feeling of being connected with this pair of smart, funny guys living and flourishing throughout time and space

Frank: “The electricity is out. We need light to see to get around."

Ernie (grabbing a candle and matches): “Fire Works.”

Old joke we use to have when I was working for McD’s. When something didn’t work we’d ask if someone had tried fire or where they just going to demonic sacrifice. Just imagine all those burning Taylor ice cream machines.

Frank: “What should someone say if a blaze starts in a theater?”

Ernie: “‘Fire!’ works.”

I need a laugh to start my day – Thaves works.

as my nitwit neighbors used to say while setting off roman candles and other explosive devices on their front steps, fire works…

Oh! a blast from the past.

A star spangled cartoon for the USA.

Happy Independence Day everyone!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, AMERICA!!!

Happy 4th of July from Arizona!

This one took a while to get there, but then, so did we.Happy 4th to all. And be thankful we reached that milestone early in our history. Many countries have never approached the same freedoms that we have enjoyed for these 242 years.

Made in China…

No fireworks in Montana because of high fire probability!

Meanwhile, millions of pets get terrified over this silly tradition. I hate fireworks!

“I want to hear a Springsteen song recorded by the Pointer Sisters.”

“‘Fire’ works.”

“I’d rather hear a bombastic song about Hell by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.”

“‘Fire’ works.”

A happy (and safe!) Independence Day to everyone in the U.S.A. …

…and a belated happy Canada Day and a slightly early wish for a happy Bastille Day to people who celebrate those this month.

Fireworks have never looked the same since I saw some at a Dead concert on Jerry Garcia’s 30th birthday.

Evolution……

How can we destroy the Southwest USA ?…….fire works.

Firecrackers on the 4th of July, OK, appropriate, traditional, all that. Firecrackers every single other damn night of the summer, NO!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

How are we going to cook the hamburgers and hot dogs? Fireworks

Last spring and summer – "This isn’t rioting and arson – it’s (just) (mostly) peaceful protests with fireworks.

Bravo!

Now, THAT was clever!
