Monty by Jim Meddick for June 28, 2021

Celebrate the founding of your country by blowing up a small part of it.

Wow. I like fireworks, but I had no idea they were such serious business..

We’ve already had one house fire locally by someone shooting one onto someone else’s roof. I predict there are going to be at least two local brush fires over the weekend of the Fourth caused by fireworks. I just hope we don’t get another big forest fire. It’s tinder dry here.

He called Monty “son.” That was nice. Must’ve made him feel young.

“What’s the cheapest you’ve got?”

“I wanna set off some fireworks. Not take out the neighbor and his barn.”

How about something along the line of Cluster Munitions ! Sheesh ! /s

A dozen ‘Willey-peter’ mortar rounds and a few Claymores ought to do it.

Riverside, CA would accidentally set Mt. Rubideau on fire every 4th of July. It was a tradition. I lived there 22 years.

I love this one! But unfortunately, I like “sparkly” too…Christmas tree shop for me?

Anybody see my thumb?

I don’t mind so much the pops and sizzles, the whistles, and nonconcussive booms. But the ones that sound like wartime bombs drive me insane. My dogs go apeshit and cry. Hate those overloud ones.

Something in the non-arsonous line for Western drought customers.

Neighbor puts on a great fireworks show every year. I suppose this year it would be good to get the hoses and fire extinguishers ready just in case.

Is it too much to ask for all three?

“I love the smell of fireworks in the morning….”

Today’s Mt. Pleasant.

I’ve never understood why people like fireworks. It’s just pumping more pollution into the air and risking injury and fire damage. Why not just go down to the dump and set fire to it.

I’m happy to have fireworks on the 4th of July. What I don’t get are why we have to put up with simulated naborhood gunfights from June thru August.

..do you have a selection of concussion..?

I can tell he likes the smell of napalm in the morning.

Choose the manly high altitude dispersal. You might just hit a low flying plane for that added sparkly effect you so desperately want….

Is anyone else mentally hearing R. Lee Ermey asking Monty what he wants?

The guy is blunt, but right! Monty should not be allowed to play with fireworks! They can, you know, explode!

Did anyone else read that entire exchange in the voice of R. Lee Ermey?
