So you are a Fireworks Snob?

I mean....Americans Celebrating America and you snob one over another?

Maybe a Display at Rushmore is the best way to go?

Okay, I concede that. But, the Hong Kong Chinese New Year's fireworks display over the harbor is pretty friggin' awesomeness, as is their whole building light show every night. The Chinese have some really seriously wicked fireworks. Hillbillies would kill themselves or each other.

Oh, I never liked Chinese music, ever.

In 2000 I was in DC for the 4th. My best friend worked at the Pentagon so I took my chick there to see the place and enjoy the holiday. We sat on the steps of the Lincoln memorial and watched the fireworks over the Washington monument and over the reflecting pool was pretty slick. Best display I've seen.

Thunder over Louisville during Derby week is the best I've seen. They use one of the bridges over the Ohio river and also have barges on the water for fireworks platforms. I think the DC one would be hard to top however

Oak Tree's display was the worst ever. 10 minutes, no grand finale...totally sucked.

They're going to have to raise those homeowner fees so that they can afford some better pyrotechnics.

I believe these are done by the club, not the HOA. But they have been going downhill for the last few years. Last night's was embarrassing.

Well, she did get our noose taken away a few years ago.

The noose needed to go (unless it had an oilman hanging from it).

OhhoOOhh, how controversial :rolleyes:

The noose's removal was the definitive, textbook example of political correctness gone bat-**** crazy.

You insensitive bastard! ;) don't you get it. Nooses where used to hang blacks, along with anyone else who needed hanging.

heh.. :) but you see the fallacy.

Let's take the soonerfans poster named "The Profit".

"Hey, my great-great-great-great-Grandfather was a slave, and plantation owners Profited from his slave labor. How can you be so insensitive?? My ethnic special-interest group demands that you change your handle!"

I'm pretty sure anyone of any age raised in the southwestern United States correlates nooses with cowboy-era outlaws instead of slavery. Regardless, Oak Tree smartly avoided controversy by removing the noose but how retarded was that situation?

Agreed. It was stupid. Let's take it a step further. These nooses were typically thrown over a branch, on a tree. In some cases these trees were Oaks. The entire concept of Oak Tree is racist.
