Will has hundreds of
these in his glove box. He pulls over for hitchhikers, hands them a pin,

| Seven-O-Glossary "Bombs bursting in air" - Line from "The Star
Spangled Banner" written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key anticipating
American obsession with blowing things up. California - Not the most restrictive state in the U.S. in regards to fireworks usage (would you believe Minnesota? C'mon Jesse!) but a curmudgeon nonetheless. A-Team - A movie where stuff blows up, therefore a metaphor for great fireworks. Toy Story 3 - A movie where toys have feelings, therefore a metaphor for horrible fireworks. Eureka/Arcata Fireworks - The inevitability of firework obscuring fog in Humboldt County on the 4th of July is almost funny. Oh, wait. We're paying for this? "American Explosionalism" - Different
than the belief of the existence of American Exceptionalism, but not by
much. Sarah Palin - In Alaska, you can blow
up what ever you want. Fireworks. Hands. Moose. Whatever. Roman
Candles - The best firework for settling
duels. Idaho - A state full of burn victims that knows
how to party. Benjamin Franklin - America's most hilariously reckless founding father. Dude loved freedom. |
