Happy Independence day. It was bloody tough fighting off all those aliens, but if one thing was learned is that anything can be done if you have Will Smith on your side and crazy crop dusters with fighter jets.

Ugh. That movie came out during my teens and really could have been the quintessential action movie of my time (unfortunately, Armageddon takes that honor). However, when the advanced alien civilization, capable of interstellar coordinated travel and devastating attack gets overwhelmed by a computer virus from a mid 90s laptop, I couldn't suspend anymore disbelief. That ruined the whole move for me.
No churches have free wifi because they don't want to compete with an invisible force that works.

When the alien invasion does indeed happen, if everyone would just go out into the streets & inexpertly play the flute, they'll just go. -@UncleDynamite

Haha, that movie is like a 90 minute excuse for Will Smith to be all "Wooooo!"

Why celebrate a mediocre movie with crappy aliens?

...Oh! Right! Don't blow yourselves up with fireworks! And if you do, remember to make a vid and share it with us  8)

Yes, please do share your personal Darwin Award fireworks videos if you get them! Because, like so many other things, it's all good fun until someone loses an eye; then it's freaking hilarious!

There won't be many of us blowing ourselves to bits with fireworks this year.  I was watching the Weather Channel yesterday (not my fault, that's what some genius had put on the TV at the gym) and it looked like about 46 out of the 50 states of the union had firework bans because of the drought.

I can't say that I am disappointed. I would have to spend the whole night comforting the dogs who think that the world is ending.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Then it's just a game. "Find the eye".
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

How about: It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Then it's fun and games you can't see anymore.

Reminds me of the classic, "If you cut your legs off with that lawnmower, don't come running to me!"

Anyways . . . Independence Day! Down with the British! Hurrah for our American neighbours! I'll always think of you fondly as Canada's pants.

That's fitting, we do have the bible belt.  Anyhow, Brunswick stew turned out pretty good, even if I did forget the black-eyed peas, and I'll be able to see the fireworks in another city from my front window, so woo-hoo to us!

I heard that a few had put the fireworks show on the backburner for this year but didn't realize it was 46 of 50 doing so!  Obviously California wasn't one.  It sounded like a war zone in our neighborhood last night.

We added to the smoke with our fire pit.
