Stupid things you saw on Nextdoor

[brutal]

As we were waiting for the Parker fireworks show to start, sitting at the northernmost ballfield at Salisbury Park, I saw a few that appeared to be set off from a nearby backyard barely leave the ground before exploding. I commented to the wife that there was bound to be a fire at some point. Shortly after, we saw the light of a fire in a grove of trees.

Some event attendees or staff jumped over the barriers and they, or someone from a nearby residence, managed to put it out.

So there is some dumfuckery going on with some of the revelers.

The red/blue lights could be seen shortly after through the still present smoke.

We actually had house fires in my neighborhood three years in a row. Haven't had one in a couple of years that I am aware of.

The local Colorado Springs news (KOAA at least) has been fawning over some Pueblo student (pillar of the community, everyone likes him, blah, blah, blah) who was severly injured when a firework he was lighting went off prematurely. KOAA helpfully supplied a pointer to the go fund me account that the family setup to help with medical bills.

My take: Self inflicted, he doesn't deserve it.

Unfortunately [IMHO] the go fund me account has exceeded its goal. Oh well, nowadays there's a sucker born every 30 seconds.

Posted to Nextdoor by West Metro Fire:

Over the 4th of July holiday this year, West Metro responded to nine fires caused by fireworks, including this one in the 3300 block of South Newcombe in Lakewood. Fireworks caught the fence on fire and the flames traveled to the homes on either side.

West Metro crews responded to two more fires on Thursday that were sparked by fireworks. The one pictured- in the Bear Creek Greenbelt near Estes Street and West Cornell Avenue. Another fire - in the 2500 block of South Sheridan. Again - our district is under high fire danger right now.

I'm all for freedom, but the people shooting these fireworks off in crowded subdivisions are idiots, and I hope they get ticketed.

I have the clippers; I just need someone to help me use them to shave her back legs and the area around her butt. Dingleberries and carpet disguised as toilet paper ...."

Sign me right up for that rodeo.

I really want one of these:

Do those work on prairie dogs? Or are they too big?
