      I didn’t have a chance to be this year, but I’m usually that uncle. I’ve also been known to repackage individual fireworks into much larger fireworks. I used to make thermite but I’m too nervous for that now.

      I do take safety precautions and the kids don’t get to play with the shit that will blow you up. If an adult wants to blow off their fingers that’s their problem.

      Blasting a bucket into orbit is fun!

          Y’all only get to hear about our shitty politicians, and they do suck diseased horse wang. However, there’s a lot of cool shit to do and a lot of cool people to hang out with.

          “Come to Texas! We have Mexican andTexMex food, delicious brisket, and some drunk idiot will blow shit up for your entertainment! Just don’t come if you’re pregnant and planning to get an abortion.”

          Uncle Nub (yes, that was a real person) would be proud of me for bringing people to watch that and eat.
