[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Tell me, when the burnt-out sparkler bucket caught fire, did you know where the clicky stick was?
In the kitchen drawer where it always lives.
Did you know where Cass was? Were they in a nefarious location?
Cass was standing across from me over the burning water bucket, cackling delightedly.
Oh, that's just perfect. Love it.
Suzi, I meant to say earlier that I am so sorry your mom didn't get the kidney this time. Hugs and crossed fingers for another opportunity soon.
Jilli, did you see Teppy's pictures from her local 4th of July parade? they had people with flaming hula hoops, drums, etc. You and Cass would have loved it!
It *did* make me think of Jilli, and how twirling around with the clicky fire stick suddenly seemed less dangerous in the face of people twirling fire and hula-hooping with flames.
Did you dip water from whichever river it was that caught fire?
Cleveland?
Being in SoCal (especially during a drought) means no fireworks for me. I did light a whole bunch of candles, but it wasn't really the same.
Cuyahoga, in Cleveland.
One of those random facts that's surprisingly handy to have on hand. Like a good fire stick.
Vortex, have you gotten any news about the window problem with the condo and when you get to actually move in?
Did you dip water from whichever river it was that caught fire?
The Cuyahoga. No one's ever going to let that river forget that incident.
There were a lot of amateur fireworks here, but fortunately we did get a little rain Monday, so it wasn't quite so paper dry. We're still busily working on the drought record, though.
I think I can call last night's party our best 4th ever, because we had enough sparklers that the bucket of water we used to hold the burnt-out sparklers caught on fire. All the sparkler sticks started merrily burning away. It was a pity we didn't have any marshmallows, but they probably would have ended up seasoned with gunpowder.
I can verify that the burning water bucket was AWESOME.
It caught on fire as I was leaving, but I came back to see it merrily flame on.
Also, there was a fender bender on the Ship Canal Bridge, so I got to see the tail end of the Lake Union fireworks on my way home. All told, it was an EXCELLENT 4th.
Cass was standing across from me over the burning water bucket, cackling delightedly.
Might want to double-check that drawer.
