66 hot dogs but

First let's congratulate Joey Chestnut on bringing back the Mustard Belt to USA!

4th of july used to be my favorite holiday

Until of course Rudolph Giuliani became mayor and vowed to wipe the city clean of fireworks. This had every cop hopped up to bust hard working men for trafficking jumping jacks.
It was a despicable law. For as far back as I can remember I lit fireworks on the 4th of july.
Little shit, nothing crazy. You know, some whistlers, saturn missles, assorted cakes, fountains, firecrackers, pinwheels and helicopters. My pops used to bring home garbage bags full and we used to go down to my unc's house and light every last one of them. Those days are long gone.

I'll leave you with some firework pics. These are the one's live from NY, which is televised on NBC across the country.

America: We're number one and not a Gotdamn thing can be done about that. I read somehweres about a group of miners in 1880s Colorado wanting to set off fireworks on the 4th and the city said no, so they (the miners) blew up the post office. And they say New Yorkers are punchy.
