So, it was 1 o’ clock in the morning and my mom is sitting at the computer next to the window when boom! Some punks sit fireworks off right in front of our house. scared the living daylights outta me. Thing is, the punks took off before the fireworks even went off… >_<
Well I imagine they took off. I’d do the same thing.
Find out who they are and where they live and repay in the same currency (that is, make them wake up with a boom when they’re sleeping)
Eh… punks?
If no one was hurt then don’t bitch, they coulda hurt people. It’s all just in fun. they benifit from your being scared 
<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Stalk them for many years to come, then, when they least expect it, set their children on fire.
Hahahaha! if some punk kids did that to me, I’d probably follow them, then beat them and inch from death.
Hey, dont knock it, it’s a lot of fun.
Mind telling me exactly how scaring the living daylights out of someone in the middle of the night, is meant to be fun?
Knowing me I would probably have just slept throuh it, unless it was REALLY loud. Then I would chase them down, strap them to a bunch of fireworks, and set them off! (Or at least pretend to, by using fake fireworks!)
I wouldn’t have noticed it if that happened to me. Most of the time, I’m asleep at 1 AM.
Situations like that around here are usually followed by bursts of gunfire and me yelling “Hi-yo silver away!” a lot.

- You’re blowing shit up, and no one’s hurt. That’s fun.
Because scaring the living daylights (at night even) is only a fringe benifit. The main fun factor is setting off fireworks.
Because scaring the living daylights out of everyone at 1 AM is completely stupid and has no fun value whatsoever, and blowing shit up is extremely stupid in itself?
You should live in Norway. Here they’re not allowed to sell fireworks except for on Newyears Eve. Aren’t Norwegians silly? Either that or pure geniouses.
Let’s laugh at them for finding it fun to scare the daylights out of people at 1 am. The fact that they found it fun is what’s fun about it after all.
In Arizona, fireworks are completely illegal, even on 4th of July, New Years, and any others I didn’t mention.
I guess that saves me from such acts.

Just because it’s illegal doesn’t mean they won’t do it…
If you stay on base for awhile, explosions tend to stop affecting you. I hear gun shots (there is a rifle range a couple of miles down the road) and explosions from the impact areas on Pendleton that any explosion doesn’t affect me much anymore. I can tell how close and how threatening it is just from the sound (there are things to listen for prior to exploding that you can hear).
Well, it can be fun when you’re the one doing it. But when you’re the one who was scared not fun at all. -_-;;
Setting off fireworks is illegal in the city limits. And I happen to live in city limits.
But meh, no big deal. My cats were scared more then I was ^_^;;
I just realized certain fireworks are quite loud…whenever they set Canada Day fireworks off every year here they have to take extra precautions to make sure nothing gets set on fire…CC you’re quite fortunate, depending on just how close they blew up in front of your house, that nothing exploded or ignited nearby. Quite a dangerous (but fun) prank. I’m surprised that you didn’t mention that a neighbour or someone didn’t phone the cops.
Actually, if anyone set any fireworks off by my window, it’d probably set the nearby plants on fire, which will soon spread to the lawn, which will spread to the neighbor’s yard, until everything is torched.
But the only people we have to watch out for is the gun freaks. Since they’re drunk off their asses by the time July 4th comes along, and don’t realize that shooting guns off during July 4th is illegal, they scare the living shit out of me. Oh, and did I mention that they live RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE?
