Shot In The Dark: So Off The Grid

So Off The Grid

Still on vacation.

I did get to accomplish one major life goal last night. My whole life, I've wanted to just sit and shoot off a ton of bottle rockets. When I was a kid, Dad wasn't much into bottle rockets, so it wasn't much of an option. Of course, most of past twenty years I've been in Minnesota, where bottle rockets just aren't.

So last night, I bought three gross of them. 400 and change. And I must have shot off most of them. Of course, I'd never dream of bringing the remainder back to Minnesota.

Of course, it'd Dad's birthday today. If you know Dad from wherever, send him your best wishes!

OK. back to work doing pretty much absolutely nothing...

I just imagine you celebrating by firing your automatic weapons into the air?

This is a liberal nanny state. The only thing we get to shoot into the air is a SuperSoaker.

That ain't what Rush was shooting in the Dominican Republic.

After loading up on boner pills, that is.

"That ain't what Rush was shooting in the Dominican Republic."

Jealous?

hey lamey-clown, Rush is an amateur compared to the Kennedys's. He hasn't even managed to kill anyone yet! As to bottle rockets, check this out for bottle-rocket craziness... http://tinyurl.com/lpj62

Best wishes and Happy Birthday to one of the greatest teachers to grace the halls of JHS. Speech class was unequivocally one of the best classes to ever sit through. Unfortunately, I have yet to kick the habit of smoking chalk. Herzlichen Dank!

Considering that Rush said it was a boys vacation... No. Not really. He could have just gone to the 90's during Mardi Gras and saved a few bucks though.

I pray my 14 year old son never sees this video!
