I do this everyday at home; online poker ftw.  

Hmm. A good suggestion, but I'm kinda worried I wouldn't be able to communicate with the locals.  

It's an awesome suggestion...I wish I had figured that out when I was younger....and you can get by with English almost anywhere, even before the advent of smart phones and google translate.

A friend of mine went to cosmetology school and when he would tell new people where he was going to school they would assume he was gay.  I thought he was a genius. he was one of 2 straight males to graduate in his class of 29 females...

[Brandon]

Absolutely. 30k a year to possibly bang some chicks.

The problem with going to cosmetology school is that when you graduate you're a cosmetologist. Kind of a dealbreaker

Yep, eventually he'll find "the one" get married and still be a cosmetologist.

The guy makes 90k a year and picks the hours he works. Sounds pretty good to someone who got a business degree, works an 8-5 and I make half that amount...Also, my degree took 4 years when his took 18 months.

Plus he looks fabulous.

It's dusk.  Not even dark outside yet. 

And it sounds like we are a city under siege, and being attacked.  So many fireworks, in a city (LA) that doesn't sell fireworks.

[Tank]

The more  illegal fireworks become, the more people fire them off. I'm amazed we don't have more house fires on this night, especially since the illegal ones seem to be really big and a whole lot more powerful than our old street ones.

That said, I miss the days as a kid when we could buy them freely and everyone would set them off in the street in front of their house. It was a neighborhood event, and it was a normal, fun thing everyone did.

[gotbeer]

I remember a street over, they would have a fireworks party, blocking off the cul de sac.  People would treat it like a pot luck, and everyone would bring out chairs and tables.  Kids would decorate their bikes and have a kids parade.  Then everyone would chip in and buy like $200 worth of fireworks (which back then was like arming the Iraqi army)  Whoever was doing it was creative too.  He'd like set it up, with props and made some wooden spinners and stands.  While nothing was shooting up in the sky, those safe and sane fireworks were pretty spectacular when set up with some effort.

Then a few years later, the county said we could not block off the street, and couldn't have a party in the cul de sac without special permits. 

[Blarg]

We had the same experience in Chino many years back. Our cul de sac didn't block off the street but everyone gathered out front with barbecues,  kids running wild playing tag or using a slip and slide and splash pools. 

Then as soon  as the sun set we would light off our collection of fireworks and when we ran out it was ice cream time as we watched from lawn chairs the cities display from over the high school. 

Then we moved to San Dimas only to find our they don't allow fireworks. Fourth of July was ruined.

High ankle sprains are extremely painful.

i always wonder what the guys from snoop dog's hood think of when they see him doing shows like family feud or the $20,000 pyramid. from hard core rapper/OG to doing network tv game shows. same with ice cube.

[Brandon]

It's about getting paid and brand recognition. Reminds me of Metallica when Lars hit the nail on the head that they were so successful and had so much money that they could essentially do whatever they wanted, how they wanted.

Being cool doesn't pay the bills. A lot of bangers even tell people to do good things and make something of themselves, not succumb to the streets.

But quite the random thought.
