Yay! 2013 4th of July Fireworks!

tout-fireworks

Seven years, my friends. Seven years of hopping in the car late at night, driving up I-5 to Vancouver, Washington, running The Gauntlet™ (45.1 MB), and visiting Blackjack Fireworks to check out the colorful, poetic, lost-in-translation, Corel-driven beauty of the latest fireworks packaging.

To catch up, please enjoy 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Here’s to more good stuff, because I’m…

    I believe the copyright infringement in the “One Way Street” firework package is of The Neverending Story’s “Rockbiter”

  2. Andy Baio

    I don’t think the Rock Biter ever wielded a chainsaw.

    Fireworks make loud noizes (reports) and frighten small children and pets (even zoo animals). Be sure you place on ground, light fuze and run away or hide in a bunker. Do you have a bunker? Keep a bucket of water close at hand too.

    Under the “Literal Nightmare” category, i do believe that’s the vampire Strahd from the D&D Ravenloft setting.

    @ps238principal yea it totally is Lord Von Zarovich himself

    @Frank Bromley: Now I want to run a campaign where he randomly surprises the players with fireworks before attacking.
