Tiny Fireworks
Fourth of July: playing in the pool with my neices, reading some Octopus mannies, eating veggie dogs, watching neighbors light off some pretty cool illegal fireworks while we lit our not-quite-so-cool legal fireworks with names like "Mother Nature" and "Winter Storm."
One of my neices made a litle pie today with her mom & later when my mother was telling someone about it she described the pie as "the first pie she has ever made in her life." While the concision lover in me might question the need for the last prepositional phrase, it creates a kind of ominous tone. As if she has a life of pie making to burden her forever forward.
Some names for fireworks I thought up that I don't have the wherewithal to put into use so if you are a fireworks manufacturer feel free to use them for no fee:
The Salt Flats
Cat Burglars
Plaid Shorts
Bowtie Pasta
The Tweakers Upstairs
Larry Hoffman
O'Rourkes Regulars
Sneezy Puppies
A Bunch of Crappy Sparks & One Whistle
Nuclear Weapons
Isabel Sanford
Sherman Hemsley
Marla Gibbs
Roxie Roker
Franklin Cover
Paul Benedict
Second Degree Burns

I think superman had it right. To hide your identity you don't wear a mask.

lawn salvo: i'm adding to your list.
having spent my fourth ohhh july hiking around some national park in va, eating a cheese steak in phillie, receiving sparkling volleys ("lawn salvos") from highway-abutting-housing-complexes and nodding off while driving on the nj tpk, i can say the true spirit of american styled liberty is returning to your brooklyn apartment free from the tyranny of the quartering act and pissing the poop stains off your very own toilet . . . that you share with a disgustingly vile roommate.
road head fits into this model as well.
you forgot Eggs Benedict and Banger Banger.
