It's kinda meh right here, the illegal stuff sounds like a bomb going off... it is a bomb going off actually now I think about it. Ah well, you don't want to be a veteran with PTSD on new years eve in the Netherlands, that's for sure.

 

[BookWyrm]

Same thing here.

The dutch, in total, spend 70 million on fireworks, and this isn't companies or for shows, we're talking normal people.

;; Here, the firework shows only really happen after baseball (or maybe just all sports games? I really dunno, I've only held out on one occasion that I can remember) games and the Fourth of July, and even then they're strategically mapped out and very very complicated.

 

[BookWyrm]

They happen ever night at close in Dollywood. If you get the last ride on the wild eagle they stop you at the top of the slope and let you watch the firework show before they drop you.

 

[InsanEleven]

Nah, here's a dutchman's checklist on how to do fireworks:

• Does it say boom?
  
• Does it go up in the air or can you throw it?
  
• Does it have a conveniently placed fuse?
  

If yes to all (or any) of these, then you can light it.


Occasionally more thought goes into it, then it requires a fourth point:

• Does it go boom more than my neighbours?
  

If yes, then you DEFINITELY have to light it.

 

[BookWyrm]

Here is the Southern American's firework checklist.


-Does it go boom?(obvious for both nationalities)


-How does it go boom?


-Can I blow up a stump with it?


-Can I launch it out of my potato gun


I've personally done the last one. It was awesome.

 

[InsanEleven]

We don't really have potato guns... we just shoot the metal tops off of milk drums, it sounds like a cannon. Probably is a bit more lethal than a potato gun too.

Checklist of Northern Americans~~


~ Do you live in a somewhat crowded area? If so, is it a neighborhood or a cityscape?


~ Does it go boom?


~ If you answered both of the above questions with a yes, then you'll probably get arrested for some kind of public disturbance or something if you set it off.

 

[BookWyrm]

I don't know about that. We shot a plastic bottle out of it one time. It vaporized the bottle.

Well, it is made for potatoes.

That is why I love living away from big cities. We get so many more liberties when we don't have to worry about something catching the neighbors house on fire xD

 

[BookWyrm]

Well, it is made for potatoes.

It was one of those hard plastic vap-o rub bottled too. So not only did we vaporize it, we also cleared up our sinuses.

 

[InsanEleven]

Lol, I suppose we're both boom-crazed pyromaniacs, that's all we're getting from this conversation really xD

 

[InsanEleven]

I am pretty confident this would vaporize your bottle too though:

No wonder we get along. xD Even if you are the pesky, aggravating Dutchman that asks too many questions about dragons.


BTW, that video is awesome.

 

[InsanEleven]

Well then you shouldn't be the smartass, arrogant dragon that never answers them (:<)


And I know it is awesome, we Dutchmen have many repressed feelings about booms that we can't pour into guns like you do. So we found other ways to legally blow stuff up, and then once a year we go batshit insane and blow up half the country, keeps us satisfied for quite a while.

 

[BookWyrm]

We seem to have ended the year at a stalemate. Well played Dutchman. Well played.

 

[InsanEleven]

I should get into chess or something, too bad they don't have a dragon piece. But if they had then I'd probably argue against it (>u>)

 

[InsanEleven]

Maybe you get a chance to roast me well done in 2016

 

[BookWyrm]

Nonsense. I have yet to make the acquaintance of many plucky Dutchman such as yourself. I'd much rather be able to have an amusing conversation over chess and tea rather than well done European steak any day of the week.

 

[InsanEleven]

Hurray, I'm plucky! All my aspirations in life have been fulfilled!


I used to be with the chess club before it got dissolved actually, so I know what each piece does.

 

[InsanEleven]

I'm just wondering if we're going to need a really big kettle and cup for your tea. The dutch only have teeny tiny little cups, they're too small even for humans really

 

[Dragongal]

Northern American's:


- Does it go boom?


If yes, it's illegal, drop that shit before the cops find you. Or, if it's a holiday:


- Is it a big boom?


- Does it leave a trail in the sky pointing to your house?


If yes to either, don't light it.

Guns are actually not that easy to get in the US. Especially in a city. Especially in the North

Nah, Americans just throw our tea in the harbor.
