Hooray for Fireworks
We have heat-seeking missiles, the ability to travel in space, to clone animals, yet the most advanced technology we have in fireworks is making boxes and smiley faces. Please explain.

what about the slow floaters? they would slowly float up,
then slowly descend, then slowly float up again, sparkling all the while. tell me that sucks. go ahead.

I think the standard fare was pretty cool, I was so close that car alarms were being set off from the sound. But yeah, the cubes and shit were lame. I mean, we live in the year two thousand and fucking six. Movies in the eighties told us we’d have flying cars and shit, but the best we can do is cubes. CUBES. I’m just happy Marty McFly never saw this.
