So apparently a friend of mine knows an SG up in Pennsylvania. He told me her name, but I blanked somewhere between then and now. It started with an 'M' and I'm pretty sure there was an 'r' somewhere in there, but other than that I don't remember. It's entirely possible that he told me her real name and not her SG name, as well.
So... fourth of July... fireworks! Me and some friends went up to Wheaton to see them at the mall, which we actually got to do this year since we managed to avoid having to visit the Bethesda PD. Long story short, bubble tea aka tapioca tea, Rockville Pike, carful of hyper people, yours truly and an abso-fucking-lutely beautiful shot (of one of the tapioca balls... they're about half an inch in diameter) across two lanes, etc... etc... we ended up getting off scott-free because of an absolutely transparent cover story (I'm convinced that BPD officers are dumb as bricks now). Seriously, by the end of the "interview", so to speak, we had the cops apologizing to us for the whole thing. It was a veritable pinnacle of mischief making and several people have actually declared me their hero because of that incident.
Anyway... more fireworks... we went out somewhere in Burtonsville and found a nice secluded spot to set off some off our own. At the end we set off an "artillery", aka a little setup with a 5 by 5 grid of "rockets" (the thing looks kinda like the rocket setup on the top of the Dead Reckoning in "Land of the Dead"). The guy who got the fireworks said that they were small and only made a pop kinda noise, but they ended up going very high, making a long shrill whistle and then a rather loud bang. Of course, once we set it off, too, there was no practical way of stopping all 25 from going off. So at first it was just kinda "okay, cool", but after 5 to 10 (they went off a few seconds apart) we realized "oh shit, this is going to attract anyone in the area right to us", so we all bolted for the car and got everything packed up really clumsily and sped the fuck out of there. We could still hear the last of the rockets going off for a minute or so as we left. I wish we could've gotten a video of the mad rush to get out of there... it was seriously priceless.
Nothing like blowing shit up with some friends for a night of fun.
