Confusion reigns over fireworks

With just seven days left until July 4th festivities, fireworks vendors outside the city limits are open for business.

Oh my, I hope this does not cause any fires in the state. Little boys have been shooting rockets all over on my street.

Non sequitur much?

The legality or illegality of fireworks never seems to make much difference in the extent of setting off fireworks here.

Anyway, there is so much dry and dead stuff in NM that it is kind of inevitable that it will burn. All those dead pinons are a good example.

The clown you were responding to would not understand non sequitur if he had 10 lifetimes to try and grasp the concept. My suggestion is to leave him be and try not to feed the trolls.

Well now, Aristotle has been pretty much discredited on everything he ever had to say about anything! And to try and substitute a poorly framed Latin phrase for erudition is really … well, let me say where I went to school the nuns would have beat me silly with a yardstick for putting an “of” in my homework! Yikes! And Aristotle was Greek! OMG! Now – go to the corner and pull down your pants for punishment – use the passive paraphrastic for this construction! You dolt! Expose your wet and windy priest hole for the impediments of the the sacrament! Cast out your demons! Learn Greek like the elite Romans did! And you too, Brutus! You dirty boy you!

As on-sequiter was brought up I figured that Latin was the direction we were heading. You sure have gone right into the vulgarity. I feel pity for you for having to endure such horrible sexual molestation at the school you attended. I truly hope that you have not allowed it to dominate your life. As for being discredited you will need to show me some examples as so far I have seen none. Have a good night!

Was anyone else smart enough to realize the homonym in the headline?

Your welcome that I'm intelligent enough to point it out for you dolts.

I was kind of shocked they didn't spell it "reins," actually.

Oh, and it's "you're" welcome. This is a contraction of "you are."

Since we're posting quotes, I saw a great one on Twitter this evening (and no, I don't generally read Twitter).

"Thunder is good, thunder is impressive. But it is lightning that does all the work." -Mark Twain

I'm a big Twain fan but that one, if correctly attributed, is new to me.

Oh, and also, "Aristotle," it's "recognize" the homonym.

It really is a losing game to try to impersonate other users here. We are too few, and too easily recognizable in style.

That would be the first I have heard that one also.

Apparently I somehow got under his skin and so he has nothing better to do then to try and trash me. Makes me wonder what I would be doing if I did not have a life either.

Let me just add that I do have a purpose other than spending time on these forums.

I'll let you less gifted try and figure that out without my help.
