Alcohol & Fireworks!

[Tukaram (Tim)]

After a very hectic and unproductive day I bought liquor and fireworks! The mortars are weird - the explosive is built in to the tube, we shall see. And fireworks are a lot more expensive here than the US. I have brandy, rum, roman candles, mortars, fountains, some odd triangle explosives. (200 loose ones, and 2 chains of them), sparklers, bottle rockets, I am not sure what some of this stuff is though... as long it burns or explodes we will be fine!  Getting ready for the New Years party at uncle's house  :tiphat:

And then I got home to find my dive magazine from DAN, and a check for p3,000 waiting for me in the mail. So all in all I would say a good day ha ha   (OK, $70 check really - but same thing)

As long as they don't blow up any person and put fire on any house  :)

Yeah... all i need is for a bottle rocket (they call em river rockets) to come down on my nipa ha ha! 

 

I tested the rum last night - I will be testing fireworks tonight. And emperador is lousy brandy so no need to test it....      :tiphat:

I think that Tuka has been here too long now. He is becoming one of them! Take a break Tuka and go back to Dallas for awhile. I hope that he hasn't started pissing on the walls yet.

As for Emperador Light, I think it is false alcohol content, not near the strength stated on the bottle. I like the Emperador Deluxe better (it is imported from Spain and still at 155p) or the Fundador. There are 2 brands of tequila here that are nothing but flavored alcohol.

I'm in Baguio and I heard it gets very crazy!  We have a nice overlook of one of the valleys and should have a good view.  The family usually waits until the last minute to buy fireworks because that is when you can get the best prices.

 

I remember when I was in my early 20's living in Hermosa Beach, CA, we had a party on 4th of July, and literally had a bottle rocket war with a group parked across the street from our house.  When you are young, dumb and drunk you don't think about consequences!   :bash:  And they were all illegal fireworks.

When I read the topic title I thought the post would be about how fireworks and drinking alcohol don't mix. Might still be right yet  :)  What are we up to now, about 170 hurt and still a few days to go before new years eve.

 

Anyway enjoy, I think in a few years time these fireworks will be banned for public use where they are in some parts of the Philippines already.

Of course I do!  I was in the city yesterday and walking down  a small street - not much more than an alley - and had to pee.  Luckily there was a pile of broken cement and barbed wire...  :tiphat:

- and had to pee.  Luckily there was a pile of broken cement and barbed wire

 

That pile of broken cement and barbed wire is what used to be a wall. See what pee does! Bawal umihi dito.
