"And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air"
Some of those bombs did not burst in the air, they blew Brits to piece.
My great great great......grandpappy was all lit up red with one of those rockets, miliseconds before he was in ripped in several pieces

I tend to tune out background music. Watched the 4th of July DC fireworks from Fort Myer, was happily dozing on my pillow waiting for the start when I opened my eyes and realized everyone was standing and had their hand on their heart. Bit rude I know but once I apply for citizenship I'll make myself pay more attention.

Someone finally gave him an umbrella and he thanked us all profusely. Good guy. I can never hear about or think about the Heimlich maneuver without hearing "Hoocha hoocha hoocha.....LOBSTER" in my head.

I adore Eddie Izzard. Saw him in Chicago last year and he stood in the pouring rain afterward to answer questions from people hanging out around his bus. (The group I was with kinda stalked him) Someone finally gave him an umbrella and he thanked us all profusely. Good guy.
