What's that? Oh, no, I wouldn't think of taking those fireworks into New Jersey, any more than I would think of pumping my own gas up there. No, no, my friend: I make it a point to conform with all applicable state and local laws as I traverse this great land of ours (the US of A, if you please). Mind you, I sometimes think the Garden State is overly maternal, with its constant legislative quest for a risk-free environment. But when in Rome, do like the Romans do -- even if the Romans are major bores, alas. (Sometimes I think the state flag of New Jersey should feature an obese housewife with her arms crossed as she menacingly holds a rolling pin above her tightly fitting apron. But then I'm allowed these uncharitable thoughts from time to time, since I myself was born in this state. There: the secret's out!)

Firework fans will get a bang out of the following incendiary opus of Brian Quass

Operation: Jersey Sparler

Fourth of July Fireworks in New Jersey

Remedial Patriotism 101










Crossword puzzle book -- check.

Electric toothbrush -- check.

Cheap MP3 player that keeps giving me lousy "read errors" -- check.





By the way, I've created an interactive crossword puzzle (July Birthdays) for you lot to solve while I'm away. (Oh, don't mention it!) It features the names of celebrities born in the month of July.



Let's see, now:



Socks -- check.

Shoes -- check.

Unmentionables -- check (underwear, I mean, not fireworks!)





So let's all meet back here on page 1 of Quass.com on Monday, July 7, 2003, when I'm back from my law-abiding trip to New Jersey, okay? (Honestly, I wouldn't think of setting off so much as one sparkler in the Garden State, much less lighting a "black snake" or -- horror of horrors -- a "sparkle cone" -- which, I still don't know why it's any of their business, though....)

pOetry cOrner: Sparkler, Sparkler, Burning Bright
Sparkler, Sparkler, Burning Bright
by Chumley Egghead
Inspired by Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright by William Blake
Sparkler! Sparkler! burning bright,

In New Jersey late at night,

Who's the bureaucratic lout,

That would try to put you out?



What state senator benighted,

Doesn't want you being lighted?

What old bureaucrat in Trenton

Wants to make our parties Lenten

By denying us your sheen,

(for the holidays, I mean)



And if the cops enforce the law,

Who will wrench thee from my paw?

Who will steal the awestruck smile,

From the peepers of my child,

Ere with soft staccato sizzle

You yourself decide to fizzle?



Sparkler! Sparkler! burning bright,

In New Jersey late at night,

Who's the bureaucratic lout,

That would try to put you out?
