    I heard that a request was put to the functioneers to play recordings of firecrackers instead of blowing them off, and was hoping to witness this improbable feat last nite in Ctown, but no, it was the same old tradition, but much less. Will anybody be doing recordcrackers? Kung hee fat doobie!

                No wonder.

                The drones might attack you if you light some fireworks.
