As your Emperor to Be, I proclaim that once I take office, fireworks and other annoyingly loud noises will be prohibited between 10 pm and 9 am, except on certain holidays.  Exemption permits for midnight weddings and other special events may be acquired for a reasonable fee and will require notifying all residents within a 500 meter radius.

I strongly protest, Premperor. We should be free to set off large dangerous exploding objects any time we're drunk enough. th_ag

I approached regular fireworks by being glad it was only fireworks, and not something horrible like apartment remodeling, barium enemas, or Celine Dion songs.

The Chinese always want to play Celine Dion songs when they find out I'm Canadian. They are surprised when my reaction is to cover my ears and scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Being seriously drunk might be an adequate defense, depending on what you're blowing up with the fireworks.  Exploding a goat (or a ferret) will be permitted 24/7/365, but please have the courtesy to invite everyone to come and watch.

As your Emperor, I will bad Cilene Dion songs.  Celine will be permitted to live - if she agrees to never sing again.  All copies of that Titanic theme song will be loaded onto a large cruise ship that will then be rammed into an iceberg so we can all watch with joy as it sinks. th_ag


Someone set of a tiny little pack of firecrackers at about 5:30 this morning.  Couldn't have been more than 12 in the pack and it lasted less than 2 seconds.  Kind of makes me wonder that the hell is the point of getting up that early just to set off so few. th_m

There was that amusing question in Game of Thrones: "Which do you favour, your fingers or your tongue?" No wait, we don't want to give CD that choice. No, can't take that risk, not with her.

Perhaps I will keep one copy of that Titanic song.  It will be played on an endless loop in the dark dungeons that house any Canadians who have displeased me. th_u

Then, kind sir, your despotism knows no bounds for that is truly a cruel and unusual punishment. I beseech thee, show mercy and grant that I be drawn and quartered... or flayed alive.

Every night here in downtown Hangzhou at the moment. Not sure how long it's been going on, I'm oblivious to these things most of the time so it could've been going on for a while.
