Grab a boat, some jetskis, and a wakeboard. Stop by the G'town waterfront and then go check out the fireworks. Either that or head for the beaches. Those are my viable options.

Nice try, but here are your REAL plans: Suck a boner, quaff many brewskis, attend another family wake. Stop by the G'town Asian massage parlors and then go play with fire and small animals. Either that or beg head from the skank bitches. Who are you kiddin?

I'll be out on jetskis in the daytime, but you can't ride at night. For fireworks, I'll probably be in the Pentagon lot that's across the street from the Air Force Memorial on Columbia. It doesn't get too crowded, and you have a great view of the DC fireworks from the grassy hill.

You could watch fireworks somewhere. But don't go to Vienna, they have casualties at that one.

Yeah, but it's the town's fault for allowing people to watch.

Find some illegal m80s or Cherry bombs.
Hold in your hand while you light them.
Wait until the fuse is almost gone and throw!

When I was a wee lad, I, accidentally, nailed my neighbor's garage door with a mortar shell due to an improvised launching tube. I also have fond memories of smoking out streets with smoke-bombs.
