Y'all just pokin' the bear with a sharp stick, ain't ya', Sommer? Too bad nobody's biting just yet, 'cause this is usually a fun one. I'll take a crack at it:
BAN all private firework possession and exhibition in DC!! There's absolutely no good reason to have them in an urban environment, and those pesky kids just burned down my solid maple, Austrian, art deco lawn gnome!!
I’m sooo incensed that I almost typed that last graf in ALL CAPS.
