Scoring:
More than 20–You’re a Hollywood special effects technician with a business card that says “I blow shit up for a living.” You burned down your high school.
15-20–For reasons only you can explain you double majored in film studies and chemistry and still have most of your fingers. You burned down your parents’ garage.
10-14–You like movies and always find the best parking spot for your local Fourth Of July celebration. You’re in charge of the fire when camping.
5-9–You watch your local Fourth Of July celebration on the morning news on the fifth of July. You burn yourself on the stove every time you cook.
1-4–Soup commercials make you cry and you once burned yourself with a glow stick.
All fireworks are currently commercially available and trademarked by their respective manufacturers.
I got most of them, but A Gnome Named Gnorm stumped me! I couldn’t tell if it was fireworks, a buddy film, or a horror movie about a garden gnome that comes to life and terrifies its owners!

I’m pretty sure A Gnome Named Gnorm is terrible, but I want to see it anyway. And if it were a brand of fireworks I’d want to buy a dozen and blow them up. Actually if I ever get around to watching A Gnome Named Gnorm I’ll probably want to blow it up too.
I should just keep a mirror by my computer. Yes, I know there are other ways, but my way is faster (and easier for me).
Keeping a mirror handy actually sounds like a pretty good solution, especially if you’re using a laptop or tablet.
I was amazed at how many I got correctly. I didn’t keep count. I was just impressed that I got so many. This was amazing and fun! I hope you do this again with other topics! Happy 4th of July, my friend! Mona
I’m glad you liked this! And I’ve got a whole category of these pop quizzes.
People have been setting off all ten of those nearby for weeks, Chris, and we’re all saying, “Donkey balls!” Thanks for another illuminating post.

I think “Donkey balls!” is everyone’s new favorite expression.
