4) [dihutenosa] 19-12-2007(23): [+mspertus] My friend is too afraid of loud noises, so while we go out to enjoy the sparklers and fireworks on New Years, he stays at home and watches everything on TV so he can have a vicarious experience. Just the sight of them freaks him out though, so he watches with the volume low and his fingers firmly planted in his ears.
5) [Nukemarine] 3-12-2007(10): Old southern joke. It was a VICARIOUS situation, the man lights a firecracker (SPARKLES), then stuck his FINGER in his EARS to prepare for the boom. Sadly, he was still holding the firecracker.
