Saturday night I was down in Arthur, watching what absolutely must be the best fireworks show I've ever seen. They had skydivers, paragliders, a helicopter, and an awesome barrage of pyrotechnics. How a town that small can put on a show of those proportions is a mystery- they put all of the West and Northwest suburbs to shame.
The most interesting part, however, occured shortly after a barrage of orange and blue fireworks. A spotlight lit up a figure standing atop the bleachers at the football stadium. He appeared to be wearing Native American dress and had his arms raised as if signaling a touchdown. The crowd yelled something that rhymed with "beef."
It's been 36 hours, and the fecal storm I expected has yet to materialize, so i figured I'd go ahead and poke that hornets' nest...
