They Say It’s Your Earth Day!

April 22, 2024

Happy Earth Day! 

If you want to show the planet some love, THE FLEHMEN RESPONSE will be having its annual Earth Day Bonfire tonight at 8pm (EST). Looks to be a big one this year, so we’ve cut down a few redwoods to light up the night, which should make it pretty damn spectacular. And hey – if you have any old batteries or broken thermometers or anything you can’t recycle like that, bring ’em along and we’ll toss them on the bonfire. That should make for some pretty awesome fireworks!

Happy Earth Day! 

If you want to show the planet some love, we at THE FLEHMEN RESPONSE will be having our annual Earth Day Bonfire Saturday at 8pm (EST)! Looks to be a big one this year, so we’ve cut down a few redwoods to light up the night, which should make it pretty spectacular. And hey, since it is Earth Day and all, if you have any old batteries or broken thermometers or anything you can’t recycle like that, bring ‘em along and we’ll toss them on the bonfire. That should make for some pretty awesome fireworks, I think!

_____ Fourth Of July!

July 4, 2016

I just wanted to wish everyone a safe, happy and enjoyable 4th of July! But if you can’t have a safe, happy and enjoyable Independence Day, I hope you have at least a safe and happy 4th of July! But, okay, sure – if you can’t have a safe and happy Independence Day, I hope you can have at the very least a safe 4th of July. Honestly, just stay safe. Safety first. But, let’s be honest, if you can’t have a safe Independence Day, please remember that if you can locate those missing fingers don’t forget to keep them on ice as you race to the emergency room!
