When I was a wee American lad, Roman candle fights were a routine occurrence around the July 4 holiday.

we used to have little firework tanks that you could light and they would drive around shooting fireworks out of their little cannon; you could have them fight! They also had a little american flag coming out of the top that would inevitably catch on fire during the process of going off

Surprised that the phrase "I'm 35 years old, and I love to suck myself off" was spoken on an episode not featuring Tom Walker.

Northern Territory still has fireworks on Territory Day "Territory Day marks the day when the Northern Territory shook off Commonwealth control and achieved self-government in 1978. 'Cracker Night', as the NT's public fireworks night is known, became associated with it a few years later, in the early '80s. Originally held on Guy Fawkes Day, it was moved after the NT parliament decided that date was "inappropriate because it is based on an old English custom ... [and] not celebrated in any other State of Australia"." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-01/why-the-nt-allows-public-fireworks-use-on-territory-day-july-1/101174064
