DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. – A South Carolina man was killed after trying to “show off” with fireworks at a Fourth of July party Thursday night.
When deputies with the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office arrived at a neighborhood block party in Summerville at 10:23 p.m., they found a man lying in the roadway suffering from major head injuries.
Witnesses told deputies the injuries were from a fireworks accident.
The coroner later said the victim, 41-year-old Allen Ray McGrew, had ignited a large firework on top of his head. Witnesses told investigators he was wearing a large top hat, and put the firework on top of the hat before lighting it. The device exploded, causing “massive head injuries.”

Sad, in many ways. But still I feel he's worthy of a posthumous Darwin Award nomination. Per Wiki:

"The criterion for the awards states: "In the spirit of Charles Darwin, the Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives. Darwin Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chances of long-term survival."

Unfortunately, some people died because they didn't get away with a single lapse in judgement. Think about all the stupid shit we got away with in our younger years, yet we are still here.

That’s the only way to fix stupid. I wonder if his last words were, “Hold my beer.”
 
A dramatic evening at Impact Field last night where the Chicago Dogs defeated the visiting Kane County Cougars 18-12! The Cougars were up 12-11 going into the bottom of the 8th inning!
