Joey's Explosion of the Day



"Not all explosions are visible displays of fire, combustion, and things that make you go hmmm. Some explosions are the opposite of volcanos. They don't shoot up from the earth; they shoot down from the Lord. The Holy Ghost explosion is one of the most rare kinds of explosions. You are not always aware you are witnessing a Holy Ghost Explosion. Luckily this YouTube footage captures these rare occurances in action." -- Joey Coombe

Joey's Explosion of the Day: March 16

"TJ,

The Civil War was a very important war. America lost a lot of brave men on both sides. Historians recently recovered this footage of the infamous Battle of Raleigh, which was a turning point of the war. Some say, it was the fourth turning point of the war. When union soldiers marched onto this estate in Raleigh and ordered its owner to surrender or else, the owner replied, "Or else, what?" That's when the General responded with a cannon fire so devestating, it exploded his entire house. It actually took at long time to walk back to the cannon and set it up, load it and wait for it to fire. The owner of the house stood on his porch yelling at the soldiers to answer him goddammit before finally the cannon fired. " -- Joey Coombe

Joey's Explosion of the Day: March 12



"This Canadian explosion, while inferior to American explosions, offers a unique explosion-perspective. The foregrounding of birds in this shot contrasts the natural with man-made, the man-killed with the man-blown up. Although Canadians have good beer and healthcare, their comedians wear dresses and their explosions are half-assed. Blow up a whole bulidng Canadia!" -- Joey Coombe

Congratulations to Joey Coombe as his new compelling series, Explosion of the Day, just happens to be the content of the 50th post here at Open All Night. May we post 50 more times, and then maybe 50 more after that!

"The special effects are so '96, but this classic explosion will have you nostalgic for a time when you could only see american monuments blown up in movies." -- Joey Coombe
