1.) Watching a distant relative who owes you money, choking on a hunk of beef they neglected to actually chew on before swallowing.
2.) Seeing the skin of a beautiful young woman glisten in the light of the hot sun.
3.) Ambushing people with an impromptu water pistol fight.
4.) Watching my dad at a cookout go back for seconds/thirds/fourths, when he hasn't even finished everything on his plate yet. Can't help but laugh when he's bowled over in pain with a stomach ache later in the day.
5.) Poorly timed trash talk in pick up basketball games.
Example: Somebody yelling "aaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrr bbbaaaaaaawwwwwwlllllll!!!!!" Right before I drain the Three.
6.) Not being cooped up inside. I hate that stupid groundhog. Seems like he always sees his bloated, saggy shadow. Six extra weeks of winter just seems a little excessive to me.
7.) Seeing some other dude who fits the description of Mr. Cool strike out when talking to a beautiful girl. It's all because he ran out of deodorant...and Dr. Scholl's...and clean socks.
"Ain't enough AXE in the world to cover up that funk!"
Heh.
8.) new July 4th themed videos of morons doing weird stuff with fireworks. I present to you exhibit A:
Stupid Firework
that was uploaded in 2006. I'm sure a 2009 version would be at least thrice as epic in it's stupidity.
feel free to drop a comment and add on to the list.

8 minions chirped:
I thought the best thing was all the young shirtless boys running by my house.
Fireworks do seem to bring out the stupid.
"aaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrr bbbaaaaaaawwwwwwlllllll!!!!!"
OK, sorry about that, I thought it was cool.
I hope you let the distant relative know.
Nothing's better than people doing foolish stunts with firecrackers and being punished for their stupidity. I like to think the founding fathers have a good chuckle each and every time.
I hate that F*#ing groundhog too!!! I even posted a nasty ass blog about him a while back (like, maybe, right after Grounghogs day...) Though I think he might be laughing in my face right now as I "sunbathe" in 60 degree rain showers...
ahhh july!
not sure i can find anything that glorious about it yet, 'cause i'm just trying to keep my kids from killing each other on summer break while i have to still work.

I actually love it when some slob chokes in a restaurant. I know the Heimlich but I'm not sure if I'd ever use it. Let 'em choke--especially if they owe you money.
#2 applies year around for me.
Love the choking relative comment. Poetic justice, ey?
My favorite things about July...hmmm. Sparklers. Gin and tonic. Raw clams. My son's birthday parties (my birthday is in the winter so finally we get to celebrate outdoors). Sangria. Peepers. And rum.
I love that watching a relative choke is number one on your list. It would be on mine too.
Favorite thing overheard at the fireworks last night: "Rachel, honey, watch the fireworks. Watch the fireworks, Rachel! Stop talking and watch. RACHEL SHUT UP!"
