Relieved at the inconsequential outcome, to say the least.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 07:10 PM) Would this really matter at all even if the kid did fall out of the balloon? I can't even believe you could type that with a straight face. Harsh.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 06:36 PM) why? Because most Floridians are either idiots or nutjobs, which i can attest to.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 06:29 PM) Hahaha. How was this not known five minutes after the search began? This kid must be awesome at hide and seek. the older sibling who confirmed seeing the kid get in and fly away is what put the urgency into following the balloon and leaving a ground search for later. That is the kid who needs to be grilled over this.

What a releif!

Leaped or fell out is my guess if he really ever was in it.

If you're talking about the Ralph Macchio (sp?) movie, this list only goes back to 2000. If you're talking about the Britney Spears attempt at a movie, you are a very brave man for admitting you saw that.

'Ti Punch with St. James Royale Ambre was qite nice as well, but now that 'm catching up on Mad Men I had to ho with Don Draper's preferred drin, rye and rocks. Don't know what brand Don drinks, but since I need to be armed and ready to mix up authentic sazarec cocktails as needs be, Old Overholt is the rye on hand here.

That just sounds so cool I had to post it. Extrapolating on this, I could have said my doctoral research findings were so reality-shaking they caused the universe to reset and then I wouldn't have actually had to do the work. Damn!

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 08:21 AM) I picked up a 6-pack of O'Fallon Pumpkin Beer this weekend. Wow. Probably the best pumpkin beer around, IMO. Missouri brewery, yes? That's one that comes nowhere near me, sadly. I had the Post Road Pumpkin Ale last night. It was pleasant but didn't knock my socks off. Still have a Dogfish Head Punkin in the fridge. Right now it's Depaz Blue Cane rhum agricole, with a dollop of cane syrup and a twist of lime juice and lime oil. 'Ti Poonch!!

Zorro could have dissected the hell out of zebra butterflies.

X-ACTO Knives are good for dissecting insects.

QUOTE (G&T @ Oct 14, 2009 -> 05:43 PM) I think it's "Husband and Knives." Season 19, Episode 7. I've never seen it, but Googling is good for stuff. Google you say? Sounds useful, I think I'll look it up on the Internet.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 14, 2009 -> 05:31 PM) http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/10...nedy-lanes.html Are people held accountable when incidents such as this happen? It's a major inconvenience, and certainly one that shouldn't have happened. I have several clout relatives in road construction (one for a company in Chicago that would have benefited greatly from the Olympics), and I haven't met one that said there's any accountability in the job. If they screw up, they're only paid more to make up for their problems. You wonder, where's the motivation to do quality work? My grandfather was part of the construction crew that screwed up the original LSD "S" curve. Younger Soxtalkers have no idea how bad that curve was before the 1980s reconstruction job. The way he told the story, there was a crew working northward and another crew working southward, and when they realized the road wasn't going to meet up correctly they just put in this horrendous jog to get them to join together. Good work there, Gramps!

No episode officially with that title. Here's the Episode Quicklist for you to scan and see if it jogs anything.

Our Insect Overlords have arrived.

I think the negative health aspects of cigarettes is already well-established.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 14, 2009 -> 01:22 PM) This is a myth that people get carried away with. He's a reliable liberal vote on everything except when it comes to wars/Israel. What about health care? Thought so.
