excellent, i always knew my sister was funny, but famous? i'll have to hit her up for some money.

Perhaps your aunt was responsible for the story's embellishments ... you'll have to castigate her severely. The reporter may have actually just reported.

lookout123 · 12-28-2004, 01:06 PM

it's possible i suppose. i'll have to beat the truth out of her, next time i go to illinois.

Praise Jesus and pass the elephants.

Glad to hear that your sis is alright, Lookout. Some very, very scary stuff going on over there.

Worst thing: Me closing the Manifestos here.

Best thing: Me deciding to stay here and hang out with you guys...you're welcome.

Not a great video but good enough to get an idea.

From rooftop looking down on Patong Beach, Thailand:

The beach in the first part of the tape is not the place hit by the wave in the second part; there's an (obvious) splice. That leads me to believe the whole thing may be a fake, though it may be real footage spliced in after some stock footage.

Reuters is reporting that wildlife experts in Sri Lanka are baffled that there are no dead animals. Thousands of humans were killed, but they haven't found any dead wild animals.

You always hear about animals acting freaky just before an earthquake. Maybe all the animals in the wildlife park that got slammed by the waves quietly headed for the hills hours before the waves hit, and nobody noticed.

Originally, I would have said that the worst event this year was the Utah woman that refused to have a C-section, apparently for vanity reasons, and one of the fetuses died.

Then came the incident in Skidmore, MO with the mother-to-be.

Now we've had the earthquake and tsunamis in South Asia.

I have seen and heard some really fucked up things in my 29 years of life...these 3 items are among the worst...the last 2 easily make my all-time top 10.

Oh...the best thing: Regardless of whom you voted for, the elections went relatively well...thank God!

...or so Diebold would have you believe.

Next time lets just ask Rove ahead of time who the President will be and save a few bucks.

How big was the tsunami-causing earthquake? Big enough to make your days a fraction of a second shorter.

I find that fascinating.... not so much that the world wobbled from an earthquake -<small> these things have been happening since the dawn of time, no? and why wouldn't it cause planetary issues?</small>-, but that we have the technology to know and measure em.
