Today I bring you my thoughts about a news story, straight out of Colorado (Really, where else would this happen?)
I just logged on to my computer and came across this hilarious headline: "A family's runaway experimental balloon aircraft crash-landed in a field after floating away from home for about two hours, but there was no sign of a 6-year-old boy authorities thought had been inside."
Two questions: 1) What kind of family has an experimental balloon aircraft? 2) What would lead these authorities to logically come to the conclusion that the 6 year old boy was inside of this experimental balloon aircraft?
All I can think of right now is the conversation that boy's parents must have had with the police. I will assume it went something like this:
Boy's Mother: "I need to report a missing experimental balloon aircraft. Oh, our 6 year old son is also missing, but don't worry, he's probably safely inside of the experimental balloon aircraft."
Police: "Oh, well as long as it's likely that he's inside of the experimental balloon aircraft, we'll just wait until that crash lands and then we'll pick him up."
I know that it's sad and worrisome that the boy is still missing; now that we know he was not inside of the experimental balloon aircraft, but do we really think that was a reasonable conclusion to have arrived at in the first place? I'm just saying that maybe, just maybe, there should have been a search party organized or an Amber Alert put out. I know this is a terrible thing to say, but all afternoon I've just been thinking: "That's what you get for building an experimental balloon aircraft."
You're Welcome

Jello is 100% DISTURBING. It is not real food, it has the most disgusting texture, and it's just plain sick!

Would the world be a worse place if "Falcon" were never born? Whadda ya wanna bet that the stupid little shit was born in California and moved to Colorado to ruin my state.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Falcon is safe as Stone predicted (well, predicted he wasn't in the experimental balloon). Jello. It looks harmless, sweet, like a squiggly Jolly Rancher. Only it's made from hooves of animals. That stood in shit. And pee. And, I mean, really, who invented it? The most sadistic chef in the universe? Okay, Julia uses gelatin in some recipes, which is in line with her calves brains and tripe recipes. Which I can forgive because of her wonderful wit and other recipes (how was that cake, Rocks)? But Jello still is unbelievably gross. And then they put it in marshmallows which ruins smores. I can go on, but I won't.
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way that bastard Falcon's parents were indeed from California. Just as I predicted. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteScary. Nuf said!
