The Nine Elevens are back!!! 

Holy shit!
I just turned on the tv and our news showed the incident.
They said an old lady died and all...

DAMN! 

my B loosetongue.
I farted.
sorry about the "dirt"

I got the day off. I think friday I am off too.
/crosses fingers 

It was an asbestos pipe.

LT, hope you're ok. 

this sucked.

I was on the train when it happened - in Grand Central

Everyone thought the Chrysler Building blew up. It sucked even more trying to get out of Grand Central this morning. They had one exit and one entrance to Grand Central open - took about a half hour to get the hell out of there. 

Anyone find out what the steam pressure of the pipe was? I just like to know how high they go under the roads. We use 150# and when a large 10" or 12" line breaks, you want to be as far as possible, plus you won't be able to hear much for a few days.

This has help remind our operators how dangerous this lines are and the damage they cause if you mess up. 

Uh-Oh 

depression, anxiety, neuroses

Uh oh...

The overall risk remains very low.

Whew... 

I'll fucking eviscerate with a butter knife anyone who says souping makes you psychotic. 

Oh, and THIS JUST IN! 

Its geniustwin fault. 

I would need to be drunk in order to think blasting myself into space was a good idea. 

The shuttle does have a pretty bad service record. 

what are they going to do, cancel a multi-million dollar project because 1 or 2 guys show up tipsy. most of the folks aren't required for take off anyway. and would likely sober up before they were needed for anything. 

I know this shouldn't be funny but.....

see, thats how the john benefits from using a pimp instead of freelancing. 

within the standard 12-hour "bottle-to-throttle" rule

Heh... I'd rather them be drunk than hungover. B'sides, don't they medicate the astronauts like they (used to) medicate pilots during war? 

The prince says he was mugged by three armed women after they stopped him and asked to take a picture with him.

Is that code for "I picked up some hookers and got robbed"? 

The prince says he was mugged by three armed women after they stopped him and asked to take a picture with him.

There's three-armed women in California?!?! 

I like the bottom five reasons the best. 

Bottom Five Reasons To Have Sex For Women

1. I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease.
2. Someone offered me money to do it.
3. I wanted to get a raise.
4. It was an initiation rite to a club or organization.
5. I wanted to get a job.

Sounds like I need to start my own business/club/organization
And as a benefit...free STD testing.

Jory and Farnaby.
I've been talking to Jory. He's ok.
I don't know about Farn. 

We have a number of Minne Fazers.
CalvinHobbes is in the U.K.
Bobby3eb comes to mind.
Others? 

Farnaby is ok. 

Not to be a jackass, but any bets going on how many news choppers will collide in thier desperate bid to get the best footags?

(I do hope all the people on the bridge are okay, it's the news ghouls I have no pity for) 

You still sounded like a jackass. 

I hope all the Minn fazers are okay.
My thoughts are with you and your families.

I think it's genetic; but the dislike for the media is definately a learned condition 

That would have to be one of my top 3 worst fears in regards to dying.
Speeding along a freeway at 80mph as it collapses into a giant river.
I can't swim, I'd be done. 

You can't swim!??! 

If I'm in the car next to you I'll do my best, tbw...I CAN swim. 

How deep IS the Mississippi there? The AP photos look like the bridge section is just sitting there.

Dude, I'm Canadian. I don't swim, I skate. 

I'm Canadian too, and I managed to learn both skills.

So what happens when you go in water, you just sink?
