Looks like Stamford in February for me. I couldn't be any farther away, being in the NE corner of CT, but neither snow nor sleet nor dark of night . . .

I could have been to the FLoP today! But, alas, I'm stuck in training again.

*checks blog charter*
*does not make fun of Toader's name*
I'd just like to note that in certain cultures, peoples surnames used to be derived from their occupation. Smith, Cooper, Wright, Toader, ...

Oh, and Meanie, fabulous family photo.

"He...was flying slowly at about 100 yards from the ground in a standing position."
Well, no wonder he was flying slowly, you get bad aerodynamics when you fly standing up. Not to mention lousy gas milage...

Still sitting here Daveless in Atlanta.
And realizing that line would work a whole lot better if his name had been Ruth.

Good Morning Siouxie!
Posted by: GungaDan | September 20, 2007 at 09:26 AM

Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 09:32 AM
Good mornin' Siouxie. I'm just watching today's batch of transient hummingbirds tanking up at my feeder. Should be in your hood soon...
Posted by: fivver | September 20, 2007 at 09:33 AM
I noticed that CK was suspiciously absent this morning, Siouxie. But are those his specs over there on the blogbar?
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlýff | September 20, 2007 at 09:33 AM
gotta love that attitude, we'll just have to wait and see what happens next!
Posted by: crossgirl the fairy princess pirate wench | September 20, 2007 at 09:33 AM
Last time I saw Clark, we had given him 20 lashes and made him walk the plank.
And then we passed blog grog around for everyone.
Everything's kinda hazy after that, and my mouth tasted kinda funny when I woke up this morning...
Posted by: Nookee | September 20, 2007 at 09:35 AM
Nookee, so that was you next to Hammie's sheep?
nttawwt
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 09:38 AM

Local policeman Ion Anuta said: "We talked to people of different ages who are all reliable citizens in our village.
ION ANUTA??
*will not make fun*
Anuta crazy story which, I believe, involved alcohol.

Shoot, I've been airborne lots of times.
Mostly by mistake.
And I'm not so good at landings.
Posted by: blurk | September 20, 2007 at 09:51 AM
Siouxie, I'd love to come down for the hunt but unfortunately major travel plans are on hold right now. My brother may be needing surgery in Tampa and I'll probably be coming down for that.
Posted by: fivver | September 20, 2007 at 09:52 AM
ahh..well..yeah..THAT's more important.
blurk, lemme guess...Coors (urp) was involved?
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 09:56 AM
Maybe he was the one on the other side of Hammie's sheep, and touched the ram the wrong way.
Posted by: Nookee | September 20, 2007 at 09:59 AM
*blink blink*
Whatever do you mean?
Posted by: blurk | September 20, 2007 at 09:59 AM
Heyyyy, that's MY 'blink, blink.' Give it back.

Damnit, Helga!!git yer drunken @ss outta here already!

Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 10:07 AM
Just don't like someone messin' with my stuff, ya know? Plus it's part of a set.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 20, 2007 at 10:08 AM
Point of clarification: They are not "my" sheep. They belong to the blogbar (much as the rest of us do, but they are more well-behaved). I just feed them, water them, and read them Dave Barry columns at night.

*WAVES @ Hammie!!!!*
hmm sure...but you're quite fond of them...
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 10:12 AM
Are they sure it was Superman?
Posted by: ScottMGS | September 20, 2007 at 10:13 AM
*WAVES Helga's beerbong @ Hammie!!!!*

Waves @ AWBH!!!!
Gives last rites to Blurk.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | September 20, 2007 at 10:17 AM
Hammie, if that's the only thing I do today that is likely to get me in trouble I'm ahead of the game.
Posted by: blurk | September 20, 2007 at 10:21 AM
Hmm speaking of blurk AND sheep...
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 10:23 AM
I was drunk and needed the money.
And that's all I have to say 'bout that.
Posted by: blurk | September 20, 2007 at 10:25 AM
I'm tellin' ya, blurk. It's that
crapbeer you been drinkin'!Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2007 at 10:32 AM
Sioux, I VERY seldom drink.
I may chug, guzzle, swill, inhale, take intravenously and sometimes dream about, but I seldom drink.
Posted by: blurk | September 20, 2007 at 10:37 AM
Superman, huh? I'm thinking, maybe a kite?
Silly Romanians.
Posted by: Mr. Completely | September 20, 2007 at 11:25 AM
Siouxie - that's awful! Blurk wouldn't be caught dead in a white hat after Labor Day.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 20, 2007 at 12:15 PM
Vodka and a jet pack - 'nuff said.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 20, 2007 at 12:18 PM
"Just cruising around".
How cool is that? I believe every word of this story.
