SURE, IT LOOKS COOL

But his luggage was never found.

(Thanks to Billy No-Last-Name)

"Look! Up in the sky! No, really!"

*chips in to buy Billy a last name*

Does it come in pink?

Just don't look at picture #6. Really. Especially if you have a kid of your own.

Really. I'm going to go find a box of Kleenex now.

Actually, that seems a lot safer than most airline flights. At least if you're piloting the thing drunk you'll be the only person who kisses dirt.

So what does he call his - 'Fusion Man, Jr.' or 'Frightened Flying Turtle'?

I can't be the only one who's thinking "To infinity, and beyond!"

Can I?

He seems to lack a rudder.

Fusion Man: Fused with the sky? Or fused with the dirt?

Looking at the other five pictures... excuse me, I have to go hug my children.

At least the Chinese are allowing in aid workers. Myanmar's government is stealing whatever supplies come in from foreign aid and won't let anyone in to help a devastated populace. Just sad. *sigh*

I wonder how you would say "Hey Y'all, watch this." in Swiss? That has to be how this guy got started.

um..Warning: You must speak Swiss or French or whatever the heck he's speaking in the video.

This has been your Fusion Man afternoon update.

He'd fly for about 12 seconds and then run out of fuel. What a stupid invention.

Elon, that's farther than most people get after they spend their paychecks putting gas into their cars these days. I'd consider him a success story.

"Elon" must be Swiss for "Eeyore."

"Hey, Francois, hold my hot cocoa and watch this, s'il vous plait."

The Swiss have no option since Swissair went phut.

I'm just trying to spare you the suffering, you ingrates.

Thank you, Elon, for thinking of us.

Switzerland, just like France except the French at least pick up a gun every now and then.

Speaking of Swiss and hot cocoa, did anybody look at picture #2?

*jumps around, getting saltwater out of ears*

Now Doc, that's not nice. Where would the world be without all the the cheese and chocolate and secret bank accounts? You have to give them some credit.

CJrun --
I was wondering if the two were related until I noted the dateline.

Hey, maybe the fires traveled backwards through time.

Nah, fires just don't do that.

Between all the bad drivers and gunfire I'm surprised Florida has time for wildfires CJ.

WE here in Cali had wildfires and rainy seasons first. The FWM is trying to steal our thunder.

2 questions for FusionMan:

1) What are your superpowers?
2) Do you have a sidekick?

Annie, you guys also get earthquakes and mudslides. On the whole "pretty place to live that you could die in a heartbeat scale" Cali is the decided winner over Florida. Unless you account for gators or python invasions in which case things get a little closer.

In terms of question #2, I hear MacheteWoman is looking to pair up.

You called??

Rick, Annie - don't forget the rock slides and acid rain and lovely air quality in LA.

Yes. I need a haircut. Not too much off the top.

Dr. Bob, she doesn't quite have a grasp on the whole "not too much" thing. Be careful of what you ask for. *ducks for the first time in weeks*

Dr. Bob, the last time someone asked me for a haircut,I took a bit too much off the top.

Looks like you missed a spot there Siouxie. At least from what I'm used to getting.

Not a problem.

PONY!
I don't think the acid rain can penetrate the smog, so that's a plus out here. btw - we had two teeny quakelets early this morning. That's actually a good thing, releasing energy in small doses, rather than all at once. A good CJ analogy would be ladylike 'vapors' vs. a burrito bombshell.

Kinda like baby farts, Annie??

Yes - cute baby - hidden storm.

Except in Florida baby farts equal tropical storms with floods and tornadoes. Fun times all around.

From Wikipedia:
Famously, members of the armed forces keep their rifles and uniforms in their homes for immediate mobilisation, as well as 50 rounds of ammunition in a sealed tin, to be used for self defence while traveling to the mobilisation points, though the ammunition is no longer issued.

So, I'm not sure I'd be so quick to diss the Swiss. :)
