6-year-old boy is floating away

Chicks with dicks and Mustangs. They're tuff.

Hey Two-Bit, Mickey's on!

 

And I thought that when the story ended well, it would be impossible to post asshole comments about it. Congrats, you can now be king of the assholes.

 

I'm not ready to relinquish the crown just yet.

 

Also, when Ponyboy tells Johnny Cade he sees dead people...it's b/c Johnny's been dead the whole time.

 

Ha! That one was ruined for me two weeks after it came out by some stupid columnist.

Also: the Titanic sinks.

 

If you don't know why it's not OK to make a flippant comment invoking the name of a child who fell to his death, I really can't help you.

 

I'm afraid they had to leave it there.

 

I just found it funny that when CNN had the family on, they titled it 'Balloon Boy'.

At least, the kid wasn't flying in a bubble.

 

Why were people watching? Umm, did you not hear about the Air Guard 'copter that was planning on lowering an airman down on a cable to the balloon?

That would have been awesome* to watch.

* - Provided the airman wasn't injured.

 

The yellow dog died and everybody was sad.

All I got.

 

My wife saw Titanic in Cape Town with her best friend. They thought it was the greatest love story they'd ever seen. At intermission - yes, they had an intermission - all the girls in the theater were in the bathroom talking about what an amazing love story it was and whether or not Rose and Jack would end up together. The intermission came right after the love scene in the car.

Second half starts and boat hits iceberg. Oooh, some adventure. Boat starts sinking, girls start worrying. It's ok, though, Jack and Rose will get off the boat and go get married. People start dying. Now the ship completely sinks. Jack has died.

An entire theater of devastated people, who didn't know the ending to Titanic.

On the way home, they had to pull over twice because they were crying so much.

I was originally like, "How did you guys not know about the Titanic?"

They didn't know about it there. And she said some disaster in South Africa's history from the early 20th Century that I obviously haven't heard about and if a movie was made about it, I certainly wouldn't know the ending. Good point.

To this day, whenever it's on TNT or TBS, she'll all but run from the room if she sees a single scene from it, as the memories of that terrible night - the night they saw the movie, not the night the ship sunk - come rushing back.

 

My wife had a little different reaction to the movie, which was about two-and-a-half hours long.

"It didn't take the boat that long to sink."
