I blame George Bush. He did nothing to stop those terrorists birds from attacking our airplanes.

Loose Monkey Known To Throw Feces Evades Authorities

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) - Wildlife officials said a rhesus monkey known to throw feces when mad is on the loose in Tampa Bay. Authorities have been trying to capture the primate since Tuesday afternoon, but it managed to evade a bucket truck and tranquilizer dart.

Gary Morse with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says the adult male is thought to have escaped from an unlicensed source. It was last seen in Clearwater.

the best way to handle HLF is to just completely ignore whatever he says no matter how offensive.
you know he is just trying to get us spun up.
Its works I have answered him occasionally.

but if we all just completely ignore him, he won't be able to handle it.....

A racist monkey? How can a MONKEY be racist? Does he hate anybody who isn't a primate? Anyone without hair on their butt?

And how does this go with the plane crash? The monkey is near Tampa, the plane is in NYC, how strong is his arm?

Was he trying out for the Yankees?

Heroes all. Each and every one involved. The pilots, crew, passengers, people on the ferries, first responders....
My complete respect and admiration for the entire afternoon.Everyone!

Amazing no was was seriously hurt, much less killed. Bravo to all involved. For this to have gone off so well, the passengers must have remained calm, the crew must have acted quickly, and bystanders jumped to action to do whatever they could, and every single one of them deserves a standing ovation.

THIS is what AMERICANS are about HLF and all the other world's refuse! We aim to be the HIGHEST common denominator, not the lowest as you and your ilk would have us be. WE are NOT french....etc....

The newsies said people on the ferry acted as first responders when they pulled along side the plane.

The first help arrived at the plane in under 3 minutes. That river is some kind of busy, huh?

Bill is it really worth living there, even for this? People help each other in other places too you know.

Blue said...

why yes Steve you are right...just today in our 80 degree weather, I was down at Club Baby Seal eating lunch & having an adult beverage when this tourist lady asked me to help her tie up a bikini strap.
So I did......

Schteveo said...

...and continuing a story from earlier in the week...blue STILL sucks.

I hope you have US Airways in your portfolio.

Blue said...

yea USAir has no where to go but up....

That's one fine pilot. (I bet I know his co-pilot.) One dip of the wings as he was setting down and they'd have been recovering lots of bodies.

We won't discuss the weather here.

Okay, I lied. Coldest day in a year here - 77.

Brutal.

And it's going to sink WAY down at least 5 degrees over night to 72.

Brutal.

It was only 70 this morning at 5:45 when I got on the bus. A local woman got on wearing a sweater and gloves.

Brutal. Totally brutal.

And speaking of bikinis - only another 8 days and I'll post a picture, just for Poots, of C-Bug in one on Waikiki.

Latest details say there were only minor injuries. A truly outstanding piece of flying. The reports say the Capt. is a former jet fighter pilot. Based on the type of belly-landing he made, i'll bet he was carrier-based, as they practice that type of landing.

There were also reports of dark objects circling in the skies over NYC just above the plane. It turns out they were negligence lawyers preparing to swoop in.

They had a pilot on fox this morning that said that one of the reasons this pilot was able to do the water landing so well was that the pilot flies a glider in his spare time. Also the pilot interviewed said that a water landing is one of the most difficult things to do. He said that he didn't know of any water landings without deaths. This is one of those situations when you are just proud of people who are willing to go above and beyond to help others. God is at work!

"Grammie" or whatever name he wants to call me!! said...

Yep...God is at work!

thank me for Global warming.
if it had been colder the river would have been frozen and they would have bounced into NJ

"Grammie" or whatever name he wants to call me!! said...

If the river had of been warmer, the water would have been softer & they would have sank!

If I was on the government-funded boats that went to rescue the passengers, I would have first asked to what political party they belonged.

Then I would have told the republicans to wait for a private sector, free-market solution.

Goober said...

Ahh, yes, the enlightened one. How I've missed it.

The ideology of love, tolerance, and equality would apparently leave a person to freeze or drown simply because they disagreed with it's politics.

What a total fuckhead.

Anonymous said...

I'm sure the market would provide them a solution.

Eventually.

The invisible hand of the free market corrects all of society's ills. Right?

Ah, Goober - the "total fuckhead" has never, ever, ever once made a post without an insult to person or ideology. Never.

If it has, I challenge you or it to provide proof.

That's why it is a worthless liberal do-nothing, say-nothing, non-entity. You have to treat it like it doesn't exist because it adds nothing to humanity.

Do I have to post the definition of "worthless"? Worthless is to be ignored, scorned, and shit upon. Worthless = HLF.
