We just had a sonic boom in Ft.Lauderdale~

Someone in an F16 got a little bit carried away too close to shore...we just had a sonic boom here at my house in Fort Lauderdale.

-I lived in Orlando for 8 years, and when the space shuttle passed, it always did a boom over my house. I was running near my house the first time I heard it...

"Bump bump" I heard. I was totally puzzeled for about 15 seconds. Since I was running next to an 8 foot brick wall, the sound was somewhat amplified, and it sounded like somebody was messing with my ears. Then I figured out what I had heard.

-I was a little concerned. It is only a matter of time before some **** smuggles a nuclear weapon into Washington DC and tries to kill our President and most of our government. Iran will do this if they are allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

Religious Fundamentalists, be they Islamics or Christians...should NEVER have access to weapons of mass destruction. We avoided catastrophe by throwing the filth dubya Bush from power. We need to keep them from the fingers of Washington DC, Jerusalem, and New Delhi.

N!

Ah...a post early in the bottle. This thread could make for new discoveries. It reminds me of that study where they gave an artist increasing amounts of acid and had him keep drawing/painting during the trips....fascinating.

Normy, what you heard was some University of Miami students lighting farts after eating some Cuban subs... they were on the roof of their dorm... it was reported on CNN a few minutes ago.

And soon to be punted into the parf cess-pool.

But crazy digression aside, I've been under planes going super sonic. Very loud. It was raining ceiling tiles in the office.

Norm, you should try and speak your mind a little more openly? Don't hold back so much.

We'd lose all the entertainment value from the posts, then. I say...Normy, drink up!

The "mother ship"? I'd send it away. Boring-

Anyway, I'm not as think as you drunk I am ossifer-! I'll admit be being a bit buzzed some nights, but I am never really drunk. When I drink too much, I tend to fall asleep, a consequence of my slender 145 pound body. If I drink three beers, I'm kind of drunk and I can't type anymore, so I'm not online anymore.

N!

So I ran out of 7up last night and you know what I discovered that 7up is darn good way to ruin a fine whiskey.

YES another occasional late night buzzed poster! I'm not alone! Know what you mean about three beer limit. I'm 160lbs and get "there" kinda quick these days too!

Ahh now I let my secret out why my posts are so dumb.n

.....and DON"T answer business e-mails. After a few glasses of wine the other night I told a client that the hotel he chose in Chicago (upcoming convention) was fine if he didn't mind shoving pimps out of the way upon entering the lobby. oops.
