The closest I've come to bodysurfing is a bellyflop. Burrowing is much easier.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Still, it's bad enough that it is archived on the interbunny. I don't need my failed attempts at race sluttage shown on basic cable.
ftr, I don't need any potentially successful ones shown either. I'm demure that way.
Ah, so THAT'S the way you are demure.
Watching the news. I don't think people 'stealing' groceries should be called looters.

What is even happening?
I agree, Trudy. And at this point, with all that water, and no electricity, the people taking things like groceries are performing a salvage job, more than anything else.

Me either. It's not like they can buy food anywhere.

2:07 P.M. - (AP) -- A top casino executive is calling on the Mississippi Legislature to enact emergency legislation to keep the state's coast gaming industry alive.
Treasure Bay Casino President and CEO Bernie Burkholder says most of the casino hotels on the coast survived Hurricane Katrina, but several gambling barges suffered extensive damage. He says it could take several years to rebuild.

In general, yes. But you can't eat jewelry.

If there were someone there to pay they likely would. "Hey, lots of food! I'm starving! Ah well, no one at the register... nebbermind"

Because, after all, if the mob ain't happy, ain't no one happy.
One of the casino barges is sitting above the beach. That is, it floated over the beach and is sitting about 50 feet inland. Another one is sitting on a main road.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Are there people stealing jewelry? I mean, that's the kind of thing the vendors had time to lock up, given that they do it pretty quickly every night. So far, I'm inclined to give the looters a break-- a lot of that merchandise is a total loss, and can't be sold for awhile.
