Mal ,'The Train Job'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My friend Tom Galloway commented on Facebook:
"Per a friend of mine who'd tend to know such things: "A 7x20x3 foot balloon filled with 12,000 liters of helium can lift 30 pounds. The boy was never in the balloon.""
I so hope that is so. It was an awfully small balloon!
Cynic Alert: So, Balloon Boy's parents were on a reality show. Dad is some sort of mad scientist storm chaser. Balloon Boy was not actually in the balloon. Dunno, y'all, it's starting to smell like a publicity stunt.

Man, those black jack taco ads are making me want to go buy one, and I don't even like Taco Bell. Though perhaps this is more due to the spokesman who looks like the Swedish guy I had the best sex of my life with than any appeal of the tacos themselves.
Interracial couple denied marriage license in La.
Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the conclusion that most of black society does not readily accept offspring of such relationships, and neither does white society, he said.
"I don't do interracial marriages because I don't want to put children in a situation they didn't bring on themselves," Bardwell said. "In my heart, I feel the children will later suffer."
Just saying hi from my phone while I'm all alone and then going back to work.
Ballon boy is at home
I'm drinking beer at my desk again.
Balloon kid found alive. Was hiding in the house, afraid he was going to get in trouble!
It's as happy an ending as I could have wanted.
I am glad he's safe, but his family is WHACK.
