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.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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.

It's as happy an ending as I could have wanted.

Seriously glad he's safe. Agreed about the whack family.
Oh MAN. I cannot find some of the docs on this computer that have my basics, like what we did last year for tragedy. Here's to hoping it's on the other computer.
