We’ve got a nice three alarm blaze going just around the corner from my office. Here’s the pics from about an hour ago. The roof of the building has just collapsed. Oddly enough, the building is one that’s slated for demolition to make way for the new Toledo Mud Hen’s stadium going up next month. Hmmm…

Do you smell an insurance scam or something, Unc?
The Detroit Tigers (parent club of the 'Hens) are probably trying to save money in an attempt to re-sign that do-nothing Juan Gonzalez.
Hmmm, that’s funny. I was just looking at something even hotter when this thread popped up!
Yow! A Tabasco Lollypop Ouch!
UncleBeer, have you got smoked out yet? Do you get to leave work?
Psst, hey Milo, is the quote from your yahoo page from The Chronicles of Narnia, The Last Battle? (Is that what that book is called? It’s been a while.)
You mean “3124”? Isn’t that one of Cal Ripken’s records for something? Oh, wait…that’s 2131.
Hey Demo, I think you messed up that link in your post. This is what it should have been, right?
Vix, I know you’re kidding about the 3124 right? No, I meant on his Yahoo page. It says “Upward and Onward!”
AHEM!!! I stand corrected. Yes dear, whatever you say dear.
3124 is a tribute to Wally - his final number of posts (a few others are sporting it as well).
“Upward and Onward!” is how conservative radio talk show host Michael Medved concludes his daily broadcasts. I’m not a disciple of his, but I generally like his show and how he thinks on some issues. He isn’t as bombastic as Rush Limbaugh, and seems a little more reserved and thoughtful in his viewpoints - for the most part. He also tends to talk more about pop culture and Hollywood, which are kind of interests of mine.
The phrase just seems kind of apropos to my life at the moment. No biggie.
Heh. This is a portion of an article from today’s “Toledo Blade.”
I hope this isn’t one of the buildings they were planning to “save” 'cuz I don’t wanna spend anymore than $37 mil on this boondoggle.
Gee, why am I not surprised tht Demo is the one asking if anyone “smoked out”.
Whoops!
Geez, can I get a break? :: thinking about it :: OK, I think I’ll leave work now!
damn … I thought this thread was about my nude pic

Just think, Unc, you could have been going over there for lunch this whole time! Just think, a 40 and some Spam on a stick. Yummmmm! Oh well…missed opportunities… Shame shame…
That does explain the oddly alluring smell of pickled meat that hangs over downtown Toledo all afternoon. Oh wait. I have my shoes off, it must be my feet.
