Awesome. - Alex Scoble
this is underfaksink at its worzt - Petr Buben
Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" .. - Petr Buben
Ah, OK, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :] - Petr Buben
OMGosh, just 23 more likes to beat this: http://beta.friendfeed.com/imified... ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Freemor, yes very cute! :-D - Kol Tregaskes

that's why is called a cat scan and not a cat fax. - Phil Maxwell
oh ... a scan. not fax?! .... it looked to me like she was faxink - Petr Buben
Just 5 more likes needed. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Try rolling the cat through a press first. Flat cats fit into the fax easier. - Bob Blunk
Fax, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Ok, over the top now. - Greg GuitarBuster
Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes). - Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little - Steve C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What? - Kevin Pedraja
LOL, Kevin. - Kol Tregaskes
i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Ey, it would be a tad warm on there, especially after a long working day. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Caption which needs to be said aloud: Uh Ohz, I'm totally FAXED! - sofarsoShawn
Hehe, Shawn. 10 more for the big 5-0-0. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Countdown! 8 more now! - Mike Nayyar

"Do you always need to reboot the computer and/or start Windows Task Manager? Look no further than Ctrl+Alt+Del, a handy tool which does just that and nothing more." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

Is it sad that I've been Ctrl+Alt+Del for over 15 years I never thought to use the delete key by the number pad? on a mac now, so I guess I have an excuse, but wow... - WiseYoda (aka Patrick)
lol i want - i also want a windows-e version plz - Allen Stern
WiseYoda, or the one-handed Ctrl+Alt+Delt, is the Ctrl+Alt on the right with the closest Del button. Gosh, I'm such a geek. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Yeah, that's the one I use, unless I'm already typing. - WiseYoda (aka Patrick)

This is pretty funny. Oh, and I had no idea that that using the numpad '.' for del overrode the Num Lock when doing CTRL+ALT+DEL. Interesting. I can already do the one-handed three finger salute quite quickly, though. Plenty of training and all. - Chieze Okoye

Think Progress » Right-wing protesters at GOP rally display prominent sign tying health care to the Holocaust.
"ThinkProgress’ Lee Fang snapped this photograph of a prominent sign being displayed at today’s GOP anti-health care rally. It’s unclear whether this sign is one of the many being handed out by Americans for Prosperity, the corporate front group sponsoring today’s rally. The sign reads “National Socialist Health Care: Dachau, Germany – 1945”:" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
fail. - Maxamad
The Hitler angle on health care is the most hilarious, I think. Because the main reason he's so infamous is because of the inefficient health care system he crea... oh wait, that's not it. - Lo
So making it easier for people to get health care is just like killing them. Right. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Here's to education hard at work *shakes head* - Rene Wirtz
This disgusts me. Is there no education about the holocaust in America? - Rich
Yes, but education doesn't spread like talking points. Near as I can tell from my right-wing family members, Hitler a) created a government-run health program, and b) used the word 'socialist,' therefore c) he and Barack Obama are the same, thus d) concentration camps are the inevitable outcome of providing health care to the uninsured. At least, I think that's their logic. - Lo
That is so foul...for SO many reasons. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)
I do deplore US political debate sometimes. So silly and yet so offensive. :( - winckel
Can someone just declare "Godwin's Law" and let this be done with now? - CW™

The more I see this the more disgusted I am. This has gone too far. There need to be consequences to these actions and Bachmann and Boehner should be held accountable for it, and by extension all those "newsmakers" who urged people to show up for this horrendous display. - Rene Wirtz
It's pretty rare, these days, to Godwin a protest rally. Impressive. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from iPod

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings, and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied:
"Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings. I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh." - Jason Huebel
that was perfect.... perfectly terrible!! Awesome. :D - Yolanda
My wife sent this joke via email. Here's the "call to action" after the joke: "See if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else. I sent it to you because I have nothing Toulouse!" - Jason Huebel

I told this story this evening during dinner at the chinese buffet. Strung it along with lots of details. Had my mom and aunt on the edge of their seat. I nailed it! They wanted to hit me tho. I ducked. - MicahBear78

LOL. I'd pay you Monet for that joke. - Roberto Bonini
Doesn't Gogh rhyme with trough rather than blow? - Rich
No. It rhymes with "go", in this case. - Roberto Bonini
Really? The pronunciation problem people have with this joke is over Van Gogh, not over Degas? - Curtiss Grymala from iPhone
hehe, my thoughts exactly. ;-) - Jason Huebel
heh... I'm glad there aren't too Manet jokes like this out there. - Jim Hearts FF
well, I can't even translate it in French, how will I tell it to my mom? - marsupilamima

Is there an irony in the fact that this seems to come from a BMW auto fanboy? - Brian Sullivan
Is there any IE fanboys? - Rich
Spammer die. - Maxamad
Fanboys are annoying. It doesn't matter what they obsess over. - Pat Rice
i dont know but i know that apple fanboys are not very appreciated - snipe123
Friendfeed? - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)
I am an apple die-hard, and I can't stand the apple fanboys. - dthree
Irrational devotion to anything does tend to incite rancor in me. Of course, I'm also not a fan of people who summarily dismiss what seems rational to me as being completely irrational and insane, either. - Victor Ganata
So far, people believe at 44% that apple have the more annoying fan boys followed by play station at 12%, xbox at 9%, IE and windows both at 7% there is 135 votes. - snipe123
I hate people who hate other people for enjoying and standing behind their favorite products. Don't be mad just because you want such neutral opinions on everything that no one can express their deep fondness of anything. :3 - Devin Gaughan
I mean as a fanboy, a person who is completely loyal to a product or company regardless of if they suck or not. This said they are annoying because they don't answer to logic ! - snipe123
Understandable. I agree on that point. - Devin Gaughan
Opera rules! *drivebyfanboy* - Michael W. May

Why in the world would a project create a PDF of their manual with a black background? Seriously, I'm either going to soak the paper through on an inkjet printer or use an entire toner cartridge in my laser printer. *sigh*
Screen shot 2009-10-24 at 1.35.49 PM.png
Or you could set your printer so that it doesn't print the background, and only prints in monochrome... - cecily
Not sure that would work with these PDFs. Besides, the main text is white. This is more of a gripe about the documentation being style-over-substance more than anything. :-) - Jason Huebel
You could export the pdf's as images and invert the colors then print. - Bryan Lee
Maybe the person making it uses black paper with the ink cartridge full of Tippex? - Rich
When you set your printer to turn off background printing and monochrome, it converts the background to white and the text to black. At least most modern printers do (she says without knowing the exact model of your printer...) - cecily
Convert it to text and remove the background. - Trish R

What the heck is 'brown sauce'?
photo.jpg
It's brown sauce - tastes like um. Brown. I don't like it that much. The branded version is HP Sauce, which is loved my everyone in the UK apart from me it seems. - Rich
I can't help but think it is made of pureed ups delivery guys. Thanks for clearing it up! - Joe Beda () from iPhone
Essence of Umami - LogEx
POO - Rochelle
It's the same as steak sauce I think, usually put inside bacon butties here in the UK :) - Charlotte M
I don't think I want to know... - Jeff P. Henderson
Having lived in both the US and UK, "Brown Sauce" or "HP Sauce" in the UK tastes nearly identical to "A-1 Steak Sauce" in the US. - Glen Campbell, B.A.
I do love me some A1 steak sauce on hamburgers... But "brown sauce" just sounds unappetizing. - Otto
I think I saw an episode of 'Dirty Jobs' that involved brown sauce. ;-) - Herb Hernandez
For that matter, what is salad cream? - Curtiss Grymala
I know of the fact that salad cream exists, but I've never tried it or actually seen it in a store in the USA. I'd probably prefer mayo anyway. Wikipedia tells me that it is "boiled egg yolks, mustard, vinegar, and cream". - Otto
Brown sauce is the only possible condiment for bacon. Get real US people!! - David Semeria

I've heard about this Brown Sauce for years. Now it's time to try some - I've just ordered some from Amazon: http://bit.ly/2laHhs They even have Salad Cream and I guess I'll have to try that too. - Drew
I did not think FreindFeeders would be so closed minded. Brown sauce is the blue collar term for a version of what Canadians call Steak Sauce. Usually it's a blend of molasses, vinegar, dates, sugar and spices. In the UK "HP" is the favoured brand. Personally I find it unpleasant as it's dominated by a vinegar-y taste. It's competitor , Daddies, is far smoother. - Liam Hemmings
Oh yeah and salad cream....well as long as I can remember that's been a market dominated by Heinz...a US company. I love it. Poor man's mayo, sweet, sour and creamy. - Liam Hemmings
Brown Sauce is great for eggs too. I love a fried egg sandwich smothered in brown sauce. - Matthew Neale
Brown Sauce is a British Institution - can't be faulted - sofiagk
Salad cream is a dairy-free emulsion invented as a cheap alternative to mayonnaise. Both salad cream and Brown sauce are vile-tasting concoctions and there is no reason for them to exist in this modern, enlightened age. ;-) - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
Ok. So salad cream sounds almost like Miracle Whip. Over here in the U.S., they usually either refer to it as Miracle Whip, or sometimes just "salad dressing" (not sure what, as that certainly gets confusing). - Curtiss Grymala
Ahh... Okay then, Mayo is far superior to Miracle Whip (or generic "salad dressing"), so if that's what it is, then I'm not interested in it. Mayonnaise forever! As for "brown sauce", I'm guessing that it tastes similar to the knockoff brands of A1 Steak Sauce, which are all crap. A1 Steak Sauce is the only steak sauce worth a damn. A1 forever! :) - Otto
http://bit.ly/11FyP7 Man! Amazon shipped the sauce fast. OK, so after the first taste I have to say that it tastes like A1, but slightly less flavorful and more tart. It's pretty good! - Drew

Okay, now can somebody recommend a FF app for iphone/itouch? I must be mobile.
I think a lot of people use fftogo. It's not an app, but it can be used for mobile access to FF. - joshua "magic" neff
Aha! Thanks--don't know why I didn't just look for a mobile version. Guess I'm so app-focused. - Kaijsa Calkins

TURN ON THE NEWS RIGHT NOW.
Six year old boy got into an experimental aircraft and launched it. He's 10,000 ft above sea level in this thing. UPDATE FOR LATECOMERS: The boy, Falcon Heene was not found in the balloon when it landed at the site, authorites looking for him. BOY FOUND AT HOME, HIDING IN THE ATTIC! - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
I repeat: this is not a Disney comedy. THIS IS REAL. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
Why wasn't he in school?! - Anika
They're talking military uses? This is crazy. - Anika
Oh man! Dad knew the kid was inside, but thought the aircraft was tethered. How far as the balloon traveled? - Anika
At least they know it flies. And well. - Anika
Hope the kid will be OK. From the live video, it sure looks like it's going really fast. (ok, the anchor just said the estimate is 20-25 mph) - Andrew C
They would have to sedate me if that was my kid. I'm feeling anxious just thinking about it and I don't even know who it is. - Trish R
I really hope that kid is ok. Man, I would be passing out about now if it were my child. - Charlotte M
The newsreader on MSNBC is pissing me off with her cutting people off. - Anika
They're. Calling. Out. The National. Guard. Holy fuck. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
National Guard is launching a helicopter! This is too much. - Anika
So, that thing is filled with helium? Wow! I wonder if the kid can see what's going on. - Anika
Holy crap. Watching right now. - Rochelle
Uh-oh. Looks like the camera man lost the balloon. - Anika
Funny. These people don't give 6 yo that much credit. I guess if you shut them out of learning, they'd be pretty lost. I'd rather assume that the dad at least explained to the kid what does what, physics and such. - Anika
The balloon is headed toward Denver (according to Fox which I turned to to see if they had Live footage of the kid) - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
It's been in the air for TWO HOURS?!?!?! Holy crap!! - Anika
Well I know what I'm watching today. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
That is so bizarre. Hope he gets down. - Lo
Looks like a UFO. - Rochelle
I wonder if the dad will be charged for the $$$ of sending the Nat'l Guard out. - Anika
aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii - JSNFLMNG
Oh no... They think the boy fell out. - Rochelle
What?? - Jordan Hofker
Oh dear. :-( - vicster
That's what CNN just said. They haven't found him on the ground but a sibling thought they saw him fall out right when it was taking off. Plus, they can see in the pictures right now that the door is hanging open. - Rochelle
The MSNBC feed I'm watching hasn't said anything about that. Maybe it's behind? - Jordan Hofker
Conf: Said the aircraft wasn't supposed to carry anyone. They said the the child is inside the aircraft for sure. Not sure on what the purpose of the aircraft was besides a family project. - Anika
The boys name is Falcon. At least that's what I'm hearing. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
Ah, the school district was off today. (answered my question). Dad had no idea the boy went in. Another sibling saw him go in and told the parents. - Anika
Parents are Richard and Miami? I hope this all turns out alright. - Jordan Hofker
If he fell out when it first took off, and it's been in the air for 2+ hrs and they've STILL not found him on the ground...geez. - vicster
Vicster, yeah, that's why I'm not sure (and why the news people aren't sure) that report was accurate. - Rochelle
Losing a lot of helium it looks like... - Jordan Hofker
If he is still in the ballon he must be terrified and freezing - Kim Landwehr
i'm freaking out watching this - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
Ack ack ack ack ack - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
It does look like it's really losing helium and listing heavily. - vicster
:(( - AJ Batac
Looks like the top part could collapse. - Rochelle
If it's losing helium, then maybe the earlier suggestion of using a chopper to push it down would work. - Anika
We need a hero. Like, right now. - AJ Batac
That poor kid. He must be completely freaking out. :( - Rochelle
You gotta remember, there's probably a kid in there and there isn't like a protected cockpit so they have to be extremely delicate. - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Actually, I'm shocked schematics haven't been posted yet. The dad is pretty well known, it seems. Surely, if they release that info, they could crowdsource some solutions. - Anika
damn, I hope that little guy is OK. :-( - vicster
Why don't we see him like, banging on the edges or something? - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
That balloon is looking very floppy. Think we can catch up to it with a blimp or a giant net? - Jordan Hofker
Twitter's full of related trending topics now. - Jemm
Yeah, they've spoken to the father, so I've been waiting to hear more about the construction... - Ryan Versaw
Why about a dragnet? - Micah Wittman
Clark, I'm guessing he doesn't exactly want out. He's in the air and stuff. Or if you believe CNN, he fell out shortly after liftoff. - Jordan Hofker
Clark, I'm wondering if he's unconscious in there. - Rochelle
They're talking about the possiblity of the kid moving around affecting aerodynamics. The lady said it could. That would make sense why it's listing toward the hatch. - Anika
Good point. - Jordan Hofker
OMG. They just showed a close up of the door. That thing is like barely closed. - Anika
Where are you watching Anika? MSNBC didn't show the door! - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Rochelle, I was wondering the same thing. Part of me hopes he is, so that he wouldn't be terrified... - vicster
I'm watching MSNBC. - Anika
HOLY CRAP, GUYS. This family was on Wife Swap: http://abc.go.com/shows... - Rochelle
Picture of the family: http://cdn.media.abc.go.com/m... - Rochelle
The kid's mom is "...a psychic mom who speaks to the dead and can control the weather, her husband and her children -- who believe they are destined to be stars." That is so creepy, given the current situation. - Rochelle
I hope there's a separate compartment and the kid hasn't been breathing in helium the whole time. - Rodfather
The affiliate is saying the e balloon is circling vs. moving in a straight line. - Anika
at 500 ft. MSNBC says they won't show the landing until they know the kid is OK. - Andrew C
YAY! MSNBC just said they won't show the landing. - Anika
Rochelle, are you sure that wasn't the family they swapped with? - Jordan Hofker
I'm sure. They were swapped with a rock'n'roll family. http://abc.go.com/shows... - Rochelle
Okay. I don't watch that show :-) - Jordan Hofker
Is the silver behind them in that picture the balloon we're watching now? - Jordan Hofker
Jordan, me either. I'm going on Wikipedia and ABC's websites. - Rochelle
That's what I was wondering, but the shape seems odd - Ryan Versaw
Jordan, it looks like something similar. - Rochelle
Were I to be a 6 year old with a helium balloon in the back yard tethered, you can bet your ass I'd climb in and go for a ride. Just sayin'. - Wirehead
OH GAH, here it goes. - Rochelle
fox has the landing - Carlos Ayala
It's landing! - Jordan Hofker
What's the terrain there? - Micah Wittman
Wow. Down to 100 ft. - Anika
Smooth landing - Rodfather
pretty gentle landing it looked like - Jordan Hofker
CNN showed it land. Did MSNBC? - Rochelle
Come on kid, be okay - Jordan Hofker
OMGOMOGMLmg, we're all like yelling at the office! - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Yeah, they did, so did Fox - Jordan Hofker
Msnbc - yes. - Micah Wittman
these dudes are scared to approach it! - Carlos Ayala
How is he doing??? - Melissa
whoa, just landed. went too fast for MSNBC to cut away... the expert just said it would take another hour. - Andrew C
@Rochelle, yeah, they did. - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
PLEASE PLEASE PLASE - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
WTF - Carlos Ayala
RIP IT OPEN ALREADY - Rochelle
What are they doing? Open it - Rodfather
They want to hold it down first. They're digging up dirt to put on it. - Jordan Hofker
best possible outcome... as long as the boy is OK... - JSNFLMNG
OMG, that man running towards it was so powerful - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
so surreal. - Micah Wittman
I think they should have more people holding the ropes while they put dirt on it. - Anika
Good. Guy finally punctured the other side. - Anika
I'm thinking he's not in there. - Rochelle
he might not be there - AJ Batac
Agreed..., which is a major bummer. - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
So.. where is he? - Rochelle
WTF? Where did the kid go? - Rodfather
oh man :( - Neil Bernhart
They've confirmed it's empty. - Rochelle
just wow. - Micah Wittman
Wow. - Jordan Hofker
Oh my god, that thing covered so much ground..... - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Yup confirmed. No BOY in there! wtf - AJ Batac
Where the hell is the KID? - vicster
Sweet police Chargers there, though. - Jordan Hofker
publicity stunt? - Jason Wehmhoener
Jason, that's what others are talking because the family was into weather chasing. - AJ Batac
two possibilities.... he never actually got into it. or, he fell out early on. hopefully it's the first - Neil Bernhart
door "made of cardboard". - Andrew C
Door wasn't locked. They have been afraid he could fall out - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Now, they're wondering if this was a hoax or if the kid fell out early. - Anika
Thats horrible either way. - Eric Logan
I'm hoping it was a hoax cause that would be terrible if the kid died or something... - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
"When the Heene family aren't chasing storms, they devote their time to scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the storm." - AJ Batac
it's still kind of terrible even if it is a hoax. - Jason Wehmhoener
Eye of a storm...??? With a cardboard door? Hmmm....that's...um...brilliant. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
News reporter just clumsily told neighbor that the boy wasn't in the basket. - Anika
I don't get what the point of a hoax would be. To get the family attention? Why? - Rochelle
because they like attention? - Jason Wehmhoener
@Anika: Saw that, how tactless. - Katie: Whelmed Overly
Weird. - Rochelle
they certainly have other attributes that contribute to a "weird" impression - Jason Wehmhoener
Whoa I am at work and just saw this thread. How scary. I hope they find him safe :( - joey
:( - Rochelle
The Lawn chair ballooning section of snopes http://www.snopes.com/travel... will be active again. - Micah Wittman
Just logged on to FF and saw this everywhere - so strange, hope that all is OK. - Rich
...well, they have to find the boy now - .LAG liked that
I hope the kid hid somewhere, thinking he was in serious trouble for untethering his dad's balloon. - Christopher A Carr
So, now they're trying to figure out if the peg at the bottom of the compartment was attached to another compartment and if that's missing. - Anika
Chris, I hope so too. - Jordan Hofker
I really REALLY hope the kid is just hiding somewhere because he's afraid he'll be in trouble for launching the balloon. - vicster
+1 vicster. Reports are that someone saw something fall out of the balloon. Hope that's a false report. - Jason Huebel
Which is why I'm amazed there's no schematics posted online yet. - Anika
Wow Vicster, that's really insightful. That's exactly what I did when I broke my Mother's coffee table (when I was 6). - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
amen to what vicster said. - Louise Alcorn
the kids brother ran into the house after he saw him go into the compartment, and the balloon then became untethered and took off. police already searched the house for the boy - Neil Bernhart
But I'm laughing at the police tape stretched between the 2 SUVs. There's nothng else around! - Anika
at some point someone (ie: the father, neighbor, etc) mustve stated "theres a 6 yr old boy in there." anyone know how this report began (mentioning the boy)? - Carlos Ayala
The family called the local news for help tracking it, they said. - Jordan Hofker
They're saying now that his name isn't Falcon. That's another sibling in the family but the boy who is missing is named Ryo. - Rochelle
Anika, true, but not for long. - Micah Wittman
Well, I hope wherever the boy is, he's safe. - Anika
If he was there, he would have experienced -14C. Frostbite and hypothermia would already have set in. - AJ Batac
If that bottom area is made of cardboard, would it have even retained that shape? (The bottom was still flat) - Ryan Versaw
And the lack of oxygen and the amount of He wouldn't be nice. - Rich
They seemed to this it would be around 50F at 8000 feet. - Jason Huebel
And that oxygen wouldn't have been a problem at 8000 either. - Jason Huebel
@Ryan, then bottom was a thin plywood. - Jason Huebel
Ugh, this is making me feel ill. - Rochelle
Same here Rochell....ugh - Katie: Whelmed Overly
I don't think I want to know now. - Jason Huebel
BBL. I need to hug my kids. - Jason Huebel
Ah, I thought it was 10,000 feet - Rich
@Ryan, exactly. if he fell out, how did it close itself again? I think he's hiding somewhere..., at least I hope. - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Wind blew it shut? - Jordan Hofker
Ryan/Clark/Jordan, they said it was locked/latched shut. - Rochelle
Rochelle - Oh, I thought they said it was *unlocked*. It's hard to hear when they keep interrupting each other. - Jordan Hofker
Also, I don't know if it matters much, but here's the father's site: http://www.thepsyiencedetectives.com/ - Ryan Versaw
I hope this resolves itself before I go to class... - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀

holy crap... I remember seeing them on Wife Swap!!! - Neil Bernhart
Uh, Faux will have to do... - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Argh, one story says the door was unlocked, another says locked. Stupid early-breaking news reports! - Lo
the Heene's on the Wife Swap site: http://abc.go.com/shows... - Neil Bernhart
Ahhh this guy is loud. - Jordan Hofker
dangit! sorry, Rochelle... I'm slow. - Neil Bernhart
Sheriff's office is looking at some cell phone video (maybe?) - Jordan Hofker
Neil, that's okay. - Rochelle
Jordan, source? MSNBC? - Rochelle
It's like they're not aware the camera is on. - Jordan Hofker
Not a lot of action going on there though. - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Sounded like he was unsure of the cell phone video though, as he only heard it from the other reporters. He missed what the sheriff (or whoever) said - Ryan Versaw
Okay, I flipped over to Fox News. I've been going back and forth between CNN and MSNBC. - Rochelle
Now the dude is saying a neighbor maybe saw two of the brothers on their roof video taping? - Jordan Hofker
(I'm just typing whatever I happen to hear on this stream) - Jordan Hofker
Like they were taping the kid launching the balloon? - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Or him as he flew away. - Jordan Hofker
ack ack ack ack ack - Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
@Jordan, thanks. I don't have sound here at the office. - vicster

Jordan: That one has been up for awhile. The viewer simply switched from the other when it was completely shut off - Ryan Versaw
(I had them both up at the same time before) - Ryan Versaw
Here's a state patrol and sheriff audio feed for the area, though I've heard nothing related to it at this point: http://www.radioreference.com/apps... - Ryan Versaw
Switched to a separate channel for balloon-related traffic? - Jordan Hofker
Also, you can switch to a Fox News Talk Radio live video from the menu on top of http://interactive.foxnews.com/livestr... - Ryan Versaw
Update is that the family says a box/compartment was attached to the round thing on the bottom and THAT'S what they boy was in. So that box part fell off, presumably with the boy inside. - Rochelle
Awwww :( - Lo
Oh no. :( - Carmen
That box piece has not been found. - Rochelle
The kid has been found safe and sound? (Looking for sources: http://ff.im/9TKGp) EDIT: NOPE. - Jordan Hofker
Nothing in those threads says he was actually found. - Kenton
Yeah, retracting that. - Jordan Hofker

I really wanna know what happened to that boy ... - Viva Vida
we'll likely know by tomorrow. I'm frankly afraid to know, cuz it's unlikely to be good. - Louise Alcorn
If anyone is still interested... Live local news: http://www.9news.com/video... - Ryan Versaw
I hope that's not true. Like Kevin said in the other thread ( http://friendfeed.com/jamesfe... ), it's a balloon - if he really fell out like that, shouldn't it have shot upwards? - Andrew C
Damn, Rodfather...that sent chills up my spine... :(( - JA Castillo
any news ? - Viva Vida
Oh wow, Rod. - Jimminy
I hope it isn't real - Rodfather
Same here. - Jordan Hofker
i don't think it is, they said he was in an external basket, I have a feeling that that upper compartment was for filling the balloon as well as instrumentation, it's possible it was just some meteorological gear, hopefully. - Jimminy
I heard that is the basket and there was some damage on the bottom. Could be wrong. - Rodfather
Rod, that's what everyone thought, the parents confirmed there was a plywood basket that was attached to the pole sticking out of the bottom. - Jimminy
Sheriff says that the balloon that landed was in the same condition as when it took off. (According to local MSNBC news) - Jordan Hofker
Whatever Rodfather posted, it's gone now. - Lo
I hope that means it was a fake. - Jordan Hofker
I still don't understand this. If there was no basket (as they're saying now), what did the father originally say? - Ryan Versaw
Sheesh, looks like the family-blaming has already begun. - Lo
He's apparently at the house - Ryan Versaw
He's at the house and fine - Rodfather
found hiding in a box! - J. Abdul-Qahhar
in the attic in the garage - Rodfather
OK, so now that he's home and safe, can we a) start making jokes now and b) move on? - Kevin Pedraja
Well, if you look at twitter, people starting making jokes immediately... - Ryan Versaw
Oh good, now we can get back to work (aka minesweeper) - Lo
That was just nuts... - J. Abdul-Qahhar
If this was done on purpose, I'm going to cock punch the next storm chaser I see. - Rodfather
he is so busted. - anna sauce
@Rodfather - Hey! Just punch the whacko stormchasers. Oh...wait. Okay, just punch the ones who take their KIDS! (That's just stupid) - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Jill, I was referring to the quotes from neighbors/"friends" of the family saying that the father put his kids in danger... picked up by ABC while everyone still thought he was dead. I'm a child of the 80s, used to parent-blaming commencing only after the crisis has ended. It is pretty messed up that the sibling lied when the severity of the situation must have been clear to him. - Lo
I'm glad they found him and that he's okay. - Jordan Hofker
Every time there was a threat of a tornado, my family would go outside to watch. I'm still alive and I've seen some neat clouds and stuff. - Jordan Hofker
Thanks, Rodfather - just caught it. - Micah Wittman
So his parents are going to kill him now. >,< If they were my parents, first they would cry and hug me and be thankful I was okay. Then they'd beat my ass and ground me until I was 18. :-D I only hope that the parents aren't held responsible for any of the costs of this. It was a real emergency. Since the searchers didn't find him during a search of the home, they had no other option than to assume he went up in the balloon. It would be a shame to bankrupt the family. - Jason Huebel
Yeah Jill, I'm not saying the parents have no responsibility, it was the timing that was depressing. After their news appearance, it looks like the parents may have even more responsibility than it first appeared! - Lo
So what do people think about the kid telling Wolf Blitzer (filling in for Larry King) last night that it was "for the show"?? And then puking on the Today Show (twice)... poor kid must have not had a very good night last night. - Chris Heath
I think someone needs to be cock punched now - Rodfather
I forgot about him as soon I saw that baby falling under the train video. Besides, if they're going to endanger their children for attention, I'm happy to give them none. - Lo
http://www.youtube.com/user... Is the youtube account that the father had been posting to up until earlier this year. there's a lot of 'fake or real?' posts... http://www.youtube.com/watch... this one in particular is my favorite! - Chris Heath
http://www.youtube.com/watch... this one has the best thumbnail though [edit: oh you can't see the thumbnail from that link... it's of him wearing a bra on top of his shirt... comical if you ask me] - Chris Heath
http://www.youtube.com/watch... oh and he's got a 2012 end of the world video too... is this getting better or worse? i can't tell - Chris Heath
Nice find, Chris. "Man of science" indeed. - Lo
