Oooh let us know how it is!
- tab thinks you're awesome
I might see this tonite, so please do let us know how it is! Enjoy!
- Morgan Haley
Tell me if I need to trek to IMAX for it.
- Kendra <3 Three Lions
We might see this Sunday. I'm looking forward to it!
- ha3rvey (doesn't dance)
Not a lot if people here, but I went out of my way to find a nice theater away from the usually crowded ones.

- Derrick

Did you at least go to a digital theatre with 3D?
- Jason Huebel
Oh, you're probably in the middle of the movie. Since it's three hours long, we probably won't hear from you before Christmas. ;-)
- Jason Huebel
That makes one of us.
- Amber, Random Time Lord
I double-checked my tix. Avatar? Yep. IMAX? Absolutely. 3-D? Confirmed. Bubba? Can't wait!
- FF's Bubba of Arizona
EngagetHD says RealD 3D is the way to see Avatar
- Robert Hafer
From reading this I conclude there are different types of 3D systems with which Avatar will be displayed. What are they?
- SuezanneC Baskerville
Well that was kind of amazing.
- Derrick
from iPhone
Did it blow your mind?
- ha3rvey (doesn't dance)
No, but I'm jaded because I went to school for film; it is very good.
- Derrick
from iPhone
And I did see it in 3D; I can't imagine NOT seeing it in 3D. Very immersive and not all poking you in the face. Spatial.
- Derrick
from iPhone
Mr. 7 is dying to see it. What's the sex/violence/cussin' report?
- s t e v e
A little cussing, the violence is fairly tame, although there is some combat, as you might expect. And a brief "mating" scene between two Na'vi people. That freaked me out because not because I'm a prude, but because it was all CGI and weird. Mr. 7 will be wowed with the movie, though. The Mr. 7 in me was. It's breathtaking.
- Derrick
FYI: It is also nearly three hours long.
- Derrick
so the 'pee-tential is high with the almost 180 minute duration....*notes to self: small soda for this movie!*
- Morgan Haley
Thanks, D. I think we'll try it on Monday or Tuesday.
- s t e v e
I'm going to see it on Monday! Thanks!
- tab thinks you're awesome
ima check it out tonight me thinks
- Morgan Haley
I honestly didn't care anything about this film ... until I saw a trailer for it two nights ago. Now I really want to see it.
- Martha
3 hour movies need an intermission.
- SuezanneC Baskerville
WTF? 3 hours? I'm not seeing this in the theatre. I will fall asleep!
- Kendra <3 Three Lions
I love long movies! I feel like I'm getting my money's worth.
- tab thinks you're awesome
Morgan, I've been soda free at the theater since the Watchmen debut. Carried along the tide of humanity exiting the theater, I missed the restroom on my way out and drove like a madman down the block to a diner. *More notes to self: Don't go on premiere night.

"You know when you go to another country and have no clue what the coins of the local currency are worth? ... Designer Mac Funamizu puts an idea out there that might solve the woes of international visitors. se wedges and proportions to indicate how much the money is worth."
- Tom Stocky
from Bookmarklet
"Nevermind the increased production costs, storage, and people cutting themselves on coin wedges. They look awesome. Plus - the one- and five-cent pieces can double as bottle openers."
- Tudor Bosman
Very clever
- Ozkan Altuner
from iPhone
Very clever. I love the 2.
- Kevin Fox
Isn't this problem solved by putting numbers on the coins?
- Andrew C
Andrew: not really. 1. not for blind people, and 2. not when fumbling around in your pocket; you end up pulling a handful of coins, and then slowly sifting through them reading every single number, while people behind you in the checkout line are tapping their feet -- an all-too-common event for international travelers.
- Tudor Bosman
Something noted by the designer (http://twitter.com/mac_fun...) is that angular coins might hurt your hand ... but still a cool idea.
- Tom Stocky
Non-round coins are also highly impractical for coin-operated machines that depend on the ability of a coin to roll through a mechanism.
- Kevin Fox
I think it is about time to get rid of most coins. Do we really need pennies and nickles or even dimes? They are almost useless and have very little value. Does anything actually cost 1, 5 or 10 cents anymore? Would be a lot easier if prices were rounded up or down to the nearest quarter or dime.

"Fondo Colanco is a private ranch that I visited on the day of the Spring castration. We watched about 30 bulls get snipped and then retired to a barn for the day. We stripped the balls from the scrota, taking them to a giant plow set over an open wood fire for searing in oil, garlic, and chiles before parking them between two homemade rolls for hand sandwiches. The scrota were sauteed...

- Bren -- Not Grinchy

My point I guess is the only music on this list that I ever listened to is Jaco Pastorius and Wynton Marsalis - popular music that I know, recognize and like all comes from the '60s and early '70s. Guess when I was a teenager and young adult?
- Brian Sullivan
Who the heck put those on this list! *BLOCKED*
- Alex Scoble
Brian, the majority of my music collection spans the 60-70s. But it includes 80s-present. I think Bren was inspired by the responses in Alex's thread. I think the 80s get typecasted a bit for being nothing but hair metal, but there was so much music happening.
- Mary Carmen
The thing is, Brian, I could make a similar list for the 60s, 70s, 90s, and 00s. I was a teenager in the late 80s and early 90s, but good music is good music, I don't care what decade you came of age.

I have long held that 1984 was the best year for rock/pop albums ever: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Especially in the USA: Let It Be, Reckoning, Zen Arcade, Double Nickels on the Dime, This Is Spinal Tap, Mr. T's Commandments, etc. etc. etc. (ETA: I was 13 for most of 1984, so that has to be a factor.)

Sonic Youth? That said, I'm not a huge '80s fan (either music or movies), but maybe I should listen to some more of these people. I've heard some of them, but most of them I only like with reservations (like, I'd like it more if they used less echo effects, or something). Also, aren't a lot of these '70s bands? Like Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Clash...
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy: my original contention was that there was a lot of good music in the 80s. Many of these bands made music in the 70s, the 90s, and other decades. The thing they all have in common is that they made what I would consider great music in the 80s. Siouxsie, for example, started in the late 70s but made most of the music for which she is best known in the 80s, ditto the Cure.

the 80's rocked. and they be-bopped. i loved the 80's. for the music. i was a basketcase teen though
- Morgan Haley
I guess when I say "80's music" I mean something different than if I say "music made in the '80s" - which sounds counterintuitive. It's like when I say I'm not a fan of '80s movies, I don't mean I dislike all movies made in the '80s, but just that the average movie of the '80s and the styles that were common are not as appealing to me as the average movie of most every other decade. I...

- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I think I know what you mean, Jandy. "stereotypical" music of the '80s (schlock hair metal, vapid pop, etc) might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as this thread shows many bands made music in the 80s that touched people.
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
Slacker Radio Station made from the artists mentioned in this thread: http://slacker.com/r/Kjyp. I haven't gotten them all added yet (and can't guarantee all the songs are from the '80s, as many of the artists span multiple decades, as we discussed). But I actually have to get some work done, so I'm gonna stop tinkering with it and just listen for a bit. :)

The Police
- Rachel Lea Fox
as long as you're going Police and not Sting, I can get on board with that... :)
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
Nah, Sting was really much more 90's and a very different style on his own. But while Police were late 70's their major fame was 80's and a strong influence for the time imo.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Best Movie EVER was Sting's Bring on the Night. What year was that? 88? 89?
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
I have a tendency to group music more on decade sound/style rather than actual year it was made. I think there is lots of run over and someone has to get the ball rolling too which often starts late in the decade preceding the one in which it will truly take off and inspire other artists.

Arnaud, see http://friendfeed.com/mokarga... for tips. And Josh correct me if I'm wrong, he uploaded to Twitpic the same animated GIF 9 times, then created a friendfeed post and attached all 9 images by URL (instead of choosing images from his hard drive). Images coming from twitpic, soup.io, etc will animate, but photos hosted by friendfeed itself won't.

I don't think it's a problem pointing out your crushes, hun. I think it's the fact that it's titled "The Hotties of FriendFeed" that can make people kind of uncomfy. That comes across as a direct judgment of peoples' looks, even though we know you didn't mean it that way.

- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
It's not my scene, but hey...whatevs. It just feels a little meat market-ish to me. People aren't avatars, and I know a couple on the list who wouldn't be proud of being reduced to a FF hottie on someone's list.

Derrick - But a lot of the stuff you post to the really gay room is pretty meat market-ish. Just because they're professional models it's okay to objectify them? We naturally objectify each other because we naturally are sexual creatures. I'm not offended by being on this list, but I don't like being objectified and I think what Haggis has done is a sweet gesture, not a gesture of blind testosterone rubbing one out.

Mattie, any pics I post in the Really Gay Room are A) *in* the Really Gay Room, and B) pictures culled from sites that are meat-marketish to begin with. I would never post pics of Scoble or Louis Gray and say, "oh these are guys I'd like to see naked". And I'm not knocking Sean. I freakin' love Sean. But I also know that there are women on the list who've worked hard at getting to where they are in life and in their careers and to be thought of as a pin-up on FF isn't their bag.
- Derrick

- jamar78
I don't see how posting this in a room would make it any different a situation, Derrick. I don't think that Sean ever said he wanted to see any of the women on the list naked. Is that something I skipped over while scanning the comments? If he said that, then yes. This list is pretty lame. But being admired for your beauty isn't bad. Especially since (for me at least) being a hottie entails being incredibly intelligent and engaging.
- Mattie Kenny
Mattie, that's exactly what I consider a hottie. Attractiveness is only part of the factor. Intelligence, a sense of humor, and many other things go into that equation.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I see a potential calendar.
- Paul
Mattie, I'm not going to fight with you over this. If you want to split ends, say I'm a hypocrite, or engage in double standards, feel free. I don't care. Very simply, I know people who don't want to be referred to as hotties. By anyone. I see them on the list. I speak up. That's it. There are 50 people in the RGR, maybe 20 people see it regularly. That's a HUGE difference than the numbers of people who sub to the home feed. But you know what? Forget I even opened my mouth. Apparently I've become a prude...
- Derrick
That's not what I'm saying, Derrick. Now I understand what you meant by putting the photos up in the RGR versus what Haggis did. Did these women speak up for themselves and say they don't appreciate being called attractive?
- Mattie Kenny
<3 Derrick.. I appreciate what you are saying, and think it's very commendable that you are seeing this from an angle I didn't really see. I know you only have the best intentions with what you are saying. Please no more fighting over this..
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I just happen to know them, Mattie. And I didn't say they didn't appreciate being called attractive. I said they, knowing them as I do, woudn't appreciate being culled up on a list and pointed out for the world to ogle.
- Derrick
Sean, you know how I feel about you bud, and I'm not putting you on blast. Consider my hands washed of it.
- Derrick
Mattie, how about you look at it from the flip side...those women who DIDN'T make the list and don't have the benefit of feeling all bubbly inside because they've been deemed "attractive"? It's all well and good when you're on the winning team, apparently.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF

- George The Writer
Amanda - I don't think not being on the list deems you unattractive and I don't think Haggis is the be all end all of who is or is not attractive. Wow. I'm on the list. BFD. I don't feel or bubbly inside, nor did I take it very seriously. It didn't blip in my radar until I saw people taking major offense to Haggis having posted the list, in which case I looked at it & was surprised to see myself there. I'm not on any "team".

Brandy, you see this view when you go into one of your lists then select to Add/Remove friends.
- Kol Tregaskes
I think what Brandy is asking is if she can see someone else's list, which we can't. Haggis might have made a list that is friendfeed.com/list/hotties and he'll see it when he's logged in, but no one else would see it if they went to that same URL. He wouldn't even see it if he logged out and went to that URL.

Glad I didn't make the list lol
- Jeunelle Foster
I don't think I was subscribed to you when I made this list, Jeunelle. This is almost a year old! :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Don't misunderstand what I mean. I mean I am thankful I didn't make the list period. PRAISE THE LORD :)
- Jeunelle Foster
We should have an Academy Award of FriendFeed or something. That I would have a long ass speech prepared telling everybody how I'd like to thank all the little people who were responsible for me winning that award and it should be sponsored by Mashable and FFundercats :)
- Jeunelle Foster
How the FF did I miss this thread? Jan 27th??? Thank you! That's a huge compliment. And since it's so old, it's a fun time capsule too.

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?!
- Admiral Anika
They're talking military uses? This is crazy.
- Admiral Anika
Oh man! Dad knew the kid was inside, but thought the aircraft was tethered. How far as the balloon traveled?
- Admiral Anika
At least they know it flies. And well.
- Admiral 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.
- Admiral 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.
- Admiral Anika
So, that thing is filled with helium? Wow! I wonder if the kid can see what's going on.
- Admiral Anika
Holy crap. Watching right now.
- Rochelle
Whoah!
- ha3rvey (doesn't dance)
Uh-oh. Looks like the camera man lost the balloon.
- Admiral 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.
- Admiral 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!!
- Admiral Anika
Well I know what I'm watching today.
- teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
That is so bizarre. Hope he gets down.
- Lo is not learning
Looks like a UFO.
- Rochelle
I wonder if the dad will be charged for the $$$ of sending the Nat'l Guard out.
- Admiral Anika
aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
- JSNFLMNG
Oh no... They think the boy fell out.
- Rochelle
What??
- Jordan Hofker
Oh dear. :-(
- vicster needs a nap
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.
- Admiral 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.
- Admiral 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 needs a nap
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 needs a nap
:((
- 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.
- Admiral 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.
- Admiral Anika
damn, I hope that little guy is OK. :-(
- vicster needs a nap
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.
- Admiral Anika
Good point.
- Jordan Hofker
OMG. They just showed a close up of the door. That thing is like barely closed.
- Admiral 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 needs a nap
I'm watching MSNBC.
- Admiral Anika
live stream here online too: http://interactive.foxnews.com/livestr...
- Carlos Ayala
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.
- Admiral 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.
- Admiral 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.
- Admiral Anika
Smooth landing
- Rodfather
pretty gentle landing it looked like
- Jordan Hofker
LAND LAND LAND!
- Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
CNN showed it land. Did MSNBC?
- Rochelle
Come on kid, be okay
- Jordan Hofker
OMGOMOGMLmg, we're all like yelling at the office!

Yeah, they did, so did Fox
- Jordan Hofker
Msnbc - yes.
- Micah Wittman
How is he doing???
- Melissa
these dudes are scared to approach it!
- Carlos Ayala
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.
- Admiral Anika
Good. Guy finally punctured the other side.
- Admiral 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 needs a nap
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.
- Admiral 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.
- Admiral 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.
- Nurse Katie
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.
- Admiral 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 needs a nap
+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.
- Admiral 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!
- Admiral 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.
- Admiral 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
- Nurse Katie
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
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)

- Ryan Versaw

- 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
:-(
- Jordan Hofker
Awwww :(
- Lo is not learning
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
This is like the 21st century version of those old "boy stuck in a well" events. Except now it's Twitter instead of radio that everyone is paying attention to.
- Kevin Pedraja
Kevin, remember Baby Jessica? http://friendfeed.com/kekibir... and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Rochelle
RE. Baby Jessica, "A poll taken by The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press in 1997 that measured coverage of Princess Diana's death earlier that year found that in the previous decade, only Jessica's rescue rivaled the Paris car accident in worldwide attention." http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs...
- Micah Wittman
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
Oh damn http://www.ireport.com/docs...
- Rodfather
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
Ugh
- Jordan Hofker
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 is not learning
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 is not learning
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 is not learning
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 is not learning
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
They are on the news. http://mfile.akamai.com/12930...
- Rodfather
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 is not learning
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 is not learning
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!

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]

Nice find, Chris. "Man of science" indeed.

How to speak Australian: *Johnny scrambles up his path with a koala snapping at his bottom* PUPPY.

Doesn't this put your Aussie Man Card in jeopardy? All the Aussie blokes we see in movies and on TV do not get chased up anything, unless it's by at least a 60-foot long Croc :) Did the Koala look like a 60 foot croc when you first spotted him?

You should keep some eucalyptus leaves handy to throw them off your trails.

so Australia is living up to the fantasy I have of it in my head, built from movies in the 80s like A Town Called Alice and Thorn Birds. NICE.

It was Bruce. He is the dominant male in our area. I got out of the car and I heard some rustling from the trees. When I started to walk up the path, I saw him climb down and start walking towards me. He grunted very aggressively, something I don't want to stick around for so I bolted. I must have disturbed him having a root with one of his girlfriends.

I just love this thread!

this just proves the value of that welcome mat my mom used to have: 'Friends Welcome. Family - Make Reservations'. Maybe the little guy thought you were a distant cousin, and decided to relight the fire under the long standing family feud between the Worthingtons and the Koalas?

Some men get KO'd. Johnny gets KOala'd! I've heard those koalas have very sharp claws!

Maybe you forget to say "G'day Bruce!" when you saw it on your way up the walk!
