Where in the hell are my marshmallows!!! Huge fire in Kansas City, Kansas!!!



Huge fire at a petroleum plant in KCK, sadly it's interrupting INTENSE COVERAGE of the thunderstorm that rolled through town.

Here's a link:

Tank At Petroleum Plant Catches Fire

Naturally, TKC jumped into my TKC NEWS HELICOPTER (!!!) in order to get the latest breaking photos for all of you d-bags. Here is what I collected while risking my life for you ingrates . . .




Seriously, I hope nobody gets hurt or killed because of this thing . . . HOWEVER, as with all news events there are some funny things to watch for . . . Check it:

  • Local weather people fighting with newsies for control of the story.

  • Actually, Johnny Rowlands is probably the "star" of the news coverage of this fire . . . I don't trust any of the reported "breaking" news from the local anchors and most of it is irrelevant but the VIDEO that Rowlands is taking from the scene is pretty amazing i.e. much more spectacular than your crappy digital camera pics.

  • And most importantly, as with all disasters in the Kansas City area . . . EXPECT WIDESPREAD AND RAMPANT LIES ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE DISASTER!!! Remember the last toxic smoke cloud over Kansas City (courtesy of ChemCentral) and the way authorities downplayed the effects. Natch.

    Now for more reporting on my x-box live tournament which is also heating up . . . Also hoping that the entire metro area breathing gas fumes won't impact me in my mom's basement.

    Larry Moore got punked by a Howard Stern fan posing as a "Janitor" at the company where the fire is burning. Poor Larry was totally clueless.
    Local news, gotta love it.



    Does this mean that gas prices will jump ten to fifteen cents tomorrow?

    It would be more dramatic if it was terrorism.
