  4. And being another slow news Tuesday in the big city 3 out of 4 local TV stations have been covering it burning wall to burning wall except of course for the network evening news. Assholes @ 41 even had the audacity to preempt Jeopardy so douchebag Christa could get more facetime. It's a fukking warehouse for Christs sake.

    Once you say there's a fire on Southwest Boulevard, that covers the situation. Who needs to know all the details? Gary Amble even tied the fire into the (incomplete) weather report.

    They hate us for our furniture.

  11. 8:18--- Gary Gayzak beats that with saying that the fire would not delay the start of tonight's Royals game. Watching he and Christa constantly interrupt each other for face time was a hoot.

  13. 9:63-----Nah, Gary and Christa are fine.
