Nads: BREAKING Injuries reported in Kansas City Business dstrict

[franksolich]

There are two reasons for that. The Military and Telemarketers. Without a doubt both need to have the best phone connections to survive and the Midwest has benefitted for it.

While Kansas City as a "crossroads" for communication and commerce is nothing to sneeze at, simply because of geography, nearly all must pass through Omaha at one time or another, given its even more central location.

The oblate spheroid's town is pretty much a dead end; whatever trickles there must stop, as it can't go any further.

I think the oblate spheroid needs to get out more.

Actually, she's been worse than this today.

Earlier she reported--in General Discussion, not in the California forum--about some minor highway in San Diego being closed.

It turned out to be infrastructure related.

That OP got itself hijacked something fierce. 
Best part was this....Those two are just begging for the inhanced iggy list.

Someone reported a strong gas smell. Later an office building was evacuated. 4

1. So infrastructure might be it after all

A fire log should settle that.

2. Doesn't appear to be

From the LA Times.

"Berardi said firefighters were called at about 5:15 p.m. with a report that a construction worker had hit a gas line near the restaurant. Firefighters talked to utility workers and left the area. The explosion took place about 45 minutes later and the fire burned for about 50 minutes until it was brought under control, the fire chief said.

The utility, Missouri Gas Energy, which supplies the area, said in a statement that “early indications are that a contractor doing underground work struck a natural gas line.”"

Best to wait for the actual report.

I wonder if this DUmmy even knows what caused the outage in the first place.

Probably not.

Got a hunch s/h/it, does.
Looks like an evil shot at Teh gNads. 
I don't think she caught it.

I dunno about any zoos in Kansas City, but probably it'd freak the oblate spheroid if she nadined it, and found out that Omaha has the biggest and best zoo in the world, putting the San Diego Zoo in the shadows.

Can you imagine if the old Mutual of Omaha with Marlin Perkins was still around AND traveled to San Diego?

Marlin Perkins: Today we're in the forests of San Diego attempting to trap a most odd and interesting creature. No one has made a definite classification of the creature. We are in the forests as the creature is reported to frequent areas of potential forest fires. You will see we have some bait set for the creature. A dictionary as the creature is believed to be fond of adding words to the dictionary and a laptop computer. Many of you may be asking why a laptop? Well, this creature is known to frequent internet message boards and lord its pretend superiority over others. If you look closely you can see Jim Fowler crouched in the edge of the bushes near the bait.

(a sound is heard)

Marlin Perkins: Oh! There it is. Notice the camera around its neck? Today it must be pretending to be a reporter. Okay…it sees the bait. It's easing closer. It appears to be trying to decide whether to create some new words or display internet arrogance. There it goes! It's going for the laptop! Jim is ready to make his move to capture the creature. Careful Jim. Careful. Don't spook it.

(Jim jumps out and grabs the creature)

Marlin Perkins: GET IT JIM!!!!!!!

Whoa, that is funny.

Hiliarious!

Not sure this is any way funny.    I believe we are front seat to Nads melt down, not a pretty sight.

Some thing is going on in her life that is is causing her to melt,   Hubby got a girlfriend ????

If it's a meltdown it's the longest/slowest meltdown in the history of the world because she's just as nadinistic now as she's always been; however, if you are correct vesta just look on the bright side: nads has so much experience at everything that she can take care of whatever pops up.

In my favorite episode Marlin and Jim were helicoptered over the Everglades to an open area of weeds in maybe three feet of water.

A black bear was galloping through the water, fleeing the helicopter noise, and for some reason they wanted to lasso it.

They dropped into the water, and both of them got their lasso around the bear's neck from opposite sides.

When it lunged at Marlin, Jim would yank it back. When it lunged at Jim, Marlin would yank it back.

Until once it lunged at Marlin, and Jim dropped his rope.

Marlin was desperately high-stepping through near waist-high water, with the bear galloping toward him.

The helicopter hovered low enough for Marlin to grab a skid, then lifted him up just in time, as the bear swatted at empty air.

The bear fled from Jim, so both guys were able to get into the helicopter and haul ass away.

I have no idea why they roped the bear.

I guess it was supposed to be dramatic,  but it was one of the funniest TV shows I've ever seen.

I agree. To me it got funnier as time passed because Marlin was getting up there in age and Jim had to carry almost all of the physical load. Whenever Marlin said something like "WE are going to look at one of the world's largest snakes" it meant that poor Jim was fixing to fight for his life solo against a huge boa or python.

Am I so old that I'm actually picturing this and laughing my ass off, then Marlin goes into one of his "folksy" Mutual of Omaha commercials?

At least Marlin liked squirrels.
Leave Marlin aloooone!

Your not the only one but damn that shit was funny. Even better when Johnny Carson would crack on them during his monologues.
