BALLOON BOY - Almost a Darwin Award

The world seems fascinated by this whole Balloon Boy thing. Personally, I think the parents of Balloon boy should be up for a Darwin Award or at least honorable mention.

As the story goes, six year old Falcon Heene (Balloon Boy) of Larimer County Colorado was playing around in his fathers oversized home made balloon. Balloon Boy's father, Richard Heene, used the balloon to track the weather.

Balloon Boy's father said he got angry with Falcon Heene (Balloon Boy) for climbing into a compartment in the tethered balloon on Thursday before the balloon was accidentally released. However, Falcon Heene (Balloon Boy) had left the balloon and hid in the attic of their garage because he was scared of his father. 'He yelled at me' said Balloon Boy in an interview after the Balloon landed in a field full of rescue workers without Balloon Boy in it.

The silver balloon, made by the Balloon Boy's father, reportedly reached heights of 7,000ft and floated about 40 miles north of Denver before it came down in a field full of rescuers, sans Balloon Boy.

When the Balloon landed, the basket was not attached to the balloon. Understandably, flights at Denver international airport were disrupted by the Balloon Boy incident.

No strangers to seeking out the limelight, The Heene family had apparently previously appeared on the ABC reality show Wife Swap. ABC described them as a "storm-chasing, science-obsessed family".

As a result of this Balloon Boy incident a massive search and rescue operation was undertaked when it was thought Balloon Boy had been carried away by a helium balloon. After a 2 hour highly televised rescue operation, Falcon Heene (Balloon Boy) was discovered hiding in a box in his family's attic, after the balloon deflated and landed in a dirt field after a two-hour flight. Larimer county sheriff Jim Alderden told reporters that apparently Falcon Heene had "been there the whole time". "What he said was that he saw his brother climb into that apparatus and he was very adamant, they interviewed him multiple times and that was his consistent story," Mr Alderden said "I can't tell you how many times this has happened over the course of my career," he added.

The drama was played out on TV, with US networks devoting their airtime to live footage of the balloon over Colorado. After being found in the attic Balloon Boy said "I was in the attic and he scared me because he yelled at me, that's why I went in the attic."

Girl killed by Laptop

Let me start out by saying, this is truly a sad situation, however, it does deserve mention in this blog and perhaps a submission to the Darwin Awards.

It seems a young girl in Romania zapped herself because she plugged her laptop into the wall WHILE IN THE BATH TUB. Do I really have to say anything else about it? Here is the article:


Maria Barbu, 17, of Brasov, Romania, is said to have been plugging her laptop into wall current at the time, after "the battery died during a long session on social networking site Twitter as she took a soak."

Additional details are lacking, and are unlikely to be forthcoming anytime soon. And it's unclear whether the laptop slipped from her hands or if she was so wet that the water dripping off of her closed the circuit and caused the shock.

Either way, any technology user should know by now that computers and bathrooms simply don't mix. (If you aren't worried about electrocution, think of the germs, won't you?) While GFCI circuits were designed to prevent tragedies such as the all-too-common hair-dryer-in-the-tub accident, they aren't perfect, and they aren't universal, especially overseas.

Shawn Johnson - Feeding the Pedofiles and Pervs

It is not surprising since US Olympian SHAWN JOHNSON WON DANCING WITH THE STARS LAST NIGHT that todays hot serch trends rotate around PICTURES OF SHAWN JOHNSON IN A BIKINI and SEXY PICTURES OF SHAWN JOHNSON. The thing people seem to be forgetting (or maybe not) SHAWN JOHNSON has not yet graduated from highschool.

I guess main stream media, marketing consultants, managers, TV Producers and of course SHAWN JOHNSON's parents have effectively narrowed the gap between acceptable and perversion by putting a 17 year old child on the stage with her breasts close to hanging out. It is no small wonder how SHAWN JOHNSON's dance partner Mark Ballas had a hard time keeping it in his pants a few weeks ago when he was sporting an obvious erection over his jailbait partner SHAWN JOHNSON (See MARK BALLAS ERECTION)

Add to this the freekbag stalker who was slammed with a restraining order after he broke into the DANCING WITH THE STARS set to see SHAWN JOHNSON, all because he felt the teenaged star was "Talking to him through the TV set". Of course that situation most likely involves a lapse in medication, the fact remains, SHAWN JOHNSON is being rapidly pushed into the adult world and the search terms are proof. One has to wonder when SHAWN JOHNSON will get her silicon boobs and when she will have a Britney Spearsesque breakdown.

For those of you still interested in SEXY PICTURES OF SHAWN JOHNSON

The epidomy of being useless in the kitchen - How to Cook HARD BOILED EGGS

This one really made me chuckle. I guess I shouldn't be cruel towards those who did not grow up in a household where home cooked meals were a staple and learning how to cook was done through some sort of mother son osmosis. The thing is, only days before the biggest egg based holiday in the western world the Internet is a-buzz with people looking for HARD BOILED EGG RECIPE'S... Is it just me or this just a little strange. I guess this is just a sign of the fast food buy your groceries at Raunchy McBarfs era.

Just so ya know


Hard Boiled Eggs

- Take a pot
- put sufficient water to cover the eggs in the pot (Preferably not toilet water)
- put pot with water on stove burner
- Turn the stove burner on high
- wait until water boils (That is when big bubbles form)
- slowly put eggs into the water. Careful do not drop them as they may crack
- Turn temperature down slightly to medium
- set timer for about 12 minutes for hard boiled
- when the timer makes its noise, take the pot off the stove and put in sink.

Once the eggs are cooled you can paint them. Careful not to use lead based or house hold paints. Food Colouring works or you can buy an egg painting kit at the grocery store (That is the place down the street from McDonalds)

Gap Casting Call - All the world is a cage

So today's hot search seems to be the Gap casting call. From doing a little research it seems Baby Gap is on the hunt for America's Cutest kids. Gap will select 20 finalists from the millions of pushy parents who submitted pictures of their child in hopes of fame and fortune (Probably a little bragging rights in there too.)

The thing is, do these parent look at the news? Do they see what is happening to other child "stars" like Britney Breakdown Spears, Miley Cyrus, The Olsen Twins and Gary Coleman (Who still looks the same as he did when he was on TV), to name just a few. Hollywood is an evil place and childhood fame is a seed to future dysfunction.

So parents, as you sit there voting for your child over and over again on the Gap Casting call website, take some time to enjoy your child as their innocence will soon be replaced with entitlement issues and drug addiction.

Either way, the GAP CASTING CALL is now over and the Gap casting call vote for the cutest babies in America will start on Monday December 8th.
