Saturday Night Live cast member, very excellent comic actress.

excellent, i always knew my sister was funny, but famous? i'll have to hit her up for some money.

Perhaps your aunt was responsible for the story's embellishments ... you'll have to castigate her severely. The reporter may have actually just reported.

lookout123 · 12-28-2004, 12:06 PM

it's possible i suppose. i'll have to beat the truth out of her, next time i go to illinois.

Praise Jesus and pass the elephants.

Glad to hear that your sis is alright, Lookout. Some very, very scary stuff going on over there.

Kitsune · 12-28-2004, 02:03 PM

I'm also glad to hear she is safe! But...

"It is insane to think of all that was occurring as God sheltered us high above on the mountain," she said.

"It's not just a coincidence. It was God's hand that kept her safe," Ms. Smith's aunt, Barb Ritter, said.

...does this mean God purposely killed the 44,000+ other people?

lookout123 · 12-28-2004, 02:49 PM

yes. yes, kitsune that is exactly what it means.

Elspode · 12-28-2004, 03:27 PM

God was bored, kind of like a little kid with a big lens standing over an anthill.

Worst thing: Me closing the Manifestos here.

Best thing: Me deciding to stay here and hang out with you guys...you're welcome.

Not a great video but good enough to get an idea.

From rooftop looking down on Patong Beach, Thailand:

Originally, I would have said that the worst event this year was the Utah woman that refused to have a C-section, apparently for vanity reasons, and one of the fetuses died.

Then came the incident in Skidmore, MO with the mother-to-be.

Now we've had the earthquake and tsunamis in South Asia.

I have seen and heard some really fucked up things in my 29 years of life...these 3 items are among the worst...the last 2 easily make my all-time top 10.

elSicomoro · 12-28-2004, 11:50 PM

Oh...the best thing: Regardless of whom you voted for, the elections went relatively well...thank God!

Next time lets just ask Rove ahead of time who the President will be and save a few bucks.

Kitsune · 12-29-2004, 10:00 AM

How big was the tsunami-causing earthquake? Big enough to make your days a fraction of a second shorter.
