Look Out Belooooooow!

On Monday in Modesto, a 10-year-old boy was caught a tad off guard when a hunk of ice the size of a bowling ball crashed through the roof and hit him on the head. The poor little guy was probably scared out of his mind. ice.jpgAll nine people inside the house (Was there a party we were not invited to?) fled when the ice came through the living room ceiling. A hole in the roof measured three-feet wide.

The mother of the boy described the unexpected disturbance as “a big old boom.” See, this is sounding more and more like a party to us. Police show up and there's a massive amount of crushed ice on the floor . . . Mmmmhmmm. Sounds like mojito time to us. Who's got mint?

Thank goodness the kid is OK. Authorities believe an airplane was somehow involved, but the Federal Aviation Administration claims to know nothing about what might have happened. Unfortunately, all the evidence melted.

I hope the ice wasn't dark blue; most likely that'd be toilet water from the plane.

(too lazy to read T.F.A.)

 

Deborah-

They made an intentional drop, aiming for one of those Sunnyside garbage cans that had been left out.
Bad miss.

 

I thought this was about a drug bust at first, me bad.

 

LOL. Whenever I walk around in our hood, all I can see are unsightly trash bins. Black, Green, Blue, Black, Green, Blue . . .

 

Did the lad spin off into a tangent universe?

 

We just found out that we live next to a one bedroom house with 10-15 people living there. None of them will say hello to us or even look us in the eye. I wish some frozen poop would fall on them and their ugly mini-van! They always park to close to our driveway - 'cause their garage is full of JUNK. At least they keep their garabage cans in their weed-filled backyard. One day I saw them trimming the weeds (like a hedge) and watering them - WTF?

 

Dearest Guest 6,

What part of town are you in?

It sounds like they might be part of that cult YWAM that Brock just posted about. As long as they are not burying bodies in the back yard, you'll be OK.

Actually, you should call 311 and ask the Building Dept to come and make a surprise house inspection. It's so unsafe to have that many people living in a small house, especially if they are all smoking the weeds they cut down from their yard...
