Not seeing this unfold in real time makes me regret leaving Facebook. This is fantastic.

That's about as nuts as the kids bustin out window a Burger King cause a caller said there was a gas leak. Is this what we've become?

Jimi, that one sounds a bit more serious, maybe not really funny. Haven't seen that story.

Made me think of this though. No broken Windows here but a few cordless phones meet their end. It's pretty long but had a good payoff.

I just can't believe that people will believe this stuff to the extent that they do.

What's more shocking to me is that Limp Bizkit has fans

I think (hope) everybody knew it was a joke. Although it being Dayton I'm sure there were more than a few people that were hoping it was true.

I'm gonna out myself right now but, I really liked their first 2 records. I also really like Wes Borland. He is (I think) a very good and inventive guitarist.

P.T. Barnum.

Human nature hasn't changed since then.

I can tell you now, if I heard from a reputable source that Limp Bizkit was going to play at the local petrol station, *I'D* be on my feet and moving. They always put on a good show with lots of energy, from what I heard.
