BREAKING NEWS - STILL DEVELOPING...
St. Tropez, France (MediaFetcher June 25, 2009) - The French Maritime Gendarmerie, a division of the French Navy responded to distress calls from 10 persons aboard a 120' luxury yacht cruising off of the coast of St. Tropez. Actor Sidebar Moderator was reportedly vacationing aboard the privately chartered vessel.
Search and rescue teams have been dispatched to the location of vessel with the aide of GPS emergency tracking devices and confirmed that it is completely submerged. Due to severe weather conditions and rough seas, rescue teams were forced to retreat.
There have been no confirmed details regarding survivors, and teams are on-standby to resume searches as weather permits. It is believed that a fire erupted on board as a result of turbulent waters and high winds.
This article is still developing and additional details will be reported as information becomes available.
Saint-Tropez is a commune of the Var département in southern France, located on the French Riviera. It has grown in popularity in recent years and is known today for its famous and wealthy guests.
sidebar ping
I had oral surgery today, sans nitrous oxide (damn them), and during my thoughts of a scalpel penetrating my gums, I was reminded of your participation on this thread, and my exuberance at the possibility that I might have a shot at the...ahem...dearly departed Sidebar Moderator’s job.
I’ve decided to leave it all up to YOU! I’m not suited for the job, however I do have great expectations for you.
I am in your corner WRT longevity in the job, and you deserve the post as Sidebar Mod more than anyone I know.
Too, you will get a very large mansion, with a pool house...
and many race cars...*drool*
My vote is for YOU, and you just might have a permanment resident in the Guest House........provided you have a Cabana Boy. ;o)
I think one of your relatives has passed on.
;)
“Sidebar reported missing”
Wealthy punters pay £3,500 per day to patrol the most dangerous waters in the world hoping to be attacked by raiders.
When attacked, they retaliate with grenade launchers, machine guns and rocket launchers, reports Austrian business paper Wirtschaftsblatt.
Is there any chance this is what Sidebar was REALLY doing on that yacht? Perhaps the other story was an ill conceived cover, like hiking the Appalachian Trail, and Sidebar, drunk that he was, got shot by a pirate.
The Utility Belt preformed flawlessly.
The freeze-dried Life Boat aired up as soon as we were out of sight of the Yacht to prevent the culprit(s?) responsible for my ejection from getting a fix on my location.
The 3TPS NGC is instrumental to getting to the bottom of this situation.
I won't mention who the key suspects are, but as I am THE Sidebar Moderator it could be jealousy from my colleagues who want control of the sidebar.
Excuse me for now, Mandy is about to serve the appetizers as it is close to dinner time.
[Even thought Mandy was freeze dried until revived for duty, she preforms her duties quite well.]
This Utility Belt 7.0 is far advanced from the obsolete models the Admin Moderators were issued many years ago.
Hey, you’re dead~!
Well, maybe not, but they said you were...
Yes, those IOU's were great for starting the Barbecue after 3 countries refused to honor them.
Heading into port, we will be incommunicado for a bit.
WOW! GREAT TO HAVE YA BACK, SIDEBAR! We were worried sick!!! ;)
Thanks!
The oceanic T-1 cable I spliced into works fantastic.
Working on my tan lines.
Is this for real? If so, RIP Sidebar Moderator. If not, can I be the Button Bar Moderator (Windows 3.1 joke)?
Still developing?
.
This blows my mind, I thought the name was familiar. Do wish things wouldn’t leave my mind like they do! :-[
Neither will sleazy Tiger Woods mistresses, well, except maybe that hot #11.......
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Even if this ModVanity is way old.
This must have been posted by the Mod who interjects into discussions and way hilarious!
Since then I was demoted to Admin Moderator. It takes 7 years (hamster years) to become Sidebar Moderator, and once the demotion kicks in, you can never be SM again.
I was rescued by some natives and taken to an exotic South Pacific island and nursed back to health.
Sailed around for quite some time, feigning continuing injuries so I could keep being nursed by the natives in Grass Skirt Nurse uniforms. They crewed the Sidebar Yacht.
Admin Moderators must share a Bentley for transportation.
Not that bad, but we miss the crew on the Yacht.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
You the most hilarious Mod. You are the only we appreciate stepping right into a thread and sprinkling some humor with Mod dust.
