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.
Outrageous and unfortunate that he did.
I hope he stays out of the airport. Really. Mark Sanford, Larry Craig, Michael Vick, John Delorean - everyone gets caught at the airport.
I believe that is ole sidebar in the pic with teddy.
In his younger days of course.
OMG - HOW TRAGIC!
Will Religion Moderator perform the Memorial Service?
LMAO
Bubbles is having a rough day.
Very sad indeed. Is Mars bar still with us?
How about “Lead” Moderator is he/she OK?
_______________________________________________________
Lead Moderator is rumoured to have been a “guest” on the Yacht. Being lead - therefore too heavy to effect any buoyancy - lead moderator sank with the vessel.
A religion moderator will facilitate the memorial.
We may have to “resort” to the Acting Lead moderator to maintain order on FR.
A.A.C.
Prayers for Sidebar’s family during this ordeal. Hopefully he/she was wearing a life jacket.
This thread should be left in “Breaking” as a lasting tribute to Sidebar. Think of all the trolls who were zotted over the years. Oh the memories.
Wow.
Thanks for the info.
Prayers for him & family.
Thailand??
Was the skipper named Kennedy by any chance?
A proper Zarathustrian service takes days to perform. And it’s all spoken in an archaic language.
Keep your beeber stuned!
A.A.C.
Who cares...
As long as the ToplessBar Moderator is still in good shape.
(She keeps threatening to pull my post...whadya spose she means...)
And now for something completely different:
Alas, poor Sidebar! I knew him, Admin Moderator: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that.
