I'm really starting to stink.

That's just ketosis from the Atkins diet. Just go back to the Mediterranean, avoid garlic, and you're ok!

;-)

They were probably "cooking" up a victory.

Reports on ESPN say that the cause was a flash fire, but has been resolved.

Maybe this is a subtle way of saying that Al-Quida hasn't quite perfected their
technique with Molotov Cocktails...

ROBIN'S MOTHER: Oh, this is just a wonderful party!

ROBIN: The burgers should be ready in a minute.

GEORGE: Ah, great, great. <sniffs> What's that smell? Smoke? <walks to the kitchen> Hey everybody, I think I smell some smoke back here...<smoke boils into the doorway.> FIRE! FIRE! Get out of the way!

<The kids all scream and the party goes crazy. George barrels out of the kitchen, pushing down kids, clowns and old ladies in a mad panic to escape. He runs out the door and leaves everyone behind.>

Cut to George sitting in the back of an ambulance with an oxygen mask on his face.

GEORGE (to the EMTs): It was an inferno in there! An inferno! <Eric, Robin's mother, and all the kids rush at George.>

ERIC: There he is! That's him! <Tries to clobber George with his big shoe.>

ROBIN'S MOTHER: That's the coward that left us to die!

Cut back to George attempting to explain his cowardly actions to Robin, her mother, Eric and a fireman from the back of the ambulance at the party.

GEORGE (voice is hoarse from screaming): I...was trying to lead the way. We needed a leader! Someone to lead the way to safety.

ROBIN: But you yelled "get out of my way"!

GEORGE: Because! Because, as the leader...if I die...then all hope is lost! Who would lead? The clown? Instead of castigating me, you should all be thanking me. What kind of a topsy-turvy world do we live in, where heroes are cast as villains? Brave men as cowards?

ROBIN: But I saw you push the women and children out of the way in a mad panic! I saw you knock them down! And when you ran out, you left everyone behind!

GEORGE: Seemingly. Seemingly, to the untrained eye, I can fully understand how you got that impression. What looked like pushing...what looked like knocking down...was a safety precaution! In a fire, you stay close to the ground, am I right? And when I ran out that door, I was not leaving anyone behind! Oh, quite the contrary! I risked my life making sure that exit was clear. Any other questions?

FIREMAN: How do you live with yourself?

GEORGE: Its not easy.

Well it's too late to avoid the garlic. But maybe I'll wind down the evening with a glass of good California Cabernet. Got to get up at 5AM and do my three miles!

flash fire

Someone threw a match in the cooks hair, started a grease fire.

Memo to Al-Quida leaders from Texas cell: Tequila cannot be used as a substitute in recipe provided.

They were going to lose anyway, and pulled him so they have an excuse.

Does this seem like an overreaction to anyone else but me?

You're an idiotic naysayer.

You should be nicknamed "Dr. No" on Free Republic. Your glass is always empty.

Good shot of Magic. Not that many years ago most thought he would only be around for a year or two longer. Amazing.

You can get vertigo climbing up those upper deck stairs.

Imagine if a panic broke out, say from some billowing acrid smelling smoke, or a sniper firing randomly.

Sooner or later, it's going to happen.

This is what a stadium massacre could look like.
