With regards to the SFO crash landing, a local news station, KTVU/Oakland/San Francisco, at noon today broadcast the four pilots names from South Korea that flew the doomed Boeing 777. Amazing.  :o  And funny as hell.  :rofl:

I just copied/sent this original post to the guy I bought my R/T from. He was a live truck engineer at KTVU for a few years. I'm sure he hasn't heard about this yet otherwise he would have called me screaming a blue streak about those knuckleheads.

I'm waiting for the call......

What a sad miserable place it would be if we didn't get to laugh at least once a day.
Laughing is what gets us through.

I've just had to have my dog put down. What a bloody sad day. But you what.........we thought about some of the funny things he did and we had a good laugh. No reason you can't have a good laugh even when life's being a bitch.

Sorry to hear about your buddy Fred.  But, glad to hear that the memories are more about how much fun your dog was throughout his and yours life  then the last moments.

You got a point there fred
Technically it was funny in the way that the new station didnt do any quality check of its news material before publishing it to the world.

That article said the Taiwanese animators played into neary every Asian stereotype but I didn't see anything about bad driving. I think that should be #1. Unless the plane crash itself explains that.
