I can't believe this made national news; I am cringing. I don't even want to read the comments.

The Flying Farmer should have let James Bond teach him how to do that jump...

 8)  Indeed he should have.

He used a pillow (!) as a buffer inside the car. He ended up in the ICU.

You don't get an em dash? How about ALT + 215, the beautiful multiplication sign?  ;)

I'll DM you the original post, Barry. I had it up for awhile, and some people read it before I chickened out.

Just realized I left out the 0, so it should be Alt + 0151. I'm sure your mind can rest easy now, Barry.  ;)

I agree, Kev.  Sir Sean Connery was the quintessential James Bond...

Sir Roger Moore added a bit of levity to the role...

Just stumbled across this online and found it too poignant not to share. Brings back so many memories.

Im afraid Normandie has left us, she is apparently working very long hours and decided to take a break from the forum.
She wanted her account to be deactivated so she wasnt continually tempted to post. We can reactivate her account when she decides to come back, which hopefully she will do (she has said that she will come back).

What Rudy Giuliani was to the NYC area after the 9/11 attacks, Charles Moose was to the terror-stricken DC area during the 2002 sniper shootings. I feel this as an almost personal loss. Will never forget those weeks. RIP Chief Moose.

Sigh. . . Not that I'd choose Italy, necessarily, but somewhere. . . Maybe just back East. . .
