A boiler explosion caused a partial building collapse on 19th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. WCBS-880 in New York reports that at least 31 people are injured.

I am a little reluctant to post the article, because of potential copyright violations. Sorry......

james,You can register for the Times Online for free. It is a nice place to turn to for news. If you do so, you could read the article. I don't mean to state the obvious, but there aren't any catches when you register.
I like the new pic by the way. your hair and devilish grin frighten me a bit though.

It's a "Carrot Top" wig. AMC would fire him if he went to work with a smile on his face as well.

Register to read a Newspaper. Thats stupid! Its as stupid as having to register to see the video clips at CNN. I can go to the Chicago Tribune and read all the news I need to, and its a really great paper.

Ok, I didnt realize that it was a free registration.
I just clicked on it and saw that you ahd to be registered and closed the window.Joe Beres, thanks for the compliment.
Ive gotten comliments when I wear it that way and Ive gotten compliments on other various hairstyles Ive used since late 1997.
Im suprised I got away with some of them at work.
Id love to be able to go into work one day with my hair like it is in the picture.
That would be fun to see the look on other peoples faces.
I wish I had pictures of some of the other hair styles Ive used, but I only have one picture of one of them.
If i can find it one day, Ill post it here for you.
And for the record, Joe Redifer, the hair you see is 100% all the way real.

I still want to know what an "elposion" is. Could it be a poeson from da Bronx riding da Myrtle Avenue El?

Nice Brenkert.I think the model # is BX100 made under licence for RCA after they bought Brenkert. We have two of these at the Mason's Theatre in Telluride Colorado. But yours looks nicer.
Posted by Paul G. Thompson (Member # 655) on 04-28-2002, 04:20 PM:
Ian, he spent alot of hours on that thing.
Posted by Josh Jones (Member # 447) on 04-28-2002, 06:59 PM:
I just got done putting permatex on the shutter shaft oil collector so that should stop the majority of the "wet paint" oil leaks. I am also putting permatex(blue) on the rear window seal to stop that leak.
Also notice the paper towel wedged under the oil pump window? that is the one leak in this machine that cannot be stopped.Josh

So do you wear the cap to keep warm where you live or to be cool? And by "cool" I mean phiggidy, tight-bangin', phat, ownz, da bomb, word to yo mutha, roxor, yo.
Posted by Josh Jones (Member # 447) on 04-29-2002, 09:06 AM:
mainly to keep me warm, but during the winter I wear it inside too.
dont ask me why, I dont knowJJ

I know this is off-topic, but Paul, ever since your “new” picture was posted, I can't help asking ... “Is that a weenie in your hand, or are you just glad to see me?"
>>> Phil
Posted by Paul G. Thompson (Member # 655) on 04-30-2002, 10:48 PM:
Phil, I actually got the idea about a picture like that after I was dubbed "The Weenie Man" and I thought it would be cool to follow Joe Redifer's orginal picture. Instead of the finger Joe gives, I thought I would use a frozen weenie.
Kind of brings back a memory of a Woody Allen movie some time ago, where the lawyer bangs a weenie on the desk and asks, "Don't you understand the Penal Code?"
I have to admit, this is one of the most diversified tread I have ever seen on FT in such a short period of time.

A New Zealand Flag was rescued from the ruins of the Trade Centre NYC and presented to the NZ Government. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?thesection=news&thesubsection=&storyID=1842718&reportID=61063

Phil,
We have to keep this between you and me...The truth is Paul had an accident aboard ship when he was on active duty. One night he went out drinking with the guys and when they returned to the ship, he went into the kitchen and took the pickle slicer to bed with him. Well, one thing lead to another and Paul lost his member. He now carries around with him and uses it as a pointer. If it was truly a weiner he would have cooked and eaten it by now. Remember now this is a secret.
Posted by Joe Beres (Member # 678) on 05-01-2002, 02:52 PM:
hey Paul, before Woody Allen comes to kick your butt you should apologize, as the scene you are referring to is from The Kentucky Fried Movie.
Posted by Paul G. Thompson (Member # 655) on 05-01-2002, 03:12 PM:
Joe:
Oh, Jeeze.....I apologize to Woody Allen....... You were right - It was Kentucky Fried Movie. Bob, <ahem> I'll have you know that everything has been is present and accounted for during morning muster for the last 62 years.....
I could see the possibility of that happening to the Chief Master-At-Arms on one carrier I was on....., more specifically, The USS Oriskany (CVA-34)

Paul, Semper Fi...Here's wishing you a happy voyage home....

Taking this thread and putting it back on topic . . .Yesterday there was a transformer explosion and oil fire at a Con Edison power plant in lower Manhattan. That blacked out the West Village, Soho and TriBeCa -- more precisely, the West Side north to 14th Street, south to Barclay Street, east to Broadway and west to the Hudson River.
Nearly all the arthouses in Lower Manhattan were closed Saturday since they were in the blackout zone. All the mainstream theaters and the Sunshine Cinema arthouse remained open.
