Please know that I certainly didn't mean to stir up anything when I forwarded this pic to Cajun Boy last night my time (6 hours later than NY). Someone sent it to me without identifying where he or she found it, and I felt it was okay for me to send to Cajun Boy. I meant no harm to anyone. I hope that this message clears up any feelings that may be hurt. I also hope that I don't sound like a nut in the event that someone else before me was Cajun Boy's source for receiving this.
Look at all this bitching at you ... as though you have some history of not linking to sources. Relax assholes! CB deserves a grand 'ol "welcome back" from us.
So welcome back and thanks for the LOL. Fuckin' comedy
The best part of all this for me was I was in the NOLA airport with the cable news blaring balloon boy over the screen as Airforce 1 was taxing down the runway right in front of my eyes.
Hmm, I thought. With the President leaving NOLA, one would think there must be SOME other news to blare on the monitor...
But, ballon boy was still all the rage on the news when we changed plans in Birmingham an hour or so later...
Coming Not-soon to a reality show near you in a distant future..... the drugs-addled, psychologically destroyed, 23-year-old Z-List celebrity known the world over as "Balloon Boy"!! Desperately attempting to recapture and capitalize on a desperate attempt at fame first dreamed up by his father, Balloon Boy will square off against Tonya Harding with a selection of actual Ninja weapons in the Ring of Death Fight to the Finish for a prize purse of $35!

@casey...what do you mean?
Dear Cajun Boy and Casey,
Please know that I certainly didn't mean to stir up anything when I forwarded this pic to Cajun Boy last night my time (6 hours later than NY). Someone sent it to me without identifying where he or she found it, and I felt it was okay for me to send to Cajun Boy. I meant no harm to anyone. I hope that this message clears up any feelings that may be hurt. I also hope that I don't sound like a nut in the event that someone else before me was Cajun Boy's source for receiving this.
All the best
I mean, see the link in the comment below mine. Why wouldn't you link to the source, or at least the source where you saw it?
@ruth/casey...thanks ruth. casey I always link back to a source when I find something, but this was emailed to me and I'd no idea where it came from.
