They danced and jumped to celebrate homecoming weekend. Then the floor gave way.

Fires in overcrowded rooms or facilities can kill lots of people. Those who hang out by the escape routes survive.

There have been a lot over the years:

I remember this one, as a business partner lost his daughter in it:

Pyrotechnics in an enclosed bldg, w/ escape routes unmarked and several locked/chained from the outside.

Dumbshits.

Well, the hogs at the trough suggests itself because Tester looks like one, in the animal and political sense.

Same with gravy train...a guy like Tester does nothing while in office except to advance his own power and wealth.

Take a little here, grab a little there, what a peach of a job for a rooting swine like himself who has never ever done anything else of note.

As our local conservative talk show often points out, Tester has NEVER carried the vote in his home county.

NOW, I see what you mean. $10 says he hasn't seen his dick feet in years, or knees either. He's a walking heart attack.

Right!

He’s a (barely) walking advertisement for what is wrong with Washington too.

Friends of my ex and I lost their son, Joey Casio, in the Oakland Warehouse fire, where he was performing that night.

He was an adopted son of wonderful Christian parents but just didn’t fit in with normal people. They think he may have had fetal alcohol syndrome. Joey was a 6’10 loner who never had a happy life once he left home. Really sad.

Yeah - in the military, we were taught to go into route step - going out of step - when going over smaller bridges and such because staying in step (dancing to the music) was known to set up vibrations that could bring a seeming solid structure down...

It’s a metaphor and a very accurate one at that. Whatever people are standing on and trusting in, if it is not Christ, it will fall beneath their feet and it will be astonishingly horrific. With a slight exception, the whole world will literally come to an end before Christ takes his rightful place as King of kings and Lord of lords.
