BREAKING NEWS - STILL DEVELOPING...
St. Tropez, France (MediaFetcher June 25, 2009) - The French Maritime Gendarmerie, a division of the French Navy responded to distress calls from 10 persons aboard a 120' luxury yacht cruising off of the coast of St. Tropez. Actor Sidebar Moderator was reportedly vacationing aboard the privately chartered vessel.
Search and rescue teams have been dispatched to the location of vessel with the aide of GPS emergency tracking devices and confirmed that it is completely submerged. Due to severe weather conditions and rough seas, rescue teams were forced to retreat.
There have been no confirmed details regarding survivors, and teams are on-standby to resume searches as weather permits. It is believed that a fire erupted on board as a result of turbulent waters and high winds.
This article is still developing and additional details will be reported as information becomes available.
Saint-Tropez is a commune of the Var département in southern France, located on the French Riviera. It has grown in popularity in recent years and is known today for its famous and wealthy guests.
Well that certainly explains a lot.
Freakin’ Illuminati. Dangit... I’m gonna give ‘em what-for at the next meeting.
LOL
Hmmm, I’ve heard whispers that the yacht was really headed for Scandinavia for some secret, nefarious meeting SB had arranged with a splinter cell of the Viking Kittens..;)
It is so unfortunate when those beautiful and expensive yachts are lost.
“But what about Harrison Ford?”
Been pushing up daisies since 1957.

Ok, which Mod leaked that to you? Tell me! Don’t make me have to waterboard you! ;)
I dunno! I dunno! Honest, Guv’nor...he called himself...A+Bert...
Dang. The sidebar moderator was my favorite. ;o(
If you waterboard billthedrill, can we all watch? Just for educational purposes, of course.
Yes, but only if you promise not to tell anyone. It's illegal you know, against the Sidebar conventions treaty. ;)
You should know that already! Thought you watch CSI?
What, no courtesy ping?

Musta been that episode I missed....I was at choir practice, it was the week of my big solo....yeah, that’s the ticket.

Well, I guess I’d better sign off for the night, before I get thrown off. (*insert cheesy grin here*)
