I think the giant porcelin vase was the best, or perhaps the nice arrangement of fresh lupins. (Dennis Boyd, Dennis Boyd, Riding Through the Glen)

The vase was nice...
But did you see the HUGE tacky urn...bigger than the person carrying it?

And am I the only one who thinks the looting is a good thing (Like getting back a tiny bit of what has been taken from them?)

[Mrs.Liberty]

I liked the guy holding what looked like a plastic bottle of vegetable oil...

"Fox - Shep saying that there's unconfirmed reports that we're trying to clean up the battlefield before the press arives. "

Drop a few MOABS on them (battlefield)....nothing left!

[golas1964]

apparently Shep got lots of emails that expressed the same 'screw the journalists' sentiment, and he's plenty PO'd about it.

Funiest looting scene I ever saw was during Rodney King riots in L.A. on local TV. Don't know if it made the bigger feeds.

Anyhoo, there's this van with a guy ramming a jewelry store to get some nice new baubles. A big crowd has gathered to cash in also.

The guy backs up the van several times and crashed into the metal mesh protecting the storefront. On about the 3rd try he punches it really good and puts a good likc on the barriers and his noggin at the same time.

The other looters rush the van and I'm thinking they are going to help the driver who is now oozing like a stuck pig.

Nope, they pull him out and reload the van with a new driver and press on to cracking the jewelry store open. That driver laid there in the street with people just stepping over him.

America's domestic enemies are on C-SPAN2 — the Democrat candidates for President. Leftists, Socialists, Liberals, Progressives, Anarchists — Certified Wankers.

[Mrs.Liberty]

well...what do the embedded's have to say about that, I wonder?

[TheLion]

"apparently Shep got lots of emails that expressed the same 'screw the journalists' sentiment, and he's plenty PO'd about it."

He's PO'd about the sentiment?

[GOPyouth]

Just turned the CBS cam on. Tanks still there. This place looks so much better without that statue. heh heh

Yep

[LauraJean]

I don't know if I would call him big, but he sure was determined.

[Sacajaweau]

The urn bigger than the person carrying it:...Martha would probably turn it into a shower stall. Which reminds me: Martha, you're stall is almost ready!!

[Mrs.Liberty]

yikes...grammar alert!

embeddeds vice embedded's

[Spunky]

wank
verb [I]
BRITISH AND AUSTRALIAN TABOO SLANG

Ya, some guys wank, but they can also be wankers without doing that.

[TheLion]

I didn't mean to bomb them...lol

[GOPyouth]

Not too happy about what the people were saying in their emails.

[InShanghai]

Did anyone else see the guy pulling a boat behind a bus without a trailer? That was my favorite looting picture!
