Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service (tm), the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

Now I cant go to sleep til this guy is off air!

[reformed_democrat]

G'night, Prairie. Sleep well.

[Mo1]

Who is this guy talking to on the CBS cam?

[Timeout]

I'd give anything to hear what his producers are saying to him.

[pitinkie]

He just said World News Now.

Re: the "missing dolphin"

I heard a short story a day or two ago which stated Flipper came back to work after being AWOL for two days. I didn't hear if they gave the dope a Letter of Reprimand, or Section Eight, but I'm pretty sure there was no court martial.

[Jaded]

I was wrong. He is PMSNBC. His nick name is Fred. He can't be Achmed. He has pointy hair. The more he tries the worse he gets. So they axed him or the batteries ran out.

[pitinkie]

OWWWWWW

[pitinkie]

Loud Mic!

[two23]

"We need to get him some glass cleaner for those goggles!

It looks like they EAT dust and sand, daily. I would hate that environemnt! Despite all that--they are cleaning-clock, huh?!

[Carolina]

I'd give anything to hear what his producers are saying to him.

There he goes...Bye, Elvis.

[cyncooper]

what is an IFB?

I don't know. Why do you ask (me)?

[pitinkie]

Well my entertainment over...wait there is a hand.

[Daniel Ramsey]

Yeah Fred was "blubberin" LOL, so they pulled the plug? said they were on a generator, outa gas?

[two23]

Are you watching that CBS Bag-Cam? What WAS that pretty-boy talking about??? Did he even KNOW he was "on"???

[Jaded]

Hey but the CBS feed works. It looks to be in B&W, but that could just be me.

[Carolina]

Oh, noooooo. Mr. Hand!

[pitinkie]

Just asking the thread..the guy on camera said he didnt want to mess it up. :-)

[Ramius]

He was probably just checking out the neighborhood... found it wanting for company... and decided that a C-17 flight back to San Diego was the only thing to do.

100?
