The Hangout

If you are 30+...
...and want to laugh then I
have a video you should rent:
The Towering Inferno.

My wife had never seen so she rented it
at Hollywood. I had seen it as a kid but
did not remeber it.

After fajitas, beer, and a safety meeting
we settled in the bean bags to view this
long movie and cracked up.

Things to enjoy: a building w/ 135 floors,
numerous people w/o rigs jumping from
said B, someone on fire walking every
12 minutes, OJ's wacky acting, and so
much orange you will think you are
having a flash backs from the 70s.

Hey Leroy,

After watching your vids, I know you'd dig it.

I only added the age thing so that the 20
somethings would not waste their time. By
the way, the other day in class I mentioned
the Cold War and had a room full of blank
stares -- I found that down right scary. Crazy

I had a very similar experience with a group of BASE jumpers here a while back when I mentioned Apartheid.

You would think everybody would have some background on the "Robin Heid" hatred. Crazy
