Our bank, our bank, our bank is on fire!

Put the game back on, dammit.

Yeah, I've been watching the news reports off and on for a couple hours now.

And since it's located about two miles from me, all the ambulances and fire trucks racing over there.

How awful.

I keep putting it back on ABC and going, "Goddamn it, the game is still not back on?!" At least the Bulls are playing.

God I love it when newscasters can't use a teleprompter. They have to be the god-damndest stupidest people on earth. Reminds me of the fire at Rock Center, and Matt Lauer had to broadcast live from the street. Monty Python never wrote anything so funny.

I loved how the woman newscaster kept saying it was on the 35th or something floor and the guy kept correcting her saying" no, reports are that it's on the 29th". I think this happened three times in an hour.

I just hope they got everyone out of there. I know they've already reported 18 injuries including a firefighter.

I know that's the bank location my family's company deals with and my dad and brother are always there for meetings. I'm just happy it didn't happen at a time when they were there.

I'm hoping it's a disgruntled staffer torching the place. Or someone trying to destroy the evidence of a Treasury scam.

Not happy about missing CSI.

it's a re-run. the one where they introduced gary sinise & the ny squad.

whew, that makes me feel better

I almost thought it had something to do with this for a minute. thank god it doesn't.[/url]

Wow. It's still raging. There's actually a helicopter that's been perched to the south of our balcony window(well way up in the sky but I can see it) for the past half hour or so.

Apparently there's now just over 25 injuries, 15 critical, 12 of them firefighters. Or something like that.

Looks like it's not stopping anytime soon.

that darn kitten!

LOL

I can assure he had nothing to do with it. He's been at home all night sleeping on the bed.

I protest. Sportscasters are slightly dumber. And announcers. Oh, and sales managers.

Pretty much copyeditors and secretaries are the ones with the brains.

Can we get a link to what the hell it is you Chicagoans are talking about?

a bunch of streets are blocked off in the loop today too. i was trying to get to work and a cop had to question me before letting me get past the yellow tape. weird.

Just in case you happened to be on your way to set fire to a bank or something. You never know.

That was one of the worst fires in Chicago history, luckily I didn't get hurt.

You were there?

No, but I about pulled a muscle on the way to the fridge. *applause and laughter*

That's my stapler...

I'm probably reading this wrong, but was lockness talking to himself and answering his own questions earlier?

Awesome... and surreal.

Surrawesome!
