Tiny bomb in Time Square...

NY Times

Good morning, New York.

 

[Hal Phillips]

I work right there, so they were probably trying to kill me.

 

[SixSider]

I wasn't trying to kill you Hal. Just send a message.

I mean "they." Not "I." "They."

Are you talking about the Little Mermaid musical?

Are you talking about the Little Mermaid musical?

he said 'tiny.' not 'huge and nauseating.'

The police have attributed the blast to an improvised explosive device

Hal, I think they are trying to frame you more than kill you.

Or Charlie Todd.

I bet Chaz uses this same joke.

I am not Nicholas Cage from the movie Next.

 

[Hal Phillips]

I wish terrorists would just leave me and Charlie Todd alone.

 

[Chaz]

The police have attributed the blast to an improvised explosive device, and Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said the device had been placed in an ammunition box like the kind that can be bought at a military supply store. Mr. Kelly spoke with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg at a news conference at 9:30 a.m.

An improvised explosive device? Please tell me that none of you on the IRC that did this. When you all are on the back line, you need to be very careful if you are going to make the sound of a bomb exploding. You just never know if the situation will get out of control.

EDIT: I see that Corey Brown can read my mind so that he can use the same joke as me. Scary.

This is the news item I woke up to. From the initial reports I thought there were casualties.

Authorities are searching for a man on a bicycle as a possible suspect in the Thursday bombing at a military recruiting station in Times Square, investigators said.

It looks like they have narrowed it down to a male bicyclist. Which I am sure is pretty rare in Manhattan. They will find him in no time!

Wait a minute. I think I have seen this man before. Hmmm....

P.S. No one is beating me to this joke, dammit.

They should check with Bomby McBombington. He lives two blocks down from me and he knows everything about bombs.

They should check with Bomby McBombington. He lives to blocks down from me and he knows everything about bombs.

Talk about asshole parents. In this post 9-11 world, he's gotta be getting interrogated two or three times a week.
:exp:

 

[mikelibrarian]

He's named after his grandfather.

 

[Fisher]

I crossed Times Square on 42nd this morning (at the other end of the recruiting center) and had no idea that anything had happened.

This poor bike kid is the worst terrorist ever.

 

[timmybono]

does anyone else smell an improv everywhere mission brewing?

 

[benorbeen]

I kinda wonder if the IRC pooled its resources, whether it could track down who did this.

I logged back in just to post that.

A flaming bag of poop on the doorstep would have worked much better....
