Shots fired (people killed) in the Heartland..
Mood:  don't ask
Now Playing: Flaggers siren call unheard

RYP what's this story? Led Zeppelin hasn't toured since 73 and talks of a reunion are largely speculation, rumour and innuendo (kinda like yellowcake from Nigeria and lost WMD's huh?)

 -  - - -

I think I might just start on a personally approved mission of sorts to promote Robbie Young P's "Black Flag Cafe"

(sounds kinda like a name for a new super fried cool brand of hot chile sauce doesn't it?)
far and wide as a great place for losers to hang out, get accepted and post and vent their frustrations about life.

While many people might stereotypically complain about an excess of excess holiday shoppers, long lineups and stores running out of the toy

"my little Johnny really really really wanted",.. we usually don't worry too much as we are going to a mall about being shot.

Nine dead in Nebraska shooting

While Flaggers view the story and event to cap each other with their wit and reserve placemats for themselves to use the event as an excuse to engage in faux imitation gallows humour (gallows humour involves larger amounts of people dying and is typically used when the situation is particularily grave or dire with humour as a healthy valve or release,) and crack wise, I guess we are supposed to presume some of them have "earned" that right.

And how? Is the right to  preserve a sanctity for death something that someone should have to  "earn"?

While the site may not worry about optics, it definitely looks like the posts are made in poor taste. What medals of honour or badges of courage handed out also serve as free passes to make popcorn light jokes about people dying? A passport stamp? The events are both tragic and recent, and the jokes fresh as footprints in a newly minted snow. Theres something about this that bodes ill.

The Flaggers may not like it, but they are inviting the world into their living rooms to watch the events as told by tv/internet news to witness their comments.

They should be promoting themselves as a place where depressed , sporadically employed and troublesome youths with split parents can come and gain acceptance and comraderie. 

On Weather and Tragedy

Guess they wont talk too much about Springsteens Grammy nod (Grammy subplots) (although hes hated at the Flag, he oughta write a song about this shooter in that Tom Joad I Don't Like Mondays kind of way!), an ABBA Museum in Sweden(good clean sporting fun for them) Plans unveiled for Abba 'museum' and singer Frank Sinatra making his way to being on a U.S>postage stamp. Frank Sinatra to feature on postage stamp

Maybe they could even tell us how the phrase Number One with a Bullet came into use on music trade magazine Billboard while they are it. In between flying jokes that is!
