Fire Down Under
Wow, the death toll from Australia's wild fires is up to 84.
I could not figure out how so many people could get caught in the fire, but I read in the NY Times this morning that some people died "trying to escape the fires in their cars". Yikes!

Sad, but it would have only been worse, had they been attempting to flee the fires on spike-heeled kinky boots. Speaking of which, a person would be a fool not to read (and link to) brianbusby.blogspot to read about all the finest vintage Canadian leather porno, and other stuff like, I dunno, Stephen Leacock. The best part? It pretends to be all literary and stuff, so you can read it at work. Also, the charges to your credit card appear as "car service."
From Deadline Hollywood, re: He's Just Not that Into You:
"It wasn't the runaway female box office phenom of Sex And The City, but many big city theaters reported IJNTIY sellouts by early afternoon for Friday night -- an indicator of "girls night out -- let's go to see this movie" -- because of the savvy marketing of Sue Kroll and her team."
And I won't be back for awhile until you can learn to take some things seriously - I'm happy to have a joke as much as the next person, but this is NOT a joking matter!
I have to apologize for misdirecting this thread of comments. I haven't been following the news about the Australian brush fires. The left turn here is entirely my fault, and was never intended as a comment on the deaths of the people.
SusieQ - I think everyone commenting on this thread was just following the direction it turned to, not in anyway intended as connected to the Australian fires. Sorry for insensitivity.
I knew this was going to happen. As soon as I saw that first comment, I thought hmmm.
When I saw that this morning, we were up to 11 comments, I knew it had to have taken a bad turn.
I hope susieq will be back, and the next time fires are threatening the homes of people in Southern California (and they will)(and you know who you are out there!) she can insensitively talk about other, totally unrelated things. And that will even the score, right?
It was killing me to watch it all on the news last night. I mean they split the screen in 2 to show the commentator's picture and a map of Ottawa behind him (other screen had the fires). What news director thought this would be a good idea? I mean put up a bloody map of australia! I want to see exactly where this is! stupid f(#*s.
Well I missed a bunch of stuff. I'm sure the thread wasn't trying to be insensitive.
Since I live in the American version of Fire Storm central I did follow this story pretty closely. Devasting stuff and it's gonna keep on happening sadly because we just don't get the rain levels we used to.

Stephen "Leacock"? Is that some kind of code?
Yes. It's Canadian for "Moby Dick".

Congrats, Team Su Kroll!
First Mickey Rourke plays me in Year of the Dragon, now this.
Pretty soon everyone who comes to this blog to comment will be famous for 15 words.
ask the saturday's globe: it's ALL about the savvy marketing
Sorry, but this is no joking matter. So far, 135 people have died. Its not funny!
I find the comments left on this thread highly offensive.
