News, but not the serious kind
What to do when you lock yourself out

Blog Guy, you seem to be in a foul mood today. Is anything wrong?
Don’t even get me started about my morning. It was the WORST!
When I got to my office I realized I had left my key at home, and I didn’t want to go all the way back to get it.
What did you do?
The usual stuff. First I kicked the door a few times, really hard, but it wouldn’t open.
So then naturally I piled up some old newspapers soaked in gasoline and started a fire to try to burn up the door, but still nothing.
Willikers! Then what?
Then I found a huge honking concrete block and hurled it repeatedly at the door until it finally caved in and I got inside. It was a nightmare!
Well at least it’s over now.
No it isn’t. Now it turns out I’m responsible for injuring several of my staffers who were on the other side, pushing on the door to keep me out.

Blog Guy, be careful! Gasoline is expensive. And the only kind of big concrete blocks that will open sticky doors, are the honking kind!
I would have rather gone back home… and to bed…. soooooo sleeeeppy!
Its such a sleepy day…. wish I could stay in bed and dream of….. ok, since this is a family blog, I had rather not go there….
Does it rhyme with flotilla, Shra?
It’s ok Shra, dreaming of shoes is permitted on a family oriented blog. Yes, even stilettos. :p
“Willikers”? Who was the reader, Robin?
“Holy stuck door Batman!! However will we catch the Joker now?”
“Never fear good chum, let me just get the bat-anti-stuck-door spray from my utility belt!”
“Ummm Batman.. that’s a crowbar.”
“Shut up my avian buddy lest you get the bat-boot up your little tights wearing ass.”
“Willikers!”
Oh guys, I just saw the most amazing Jimmy Choos ever…. think i am gonna start a small fund for it… will be able to afford one, in slightly over an year, if I save a pound a day…. Mr. Pilot… you dream of stilletos… I dream of wearable shoes… which are droooooooool- worthy…
Jibberish – heavens forbid if I dream of anything that ends with an -illa!
Spin, you dont want me to answer that here girl!
So as long as you’re upset about something, it’s ok to light stuff on fire. Got it.
Incidentally, I’m a little upset about the rain right now…anybody have something fun to start on fire?
If I may sum up the comments so far … tweet style!
Locked out, gas pains, sleepy dreams, Jimmy Choos, Robin’s blues, start a flame, in the rain.
sarabelle you said my favorite word..fire! And right now I have something I would love to start a fire on. Namely the building I am working in! :p
I tell ya if they don’t give me back my stapler that’s the last straw!
I’m upset about Global Warming…let’s start a nice big sooty fire to protest!
What is going on? So many loonie people in the world. Present company excluded, of course! I think it’s global warming, and setting all these fires from the Gulf of Mexico to Athens isn’t helping! Not one little bit!
JohnZNYC, no need to kiss bummy bum bum here. We are looney and we know it.
Here, take a seat and have a doughnut.
root bier anyone makes the doughnuts taste aaaaaa better and the flames seem warmer aaaaah!
looks like a chinese kung foo movie
If you’re going to commit arson using gasoline, then doing so whilst smoking seems particularly dumb to me.
Hah! Someone should have told the two guys in the last photo that you only get back to Kansas by clicking your heels together three times if you are wearing RED shoes.
Kung Fu fighting!!!
Fast as lightning!!!
Its just a little bit frightening!!
