  2. figures he was on a fucking cell phone. jesus!

  3. Oh jeeze! whatever! this guy has a great job. have you ever been to the top of the arch? granted, it's no view from the sears tower or anything but for a city of it's size it's really cool.

  4. Looks like big fun to me! Sign me up!

    On the TV coverage: Does Fox go out of their way to find pricks for their anchors? The bulb guy is very nice, trying to say, “I need to put the phone down, can I call you back?”… the response of the anchors is a snigger and “just put the phone down, Chuck”.
