Tee-flippin'-Hee...!

Amazing...just goes to show that you get daft people everywhere...!

Lollipops/ice cream.....hot weather....melting... ...!

Always reminds me of the time, at the beginning of the last century where a chap was actually filmed jumping off the top of the Empire State Building, flapping his arms....in the hope of flying... ...!

No-one, not even the camera-man suggested that it might be a "very bad idea"....LOL...LOL...LOL...!

...only in America...?....mmmmmm.... ....!

LOL...!

Why didn't they try that when it was, oh, I don't know COLD OUTSIDE?

About trying to fly by flapping: You would think that if that actually worked, someone would have figured it out before then.

I think I work with some of those idiots descendants. When people ask what I do for a living, I tell them "I work with the mentally challenged"

About time something silly happened in New York, it has been far to sensible lately

[Saitek]

Well that is rather weird. Some people.

Brilliant.  Erect a 25-foot frozen treat on an 80 degree day.

If I was there and saw people running from a wave of melted popsicle, I would've been laughing my ass off so hard I probably would've taken a nice melted popsicle bath.

LOL!

One question though, what the heck is snapple juice? is it some American thing we dont get in the UK?

Thanks MAtt

The Snapple is a small marsupial that roams the western plains states. Known for their tastey, fruit like juice, yielded by squeezing, they have long been a staple of the American diet. Hunted to near extinction in the 1880s they are now raised on farms all over the country. Hunting of wild snapple is prohibited, but poaching does occur.  :P

Sorry. Actually, Snapple is a company that sells many different flavors of bottled fruit juice. http://www.snapple.com/
