This piece is on Google, and the SoBend Tribune was the first I believe to break it which is the closest newspaper to the tiny town I grew up in, then TMV here perhaps might have been a close second, and someone wrote to say that yesterday Drudge ran it complete with pix a few days after. The SBT did a little follow up with the guy who was carried on the grill (you know everytime I think about it, I TOO wonder, it is SO completely incredible, but in that part of the world... so for now, till we hear differently...) and he said the worst part was that 'it made me spill my drink.' dr.e Mike P., I think we’re all with Jane… This piece is on Google, and the SoBend Tribune was the first I believe to break it which is the closest newspaper to the tiny town I grew up in, then TMV here perhaps might have been a close second, and someone wrote to say that yesterday Drudge ran it complete with pix a few days after.

I mean, it's not on Google News so...' Paw Paw? No way. "'It was quite a ride,' police quoted him as saying." No fricken' way. I'm with Jane. If this is true, we're getting close! I keep saying to myself ‘no, this has got to be a hoax. I mean, it’s not on Google News so…’

Paw Paw? No way.

“‘It was quite a ride,’ police quoted him as saying.” No fricken’ way.

"Im a wheeler" See? You get the smart guy award today. Rudi, You know, in my hometown newspaper, I come from what used to be the 'way backwoods' ... the stories like this (like for instance a plane landed in my hometown village of 600 people, and they put a monument up thinking it might attract tourists... ) I know they sort of stretch credulity, but if you knew the folks back there, or me for that matter...lol Dustin, it was good wasnt it? When I read it at first, I just felt happy that the guy made it safely. j@ne futzinfarb, your comment made me laugh right out loud. That's priceless. dr.e cfpete: You know, I tried that headline as 20 Wheeler, and after I posted it as 19, I thought maybe I should have said 20, cause surely some smart person will count both wheels on the wheel chair, instead of thinking of the poor guy himself as ‘the wheeler’ as vets in wheel chairs sometimes call themselves, over the phone to let pp know they need accomodation. “Im a wheeler” See?

Whenever I read one of these "no way" stories, I can't help thinking, my agnosticism notwithstanding, "uh-oh, we're getting close."
