>>>And they’re part of the mystery, that began on a summer day 36 years ago.
John never came home
On July 1, 1969 in Ashley, Indiana, 3-year-old Gary, his mother, and little sister were waiting for a telephone call and a voice on the other end saying “I’m here at the airport, come pick me up.”
It was the day John was supposed to come home from Vietnam.
I guess the point could be that he DID come home but only 30 odd years later. They don't know any more than we know though, they just can't get enough of yanking our chains.
After reading the dateline thingy that the quote is from, I've concluded that they are either:
1) using a thematically related media event as bate for fresh audience members.
or
2) using a thematically related media event to allude to *the faked death of Andy Kaufman.
*could be theories, investigated truths, or inventions.
I can't see how one could conclude anything actual about Andy Kaufman's faked death by reading this quote, but I do enjoy the articals about identity (ie piano man, Steve Rocco etc...)
Your chain can only yank you if it's attached. Mine is attached to my unit, so be warned, if you fool me, I will enjoy it.
Hm, why couldn't it just be an illustration of an instance in which some dude turned up alive some 25, 30 years or more after presumed dead? Just to show such a thing is not unheard of?
That's how I take it... sometimes there's yanking, and sometimes there's just exampling.
Roy, are you a Unitarian?
If I think, therefore I am, is true... what happens if I think twice?
Hey Raaawb when I made dinner last night, I used TWO CANS OF CHICKEN BROTH! You could do it too!!
stir up some olive oil, ****ake mushrooms, and carrot slices in a big soup pot over med heat
after a while, add turmeric, parsely, and thyme
add greens (I used turnip greens)
add TWO CANS CHICKEN BROTH!!
let simmer for a bit
add 1 package of those pre-cooked Japanese tofu noodles (just run hot water over them first to rinse)
let simmer for a bit
--Take one can of stew, probably from the 99 Cent Store (be sure to scoop off the orange gunk that 99 Cent Store Stew accumulates that Dinty Moore Stew doesn't), put into microwave container or tupperware you don't really care about.
--Open small can of button mushrooms (2 for 99 cents), add those in too, because those stewmaking heathens always leave them out.
----Don't buy any potatoes, carrots, meat or gravy, and don't peel, cut, chop or braise anything... that's all already been done for you.
--Toss it in the miker for about three minutes. Be sure to cover it with something or it will spatter all over the place, and you know you'll never get back in there later with any sort of sponge, spatula or other cleaning utensil.
--Take it out and stir it (optional; just a good idea to distribute the hot spots) and put it back in for another two minutes. Remember to put the top back on!
Find a box or something so you can set it in your lap without burning yourself.
--Look briefly at two cans of chicken broth, shake your head, and continue toward the microwave and remove the dish. Don't bother getting an oven mitt; just carefully grab it by the lip and gingerly scoot it onto the box you found, complaining only once or twice how it burned your fingers.
--Grab a coke from the fridge, and a bag of Fritos or anything that looks crunchy, and carefully orchestrate getting it all into the living room. Do not make two trips!
--Enjoy a DVD or whatever happens to be on while you eat it on the sofa.
--Place the dish in the sink until you need to rinse it out to eat with again later.
