Big news this morning, via CNN:

World rejoices rescue of 33 music fans, but daunting tasks await

Austin, Texas (CNN) -- After 69 days and a cost as high as $20 million, 33 music fans have finally been extracted from the bowels of a Salem live performance. To roaring applause, ILX President Tom Ew1ng placed a metal cap on top of the Fader Fort entrance early Thursday morning -- and marked the end of a rescue operation that captivated the globe.

But in a way, the story is just beginning -- both for the fans, who now must live with their new status as indie heroes and the spotlight that comes with it, and the Internet, whose attention turns to protecting listeners' safety.

"I hope this will never happen again," said music critic Whiney G. Weingarten, the last listener out of the Fader Fort, as underrated aerosmith albums i have loved embraced him.

"I am so proud of what you have done," BIG HOOS told the president. "Thank you to all the rescuers, to all of ILX, to everyone. I am so proud to be free."

"We had hope that someday we would be rescued," markers said.

Rescue worker Ned Raggett, the first human being to descend in a custom-made soundproof capsule to reach the fans, was the last of six rescuers to emerge. He waved and bowed before a SXSW camera before climbing into the capsule for the last time.

Colleagues and onlookers cheered as Raggett surfaced, with lex pretend quipping, "Did you leave everything in order in there? Are the beds made? You didn't turn off the light."

maybe she has alpha female status, and therefore has the option of claiming shotgun & demanding that "flow hands" girl move to the back (though, being a benevolent dictator, she allotted herself backseat status).

well notice she ends up in the backseat both times the dilemma arises -- i'm pretty sure that means she likes it in the butt

that reminds me of this time my friend worked for some sports mgmt co. and was told that "cocoa and iced tea are in the conference room" and went to help herself to a nice beverage and found Coco and Ice-T in the conference room

Lucky it wasn't Vanilla Ice.

because the classic thing to say when you hear that ice cream is being served is 'yeah, i'd like to suck on that!'

Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 19:16 (eleven years ago) link

Because that doesn't make any sense. You'd say, "Yeah, I'd like to suck on some of that!"

that's why its funny s1ock

horribly formed jokes are usually p cute tho

flopson, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 19:25 (eleven years ago) link

because ice cream is usually referred to as 'ice'

am0n, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link

I feel like it'd be impossible not to be able to tell contextually or from tone of voice whether to expect "Coco and Ice-T" or "cocoa and iced tea."

boxall, Tuesday, 2 October 2012 19:36 (eleven years ago) link

Not to mention that cocoa and iced tea would be a really strange thing to serve together. I mean who would serve just cocoa and iced tea and surely if there were other beverages there then you'd just say "refreshments" or something. Curious.

what I don't understand is why Coco and Ice-T would be hanging out in the conference room at some sports mgmt co.
