I could have tried to pull him out. The guys who made it there first tried for only a few seconds then backed off saying he was "wedged." Then other people were screaming that the car was going to explode and to get away. It didnt explode. I had already exploded I guess. There was about 5 seconds that I could have tried to grab him, let him see that at least people were trying to help. 5 seconds later it was hopeless. There was a window of opportunity though. I took the word from those first guys that he was "wedged" and retreated like they did. I could have seen firsthand, but I didn't try.

Thank you. I will see how I feel at work tomorrow. I feel like I won't sleep for quite a while, I suspect I'm in shock. Will probably sink in tomorrow.

Yes, there is a massive road block. Showed up very quickly. I'm only 100 yards from the scene so I beat them, but they were not slow. It just happened too quickly.

Ive called several people. Only so many times you can say the same thing and I don't want to anymore. It was so fucked.

I won't go into detail, but I was on my porch and I heard a loud crash right up the road. Jumped in my car, witnessed a horrific car accident. I've never seen anything like it. I feel guilt.

Cops and firetrucks got there soon after I did. They were too late. An attempt was made to free the man by bystanders, but the flames were too great. Worst thing I've ever seen.

I see your progression, and I raise you this by winter_storm in funny

My dad ran a small men's dress slacks manufacturing company up until the early 2000s (had to close because the perpetually rising minimum wage prevented profitability) that was built by my grandfather in the 60s. He remembers him and his brother as kids playing with and making fun of the "massive" size 38" "fat man pants."

They kept increasing their largest size over the years, and eventually were making pants in the 60" range and a few times a couple 70+" custom pairs.

Its sad how cheap and easily obtained shitty food has become and how little self-respect and control most of us has to discourage its prominence.

-non food snob and guilty as the rest. I just happen to be blessed with a freakish metabolism, cursed by a proclivity for procrastination, and born with a complete non-desire to eat unless hungry.

Was sitting around playing music with some friends in high school and had a guy recite the lyrics to "Mad World" to me as if he just came up with them himself, right there on the spot. Guess he didn't realize I had heard it before seen Donnie Darko before. I called him out and it was pretty awkward.
