    Saw on Fox News that a large part of Congress street down town Austin is closed off do to investigating 60 birds that died last night. Anybody heard whats up yet. Gas leak, poison gas, terrorism, or somebody couldn't handle the Mexican food. Just makin sure all our Austin Hambers were okay.

    I'm sitting a block away from Congress right now on 7th street... Folks rolling around in Hazmat suits, but I sit here and type away... All seems cool to me.

    I believe it's the opposite. When there is a threat, then "THEY" say no threat. When there is not a threat then "THEY" say threat.

    I wonder what happened.

    It must have been a weather baloon. Its always just a weather baloon. What does Alex Jones have to say about it, I wonder.

    Is this the end?

    A similiar thing happen in south florida a few years back. pigeons dropping from the sky. the ground was covered with them in this publix parking lot in hollywood. the HVAC man saw some signs of rats while on the roof and put some decon out. scared the crap out of everybody.
     
  13. No Threat!!!!!! Thats why they are wearing the HAZMAT suits, NO threat to them, they just put on their hood. Someone needs to go extract Ryan so nothing happens to him. Call the A-Team!!!!
     
  14. BB guns,,,,4th graders...hmmmm. That could account for it OK. But it could be just the smell coming forn the t.u. campus. Rotten orange smells pretty bad....LMAO

    Happened in KC a few years ago too - squirrels, pidgeons, crows, etc. Turned out to be some sort of pesticide.

    I heard there were reports of a black coupe the night before smoking the hydes and chunks of rubber were taking out anything flying or sitting within a 200 yard range.

  19. Also from the Statesmen:

    Two police officers at the scene of the bird deaths reported feeling ill, said Christian Calisen, assistant director of Austin/Travis County Emergency Medical Services, but they turned out to be fine. Officials also worried that a homeless man who had been asleep in an alley adjacent to the Driskill Hotel might have been affected by whatever had killed the birds, Calisen said, but he also was unaffected by the incident.

    Stinky?

    Maybe the birds ate the rancid food particles off him when he passed out/fell asleep.

    I'm sure that Ryan has some sort of chain of command in place. I think that if something happens Alexander Haig would be "in control here".

    Just another government conspiracy to scare people. Same as flu or anything else they can put in the air to cause panic.

    Sorry.

    Let's just say that the Pizza last night didn't agree.

    now I gotta re-paint a customers car and shave off this Day-glo afro.

    The crazy thing about the New York stuff is that it's the second time they've had the gas smell and a few years ago it smelled like Maple syrup for a few hours and they still don't know what caused any of it. Maybe the gas smell was from Rosie blowin a gasket cause she can't think of anything else to say back to the Donald. HaHa
     
  27. we wouldn't need to be paranoid if "they" werent out to "get" us! Gotta go now! Before I'm exposed as a gearhead!:D
     
  28. most likely the same type of situation there in Texas.

    I think this is a plot by all the rice burners and gold chainers to assinate our fearless leader.
