OT: Gender Reveal Explosion Kills Local Woman

[ISUTex]

Technically, aren't all fist pumps "quiet" fist pumps? Or did you first remove your tinklebell bracelet and then perform the fist pump?

Not technically. Usually there is a "Yes" that goes along with the fist pump. What is a "Tinklebell" bracelet anyway?

For various reasons, we elected to do some genetic testing during pregnancy, so we knew what both kids were before they popped out. No party or anything, just a call to the parents.

Plus, my dad's an obstetrician, he knows what he's looking at on an ultrasound. There'd be no hiding it from him.

Oops. We did it again. Kids, don't do drugs.

A viewer told KCCI she heard a loud "boom" and it shook homes in her neighborhood even a mile away!

Yeah, but nobody here feels near as bad for the family as the person who screwed up and killed one of their own relatives in a tragic accident.

Looks like it was actually the mother to one of the parents of the unborn child. I can't imagine how they are feeling. Everyone makes jokes and it was a terrible terrible idea but I can't help but feel bad for them.

Now it makes sense. And for the bolded, I have no idea, lol. I was trying to figure out what would be making the noise during the fist pump. (I do have some bracelets I wear sometimes that can be a bit noisy, but I can't imagine a guy ever wearing those.)

All I could think of was some of kind of noisy cowbell-like contraption or something. Was just messing with you anyway, tbh.

I had an old bus driver that told me how to make the paper match rockets.

I didn't want to know on any of my three girls. First one, my wife actually went a full 24 hrs before telling me, after the ultrasound. Second one, we didn't know until she popped out. Third girl, I don't remember how but we knew before she was born. I saved the name Kyle James for my first male dog, which I'm not going to get either. But I wouldn't trade my girls for anything.

Maybe you can find something else, male, to name.

That's right...some guys DO name those, don't they?

And you say you don’t talk in innuendos KC. Good one.

Completely obvious to me.

Natural selection is a real thing.

Chris Farley actually presents pretty well when side by side with your avatar.

Chances they are connected?

Both Tavern Hoks for sure

Have to wonder what the shockwave from the explosion may have done to the unborn baby...

Hopefully knocked the cleft off that palate.

 

[SpokaneCY]

Yea, something went horribly wrong, they made a pipe bomb and blew it up.

Q: How much gun powder do you need to blow nearly weightless confetti in the air?

A: Duh - all of it.

Being overly glib, but if you just picture them as hawks then it's ok.

But truly a family tragedy for those involved.
