Only the skydivers never showed. Why? Because they mistakenly dropped into Duke's Wallace Wade Stadium eight miles down the road. Roll tape: Seems the skydivers initially planned to call ...Shared by Kevin Donahue (3)Contribute comment -

T. Boone Pickens Has Secondary Motivation For Wind Farm Push: The Ogallala Aquifer [Alternative Energy] (2)

Jalopnik (203) permalink

Well, that may be the case, but a second, ...Shared by Kevin Donahue (3) Stevo (20)- Stevo said: brilliant.

This would make an excellent house-warming gift for those of you inclined to buy such a thing… or, if anyone at the Firefly Distillery is paying attention, I’d be happy to have any extra bottles you might have laying around that you don’t need.Shared by Kevin Donahue (3)Contribute comment -
