Betsy and her husband Kris August 28, 2006

Oh there is a new sound in town
Betsy is grumping about having to breath
The light glaring off your head is burning my retinas and making me sleepy
The evolution in razors
You would have been a wooly monster
The terminal point of beard growing
I don't know my terminal length
The fifth blade removes the top layer of skin
The worst mother dig of all time from Betsy
Lips doth did part
Today has been a crazy day
I told the man it was a weird day
Kris missed saving a family of 4 that drove into a lake somehow
It is a fake lake to supply a subdivision waterfall
Kris sort of saw it happen
With CopmUSA closing I was preoccupied
I hear the sounds from the accident and agray flash through the neighbors houses
I was looking the wrong way when we drove by, didn't think of the lake
Well, I didn't hear them screaming . . . they were drowning
As they are gasping their lasts breaths pressed against the window
Betsy says I'm cold
Kris did save the family
When homeless get a Costco card to eat samples to sustain
Betys goes off and buys $30 in steaks
Usually it is mad cow in a tube
So Barb adds the seasoning, turns on grill, to clean it turns it on high and then has a martini
Grill is now set to high
20 minutes goes by and she heads out to put steaks
Opens the door and uses panic voice
"You have to tell Kris to come right away . . . well, theres a fire. Thank you," then closes the door
Betsy rouses me from the basement with the work "Fire"
Stay in the basement because it's safe even though there is a fire
The Goodwill grill is now in full flame burning off all the grease from the trap
The charred chunky collector flaming and the top are ball of flames and black smoke
Kris asks for the baking soda
I asked for fire extinguisher right now . . . Betsy threw it out
Betsy says it didn't look good and didn't match
Any fire extinguisher is better than none
Betsy hands me the Morton Salt instead of the Trader Joe's sea salt grinder
Saved by neighbor Jack and his fire extinguisher
As soon as hose melts to tank I am going to die in an explosion
With 911 on call waiting my mother-in-law clicks over to Vicky
He saved our house . . . he saved Croncast
Betsy finally finds our extinguisher in the garage
Finally doused it in water to cool it down to turn off the gas
The grill cleaned up ok but I don't think we'll ever use it again
Then Kris was swarmed by bees
It will go straight to my brain
Betsy gets in more about her steaks
If I had saved other family I still would be filling out reports and my family would have died
Message to you: Go out and buy some fire extinguishers to keep at home.

1	Well I am sorry that your grill basically melted and that Betsy lost those $30 steaks, but thanks for reminding me that I need to get a fire exstinguisher. I just bought a new house and had put one on my mental list of things to get. Well that list got lost. So thanks for the reminder. Russell

2	Hey Kris I was wondering if the Goodwill ban was still in effect? We have not had any Goodwill updates lately. Maybe they have another grill.

3	Starting a fire, who do you think you are Rick?

4	Thank you for your condolences, Russell. On the two other points, glad I coud save your life ;-) and the Goodwill ban has been lifted, well broken. Be prepared for many new stories and a separate blog by Betsy in the next few days. OK, Henry, you got me there. But I am not sure if this is a Feedburner reference or one to the fact that I was able to not set MY house on fire.

5	Suspect BBQ from Goodwill = $100. Lite Mad Cow Steaks = $30. Kris trying to put out a raging inferno with a salt grinder�.priceless.

6	That is a good one Lachie. I stood laughing at my phone where I read the email with the comment and Betsy said, "What?" I tell her what and she says, "Don't even play like you didn't try to put out that fire with a salt grinder."

7	You two are amazing. One of the MANY allures of listening to your shows is to see how close you can come to the Darwin Award without actually winning it. Believe me; you will get another chance soon via the USPS :-). On a more serious tack, I am wracking my brain for someone to whom I might recommend your show without becoming a recipient of the coveted DA myself.

8	Ask Rick to tell you the story about his interaction with the Naperville FD.

9	Congrats ons your house Russell. Kris, Betsy... I was laughing so hard during the fire story I may have peed myself a little bit. I hope you're proud.

10	If Kris were the neighbor... Elliot: Dad, there's a huge fire next door! Kris: Well... you don't hear anyone screaming do you? I'm sure everything's fine. Let's go to CompUSA.

11	Here I was convinced that this was some crazy Betsy plan to get Carla back together with Billy Blaze....

12	Bill, you made me cry. I had tears . . . from laughing so hard. There is no doubt that is how I would be portrayed in a book or movie about the careless neighbor that let your house burn down.
