I'm normally not a fan of pranks but this was hilarious. 

I liked this. A lot.

I lmao at the part where they were just blasting 1 and 2 second shots of the music. I was waiting them to record her rant, then call her back and play it along with the music when she tries to speak.

Okay, full disclosure: I know that 99% of you won't be interested in this, and I totally get it. I'm not that out of touch ;-). But my kid played at a restaurant in front of a ton of people for the first time the other day. My son is checking out the YouTube views, and I'm trying to get a few more so that he can see it go up a little, Anyway, I figured I'd pop it up here. If you're bored and want to click, that would be great. If not, I get it.

OK sure, but do you get it?

[Zanshin]

I don't really. I figured if I say it a couple of times, people might start to believe it.

He's pretty damn good! 

[Zanshin]

He's got a TON to learn, but he's only been playing for about 10 months. I didn't care as much about the actual performance as I did about him having the stones to get up in front of a packed house and a bunch of musicians and not fall apart. Good character builder.

[ice grillin you]

next step is to get him to do it sober

[Munson]

Yeah farg that, I've gone up on stage to help out a friends band a few times and I sweat off about 10 pounds of water doing it. Kid looks comfortable up there.

How's he supposed to do Tom Petty covers while sober?

Sounds good, though. Try to keep him away from the harder drugs so he doesn't mess up his voice too early.

[Zanshin]

Glad you told me now.

[Zanshin]

And the kid is flat out retarded for Tom Petty. I let him stay up to watch the Super Bowl when he was three, and this is the result. He plays football, too...but mostly the Tom Petty thing.

Looks like they now believe the missing Malaysian airliner did indeed go off course and could be in the Indian Ocean now. They said it looks like it could have flown for four more hours.

I read something last night where the engine manufacturer, Rolls Royce, may have received real time data well after the last communication from the plane.
