I wish I had the video to this to post it, but this is a transcipt from ABC World News Tonight, August 30, 2005, approximately 10 minutes into the broadcast.

Reporter is David Kerley in Biloxi, Mississippi:

Kerley: "Across the street, seven other bodies were found today."

Louise Ross: "My house is out in that pile back there."

Kerley: "Those who heeded the warning and evacuated did return today. Louise Ross found clothes in her drier, but little else."

Louise Ross: "Doesn't matter the whole house is gone. Finding that little crystal basketball that belonged to my grandson meant so much, find my pet rock meant so much, cause you can not ever replace that kind of stuff."

Pet rock?

Yeah big 80s craze, some people still have ones that never died, I've got one in my cupboard but it hasn't moved in ages, in fact its starting to smell, maybe I should have fed it.

I was looking for 'drunk chick' and came across this page with pics from 'Lebowski Fest West' in Vegas. Sweet! Dude fans geekin' like Trekkies, and with a drunk chick! Thanks, OP!
