They have been doing this heavy metal thing now for a little while. I recall seeing something on TV about them a year or so ago. The parents were out of money and taking the kids around to play. I guess his patented back scratcher never panned out.

These kids never had a chance with their parents.

 
He turned them into a heavy metal band. They are little rockers that scream and make noise. They look and sound like little girls.

 
Vikings balloon boy

As part of a Vikings halftime show on Dec. 14, 1969, 11-year-old Rick Snyder was launched in a hot air ballon. The hot air balloon wasn't properly tethered and Snyder disappeared into the air. NFL Films helps tell this incredible story.
 
My daughter was a few months old when this thread was started, and my MIL had just passed away. Balloon boy seems like just yesterday fwiw. My daughter will be Sixteen in Feb. Oof.

I broke my back and it's awful. L1 (worst), T3, T9. It's been exceedingly painful and I'm in the dark on how to deal. Life-changing.
