Bend, Oregon is fast becoming a hot bed for weird news.
Last week we had Thomas Beatie, who declared himself as the “first man” to have a baby, finally having “his” baby.
Today brings news of a guy who is attempting to fly from Bend to Idaho.
And how is Kent Couch doing it?
By lawn chair and party balloons. And, oh yeah, he’s using 15-gallon barrels of Kool-Aid for ballast.
According to Internet reports this is his third attempt in as many years.
Didn’t he learn anything from the guy who tried to float from Japan to Portland,Ore.?
They still haven’t found him.

Bad. Ass. Shit.
Seriously? You’re WW’s queer reporter and you can’t even earnestly use the right pronouns for the one transperson in the news?
O I have slipped the surly bonds of earth/And floated in a craft that’s truly weird;/ Skyward I’ve climbed, dumbfucken idiot from birth/ Without the common sense to be afeared.
And while with silent lifting mind I rose/And smoked a doobie shaped like a cigar/I had a fairly good view, I suppose/ And saw an ant that looked just like a car.
Seriously, Byron, putting scare quotes around someone’s identity is an ass move by any standard.
