You may all begin hating.... now.
Okay if some of us get a head start? In fact, I think we might form a club and meet in Troy this weekend ...
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
NC isn't much better
Nope. Really not. And the thing is, a few people are truly complete idiots about this stuff -- but most of them are normal, and get stuck anyway dealing with the minority of idiots plus the gummint's utter failure to buy so much as a bag of rock salt.
(Okay, the fact that it took the boy 4 hours to get home from work? Maybe just a leetle stressful, I'll admit. Really, I'm not usually such a bore about the weather.)

Since most students were living on campus, class was only unofficially cancelled when the prof failed to show. The ones in my department lived in walking distance. Hurricane Frances managed to cancel classes, what with no power and all. But that's the only official one I recall.

I'm watching Point Pleasant now. There are just so many ways that this is totally not Jersey.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The reviews calling Point Pleasant basically portentous and heavy-handed? So far - they are right. It's only half an hour old. Meh.
Plus, a spectacularly uncharismatic cast, despite the generic pretty.

I would quit complaining if they would cancel class tomorrow.
I would cancel work if they would cancel class tomorrow. (Because, yes!! I have that power!!!)
(But not if they don't cancel class.)
(And they never do.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No kidding.

That explains it.

I think this is the real problem. it only takes one moron going 5 mph to tie up traffic for miles. But the kids stuck at school thing made me laugh (although I'd be mad if those were my kids.) All the schools here closed at least 7 hours ago (I think). What have they been doing since then?

Excellent, JSw. I'll send along a couple of LA representatives for you to hate in person.
Also? THHHPPPPBBBBTT!
