Kudos to reporters and editors that publish people's crazy ass comments under their full names.
Clearly. This is SO the best part of that story.

How do you live in LA and be paranoid about loss of power?
I think a lot of people in LA are paranoid about everything.
As I said to mother today, "If we ever had a real blackout here? People are totally hitting the gun shops and barricading themselves in their houses."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
From the LA Times site:
52. The power went out and I had to stop working. I ate lunch. The power came back on and I didn't tell my boss. Then I wrote this.

We'd just make a run on the stores and buy up all the milk, toilet paper and bread. It's our response to everything.

You are a girl.
I know. And a girl just helped me. Turns out I actually knew what I was doing, but was just making it more difficult than it really was.

I've been so broken and jaded by the LAUSD, that when the power went down, I assume it was only school wide and continued teaching. Cause it could have been just my building. Who knows?
Power outtages have become unfaxeable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now THAT's what I'm talking about. Wait, is that your coworker Matt, Robin?
ION, I hate UPS. Hate. I have no idea how I'm going to get my textbook, and it's not my fault. I'm on hold now trying to modulate my tone so I don't flip the fuck out all over the next person who picks up the line.

What is even happening?
SEVEN flights and you’re bitching and saying it’s like 9/11? WTF? People walked down FIFTY or a HUNDRED flights, if they were lucky enough to survive. Stupid bint.
I don't know how many of the non-Bronzers among you will remember little bam bam. He's a Gotham Bronzer, but he (all too seldom) pops in, usually to the Firefly, and Minearverse threads. When he posted at our little ex-pat forum about 9/11, it was...I don't even know how to describe it, because anything I can say does him no justice.
Anyhow, I remember him posting about the fire fighters making it up to the (I think) 89th floor of the World Trade Center, and he broke me, then. And here's this little ass hat comparing walking down seven flights of stairs. It makes me consider wishing things no person should ever wish.
