Amazing and freaky rain-caused accident: [link]
There's this huge manhole cover in the middle of a highway. All of a sudden a huge geyser of water comes spewing out....
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Vortex, that is Julie Benz--she plays an American in jep and I think Stallone is in his 60's at least.
I just read the tagline for the film--"Heroes never die, they just reload." *Gag*. Stallone directed and co-wrote it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap!

I've seen that happen before! (er, as described. Can't youtube from here) Desert floods are like that. What's freaky is when it never even rains where you are and it happens! When there is a good gully washer at my parents', everyone in the neighborhood has to go collect their water meter covers from the base of the street. Everyone has had to redo their landscaping on the street using large rocks because anything smaller than grapefruits (or god forbid, grass) gets washed out. And they don't even live in a official drainage area.
Some of the new developments are going up in known arroyos. That's just insane. If I were choosing land or a new house out there, I'd hie myself to the county office to look up the floodplain maps first thing.

Our wings are not tired.
Whoa! Unreal that people continued driving along next to that thing.
What is this Rambo 27? I don't think I watched the last couple.

Some kind of storm sewer backup -- there's lightning on the video. I feel especially sorry for the driver who gets caught out in the second spurt.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I'm beginning to suspect that 2008 is going to be my year of the universe's petty revenge.
Oh shrift, I hope not!

Oh shrift, I hope not!
It's only been six days, so I'm not going to call it just yet, but I'm giving 2008 the stink eye.
