I've always thought a grocery store would be a bad place to be during an earthquake. So many heavy objects to fall off a shelf and hit you on the head, so few places to take cover.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The problem with tornado country is that it's the boy who cried wolf land. We get so many tornado warnings that don't turn into tornadoes that it's hard to take them seriously.
I think that happens with hurricaines too. "This house has taken a hundred years of storms..." Sure, but now its a hundred year old house, dude.
I don't blame people, really. Evacuations can be nightmareish and most storms you just loose power or have a little flooding.

Our wings are not tired.
Never been in an earthquake. Don't think I would like the out of control thing. Hurricanes are fine because you get a bunch of warning, but they are distracting for a long period of time with the whole preparation stuff, the actual storm, then the cleanup time.
Good to hear that everyone is ok. Nice try with the jumping up and down, but you still have to work the rest of the day.

Well, yeah, and you have to find a place to evacuate to, food supplies etc for while you are there, and then once you've laid out all that money and time, it's just a ton of rain and some wind. There ain't no FEMA check for that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Glad all the LA-istas are ok.

I just stumbled across this clip from a hilarious show from England called Have I Got News for You, hosted by a rather profane Brian Blessed, one of my all-time favorite Brit actors ("Quintilius Virus, where are my eagles?!!!"), and co-hosted by Paul Merton. It looks like a Brit Daily Show, so I don't get many of the local news references, but I just love watching Blessed at his roaring best.

Got my hair cut. I think it's even shorter than when I got all the long hair cut off.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Paul Merton? He of the twiglets and the Party from the Brit Whose Line? Love him! Of course a profane Blessed is wonderful. And though I can't quote back at you, Kathy, I did get the ref.
ETA: Eeek, Dana! End of an era. How do you feel?

I'm gonna need pictures. It's like you and shrift are having a race towards Shortest Haircut after dallying with waist length for decades.
