And it gets all spattery and messy and I have to clean a pan. No thank you.
That's why I (a) line a baking pan with foil and (b) put it in the oven, under the broiler to cook the bacon.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Um...i constantly get to lecture some of my male students on how saying "No homo!" whenever they hug or wrestle is really inappropriate and homophobic and DON'T DO THAT and they always counter, "It's not mean, it's just saying we're not gay!"

"They had to have known it was coming and just didn't do anything about it because of their overpopulation problem."
I wonder what she thinks they could have done.

Aims, my head is hurting from all the sense that is not making.
The local news just had a piece on about a very pretty church near my home town that is being shut down as a parish and community efforts to save it. They interview this one woman who has a very screechy, giddy pitch to her voice, which makes her seem totally crazy. She also has the last name of this absolutely nutty guy I knew in high school. Sure thing, next shot is of him, saying how he was a parishioner of the church and how his grandparents are buried in it's cemetery. I'm 85% that he never lived in that community, but lying about something like that to feel "involved" is totally the kind of thing he used to do.

Whoa. This kid's bar mitzvah video (He's Zack! The peak of fabulosity!) has gotten 20,000 new views in the past half hour or so. (I feel bad for this kid. The mocking and bullying is going to start really soon, in all likelihood.) [link]

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"They had to have known it was coming and just didn't do anything about it because of their overpopulation problem."
...How did they know it was coming? Does she think rescue workers found a card in Christchurch saying "You're next, Japan!"?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Somehow, it's the "Like 9/11" that gets me even more. The part of my brain that just REFUSES TO BELIEVE THAT THAT LEVEL OF STUPID WALKS THE EARTH is scrambling around for what, pray tell, 9/11 had to do with population density and natural disasters, hmm??

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I wonder what she thinks they could have done.
Duh. If you know the earthquake is happening, you can take all the population that is so large and play a bit of see saw on the fault line. You know? Like Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice with the dog on the bridge. A big game of teeter-totter.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Well, in a sense, they did know it was coming, and they planned for it fantastically. They have checklists and drills and emergency management plans all over the place. Unlike here, where I still don't have an earthquake bag, or even earthquake insurance for my house.
