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.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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??
Well, skyscrapers are highly correlated with centres of population density, you see? No skyscrapers, no 9/11!
Natural disasters are like terrorist attacks, of course, because you have to know they're coming.

Aims, I am sure she knows that she will soon be bitch-slapped by someone.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm sure our prof thought she was kidding. He looked at her like, "WTF? Candid camera?"

She's studying to be a SCIENCE TEACHER.
I look forward to the kind of magical thinking fuckery she will be teaching Michigan's youth, like how Japan could have avoided the tsunami by having its entire population jump into the air at the precise moment of the earthquake.

I just slapped my forehead so hard I'm sure some of my brains landed in her head.
Wanna borrow my cluestick? It's got a nice heft...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita, trying popping popcorn in bacon grease instead of oil or butter
I air pop. I may reconsider that. My battle against grease is conflicted.

Popping popcorn in bacon grease! I am reading too tired and too fast and read it as pooping popcorn in bacon grease and I just thought, YUCK.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Will Puppycat do puppy playdates?
Sadly, I don't think so. She's not keen on dogs. And hisses at other cats who are not Kittenish. (She's a joy when I've had to board her, I am sure.)
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.
Ding, ding.
I am so over people being stupid.
