LA Earthquake Thread


traveller felt it. I felt it. Who else felt it? It was one of those long, swaying rollers in my neighborhood.

Ho hum. Often my first thoughts are of elsewhere. Is the epicenter in NorCal? That would be very bad. Missouri? That would be much worse. I usually wish for the epicenter to be nearby. But hey, I've got two earthquake scars, one from a NorCal roller, and one from a harsh *snap* that happened during the Northridge quake.

Talked To My Dad, He's Fine (#106155)
by M Scott Eiland

Left a message for my grandmother in Manhattan Beach--she didn't pick up but the answering machine worked, so things can't be all *that* bad.

A 5.6 quake isn't usually too bad unless you're in the middle of it, but it definitely gets your attention.

...are making too big a deal about it. The internet is by in large saying across boards, roll over and die Cali fags...

Ahem.

I will note, to my everlasting credit, that my immediate reaction was to use the event to try to distract B&BR from his Barack Obama Obsession...hereinafter referred to as B&BR's BOO....

lol

edit: I just had to do the edit to "BOO," it was just too good to pass up.

You heard it here first!

Be Good, Traveller
