East Coast Boobquake. 5.9 proves East Coast females dress more conservatively than their West Coast conterparts.

What do you want from people who shit themselves when it snows? I was present at the eruption of Mt Pinatubo. We didn't see the sun for a week, day was night for most of it. There were hundreds of earthquakes in a day. Real earthquakes where you just lay in your rack holding on to the sides, and try not to fall out. When it was over, there was no electricity, and damned little potable water. Still, I think everyone should get a taste of the end of the world at least once.

Dear God...where the hell is FEMA?

Aw, come on, gimme a break, it was my first earthquake. You have to start somewhere.

The thought of iced tea being senselessly spilled...I'm verklemt.

Now wait just a damned minute. The last time the Pentagon shook, an airliner had flown into it. The last time New York City shook, the absolutely unfuckingthinkable had happened. I would have lead the damn parade out of the Pentagon, had I been there yesterday. I might have looked a bit like Wile E. Coyote, and made a door through five rings of bricks and mortar, if you get my imagery.

"Gedaliya sent me a photo of the devastation wreaked by the east coast earthquake. Honestly, reading the screaming headlines today confirmed my opinion that we're a nation of mindless pussies."

Change "we're a nation of" to "people in the northeast are".

That's a bit closer to the mark, I think.

It's that Paul Westcott's patio furniture?

I tried linking it earlier, but it didn't work. Go to Five Feet of Fury and look for her post entitled, "O.K., I admit it. I laughed." It's on the second page at the moment.
