Wow! My first honest Precious in AGES!
Congrats! I think...
Does that mean you've had a lotta dishonest ones?
Hmmmm...I haven't spammed lately, come to think of it.
Maybe I was being rewarded for my restraint. :-D
I don't think I have any old hunting pics... I think they are with your stuff or at the beach house.
Mad Max is on AMC in a few minutes.
All the more reason you should be grateful for Homer!
He was harder to turn down ;~D
I'm sitting here laughing my head off because I typed "A NEW GOD" instead of "A NEW DOG" in the keywords!
I think it may be past my bedtime folks!
As if I didn't have enough problems in the crusade forum...
Did you hear the one about the dyslexic atheist?
LOL!
Grr...I was just startin' to type that!
Well, yah... and a meteor could fall and take out France. We could only hope.
Actually... a lot of this "East Coast Tsunami" stuff is all built around fears of a certain volcano on the Canary Islands, where there's this big slab-o-granite that is several miles wide and is supposed to slide into the ocean someday, causing a huge tsunami... Listened to a good discussion of this last week, and something this one geologist said really clicked into focus: tsunamis are all about energy. The energy released in a quake like the 9.0 in Sumatra is several orders of magnitude greater than any landslide in the canaries, no matter how many miles wide, could ever be. Even if this thing ever cut loose, it might create a local splash that could be bad news in the immediate area, but it would be a meaningless amount of energy compared to the sort of quake it takes to generate a tsunami. It would not generate an ocean-crossing tsunami like the news readers would have you believe. Tsunamis are somewhat more common in the Pacific, but on the west coast of the U.S. there really aren't the sort of lowlands that are vulnerable to big waves... out here waves have to be really, really big (like 100ft) before they do any real damage. OK... they could damage some places in southern California, but who really cares about that? Headline: "500 foot wave hits Los Angeles and does an estimated 5 Billion dollars in improvements". :-)
Except...I heard it as a dyslexic agnostic...
yeah, I've heard it both ways...
Not much temptation over there lately... I don't even know what "Eschatological Decline 1865-1925: The Rise of Premillennialism" ~is~.
It happened once. It could happen again.
Good night Bear!
