New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
*still laughing here*
Sheesh! I'm a mess.
I do, but I'm not really sure I want to follow that. I don't spend much time worrying about the end times. My philosophy is, if I ain't ready when He gets back, it's not gonna matter much how and when he does it.
Good night, Bear! Don't be a stranger.
Give our love to Rose as well.
Good Night All - Good Night Hobbit Hole
I guess I should go to bed, too. *sigh*
I figure if something like that does happen, the wave would get here way before I could ever even hope to get out of the state anyway.
I'd drive to Naples, try to get on a boat somehow and head west as quick as I could.
Probably would be the only time in my life I wouldn't worry about sharks. Even though, with my rotten luck, the wave would throw them right on me.
Good night, osage and LSA!
I just watched it again last weekend...
Did you watch it with the "mad max facts" thing enabled? it's sorta like watching pop-up video... they keep popping up little factoids about the production onto the screen. it's a riot.
There's lots of interesting factoids about Mad Max. For many years it was the largest-profit movie ever made. It was made for only $200K, and grossed a few hundred million at the box office. It was beaten by the "Blair Witch Project" which didn't gross as much, but only cost about five dollars to make. (OK... maybe a little more, but not much).
Also... most of the stunts were done by the actors, since they couldn't afford more than one stunt guy, and he was hospitalized by one of the early stunts...
I know! Me too. *sigh*
In a minute. ;-D
Yeah, I watched about the first half with that on. AMC does that kind of thing with their "Much More Movie" feature occasionally.
No... get to the EAST coast... get on a boat and head out to sea in the Atlantic. Out there the wave will pass harmlessly under the boat. It's once it gets close to shore in shallow water that it will get wierd...
:-)
But I don't wanna ride a big wave! /whine
Dude, didn't you see The Poseidon Adventure?
at sea... a tsunami is only about two feet tall and about ten miles wide. You don't even feel it.
It's only when they get close to shore that they get all wacky and tall and dangerous. :-)
Well then, that is a better idea than heading west. At least I know there won't be much traffic heading east. :-D
I'm heading to bed before I try to add more keywords.
Nighty night Hobbit Hole!
Now THAT was a wave.
Sea waves generated by storms are wayyyy more dangerous to ships than tsunamis.
My Icebreaker, the Polar Sea, got into some of that winter gulf of Alaska crap on a particular crossing that I remember. Picture a 400ft ship diving into an 80ft face on a breaking wave. I'm a boot-seaman standing lookout watch on the flying bridge, at about 80 feet above the waterline... when I see this big-assed-wall-o-water coming... and I shout down the voice-tube "Ohhh... shh###... hang on!!!"
And just about then a whole lotta GREEN water comes flowing over the top the bridge...
The funny thing was... they sent the bos'n of the watch climbing up the ladder to see if we were still onboard. I had a deathgrip on a post at one of the railings. No way was I gonna let go of that. :-)
Nite nite! :-)
'nite from here too...
Lots of times those are a man's last words... You're gonna have to think up something new to say now.
