Shhhhhh!
You are making me hungry! Too long gone from good food!
No. But I did see some old guy wandering around saying 'Let my people go'.
Looked kinda like Charleton Heston....
Oh my gosh! I forgot about those! I think it was Randy Quaid.
Where are my damned frogs ?!?!?!?!
Well, (putting on a DUmmie hat) this is obviously a Rovian plot to take the heat off Bush for blowing up the levees and to test the peoples response to the soon coming police state
Don't worry Bush did this because he's evil, pure evil. Did you know his grandfather was a Nazi and his father is a shape shifter, and they have human sacrifices in the Bohemian grove. It true. All of its true. I hear things you know. Sometimes I think Rove planted something in my brain to control my thoughts and make we vote for Rethugicans. Really he's capable, he's in cahoots with the fascist pawn Deibold.
Taking off Dummie hat now.
Maybe they could make a Texas sized velodrome out of it. :-)
The one in New Mexico is not that far from the WIPP, near where my Mom grew up (and a large contigent of her family still live).

Hmm, let me clean up that description a bit (img alt tags from the WIPP homepage):

Amen. It was cute about the first 22,000 times but after that it just got old. Hopefully this one will run it's course too like series and hugh.

For this California native whose family has been in a lot of quakes ... no, a 3.0 quake is not much at all. Around here, it would hardly be noticed. Upper 5s, and anything up to the mid 6s will be pretty noticeable, and 6.5 or higher will be CERTAINLY spooky. A 7.0 or higher ... that's when it starts to get dangerous. But a 3.0? Like a very heavy truck going by on the street.
Oh CRAP! I'm the firstborn male child in my household!
I'm sure she's filling out the paperwork now to request another $96 billion in aid as a result.
So am I...but I saved TONS of cash by switching to Geico.
That counts for something.
Funny I would not think that Al Qeda connected terrorits would be placing international phone calls to their cell leaders just to complain about their Mother In Laws! You brain must be huge to have figured that out!!!
Sad, but true.
