As in, stop with your motherfucking 5.8 earthquakes and shit right now. That shit carries north, and we don't want none of that.

At least the earthquake put out the fires caused by the mudslides and smog. Right? Right.

Someone find Bogey! He could be trapped in the rubble!

    I already posted about this in the PAX dinner thread. :P

    Luckily, I was already done putting on my make-up.

    Now that would have been embarassing.

    I suspect I am far too laid back about this particular natural disaster.

    "Hmm, what the? Oh.. ya, earthquake.." *resumes what he was doing as things shake*

    Yeah, you lose all your cred if you react to a quake. Better to just continue what you're doing and ignore everything falling and shaking.

    We felt that all the way in Palm Springs. I just noticed that the bed was rocking back and forth. My brother didn't feel anything though. According to my friend who works for Highway Patrol, the telephone lines are out in Los Angeles.

    They should do a car commercial where the driver is at a stoplight and looks down to get something out of the console, and you see outside that an earthquake hits and buildings are falling & all but the car never moves. The driver looks up and it's all "Subaru-stabilty you can rely on."
