Duck and cover!

Omg I didn't know you had earth quakes there! Go put on the local cable access channel see if they are running anything on there!

ummm i dont think i have that

Mach said:

No emergency broadcast channel?

Maybe it was some kind of exlosion somewhere close, not an earth quake.

Mach said:

Go boil some water!!

Sweeny79 said:

perhaps... but i live way way out in the middle of no where

guess time will tell



it was REALLY really freaky though

Mach said:

Well I'm glad you are all ok.

Damn, Mach - glad everything is OK. I never experienced an earthquake. It must be scary as hell!

I've been wondering something. Seriously...

Now, I read loads of historical fiction, and I've recently been captivated by the spinnings of tales by one Gary Jennings, especially his several Aztec books.

Anyhow, in the first one, the main character called Mixtli experiences some amount of earthquakes, and insists that each one makes his "tipili" hard. That is to say, his penis. I wonder if this is an actual phenomenon? He goes on to have sweet Aztec love with a female called Zanya he's with, who's "tepuli" is rather moistened by the incident.

We had a few aftershocks here in Kentucky a couple of years ago, but they came at 4 AM and I slept through them. The New Madrid fault runs through a portion of KY rather near me.

I think you need to stop buying your historical fiction in a brown paper bag.

Wimp! I used to live in New Zealand - 'nuff said!

2the9s said:

It's not often I actually laugh about something someone types, but damn. That caused me to giggle loudly.

But seriously, is it not a valid question? Did Gary Jennings make it all up?

Hello, Californians?!

glad nobody was hurt

Trust the kids to see it as fun

Mach-

That was an earthquake. I stay in north Georgia and I even felt it.

I wasn't sure until this morning.

I actually thought it was a plane crash myself.

Peace out my Southeast Sista.
