Looks like a recurring nightmare of mine.

Terrible.

The ass clown meteorologist on CNN said
"the good news is no reports of American causalities"

USA! USA! USA!

They are claiming that very few Norwegians are in danger here in Norway as well. I don't get this group think either.
"Ah Fuck, don't worry about it none of our people are there."
Poor Japan. I wonder what effects if any, this will have on the world economy. (Besides the Japanese Insurance providers going broke)

This morning at a restaurant, after they announced hundreds of confirmed dead, they also mentioned the fact that Japan is one of the heaviest oil consumers in the world.
One of the backbirths in the dining area cheered and opined that maybe this would finally bring gas prices down.


I kept my mouth shut. Some folks are pretty proud of their ignorance.

(1)  Japan sucks.

(2)  Mandatory Godzilla reference.

(3)  No quakes in my stomping grounds of BosWash (or now more like PhilaYorkShire), yaay!

(4)  Every time you see liberals show a picture of a silly Tea Party sign, assume it's spun out of context.  I bet the sign next to it said: Militant Obama Retards Against National Sovereignty.

(5)  Only about 5% of Japanese cars are sexy, and the same 5% rule applies to video games, anime, etc.  Their government is a massive supporter of all those industries.  They make a ton of crap, and every once in a while they get lucky.

(6)  Hard-boiled eggs cut in half with yolk removed make an OK low-carb replacement for sushi rice - marinate them, stuff them with a paste involving avocado + soy sauce + minced seafood, put a thin slice of raw fish or cheese on top, then wrap in nori same as sushi.  See, we can beat them at their own game.  USA!  USA!  USA!

That 5% applies to everything. 95% are ruined by being trendy.

You guys that donated $$ to Haiti are gonna donate to Japan for this disaster too, right?

I don't know.  My criteria for charity is based on propensity for voodoo practices, so maybe not.

GF is from the Philippines. She comes over this morning and didn't hear anything about it before she got here, so I tell her the news. She starts freaking out trying to get hold of some people in her country via Facebook. Gets hold of one of her cousins and the cousin tells my gf "Janice, my husband says there was an earthquake in the Philippines!!" Dumb fuck actually lives there and tells his wife who is in France for work that the quake actually hit in the Philippines. How could you not know if an earthquake happened right underneath you or not? Anyway, the gf gets all freaked out on the verge of tears because of some BS info the guy tells his wife, so I have to calm her down and make her understand that the guy obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

Fun day for me. Sucks for those people that got hit with that and had no warning.

Lets just hope a meltdown doesn't happen.

[Turd Ferguson]

Meltdown seems almost inevitable at this point from what I've been reading.

[The ghost of a ghost of a ghost]

That's kind of what I've been picking up too, but doom and gloom sells.

If there is a meltdown, hopefully it will be more like three mile island and not Chernobyl.

Terrible 'chain of events' nonetheless.
