Here comes the "Big One"

[Scrapheap]

 I felt a small earthquake about 10:30 this morning. Since big quakes are usually preceded by a few smaller ones, it got me wondering.... the last big quake L.A. had was the northridge quake of '94.... are we overdue?? How should I prepare for the end of the world??

P.S. for those of you who thought I was going to post a pic of my sausage..... maybe next time.....

Nah. The title made it clear
'twas something else.

Are the big earthquakes in LA predicted to be usually less than 13 years apart? I remember a bit about that one in '94.

I have only felt an earthquake once, it was tiny. I asked other people about it but no one knew about it or felt it. Then I saw on the news that night that there had been one.

i grew up here and i remeber as a kid we used to havew at least a noticable one every few years.

northridge was in 1987 but bigbear was in 1994, i believe.

If I had the cash, I'd buy property in the 909 for future oceanside development.

PS, I don't think your shlong is as big as you say it is.

No, the Northridge Earthquake was in 1994. That's how my sister and her husband met. They both lived in Burbank at the time and he helped her move some stuff out of her apartment, that had been damaged in the quake.


NOTE: As I typed this, I felt ANOTHER quake...... I think a big one is about to hit us.

we had a huge one when i was a senior in HS.  might have been in january of 1988.  also, the big bear earthquake happened after the northridge.


if it is every six to ten years we are due.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.

Mom is going to fix it all soon,
Mom is coming round to put it back
the way it oughtta be...

Learn to swim.

Fuck L Ron Hubbard and
Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

Fuck retro anything.
Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memory.

Learn to swim.

Fuck smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

My favorite earthquake was the Big Bear Earthquake of '96. I was stationed in 29 Palms at the time. It was about 4 in the morning and I was fast asleep. I was having a dream about riding along on my friend's '72 Dodge Challenger when the earthquake hit. Since I was still asleep my brain incorporated the shaking into the dream. It felt as all the sudden, the front end my friend's car started to shake real hard. I said "Dude did you just break a tie rod or something?" then I woke up and realized what was going on.

After it was all over I had a good laugh about it. 

[McGiver]

then it has been 11 years since we had a decent tremor.  we are due.
