*sighs*

 

No rain, no winds, everything is fine, wonder why that is o.0. Besides that all the torment so far has been in southern citys of mines and key west which is still in the hole .

 

Parts of cuba have been hit to, don't know the dmg though

Although I agree with you, you should never take anything people say here seriously. Not because they are attempting to be funny, but because most of them are stupid.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Yeah I thought someone might take it like that, but the thing is I'm not getting rightously indignant, I'm telegraphing the fact that that kind of intellectual cowardice is self-defeating and is nobody's problem but thier own. I just think I owe a cirtain degree of ernest to this board.

Well said. Still, despite my comments I don't really find the situation that hilarious. Practically we don't have any kind of natural oddities over here, so I'm subconsciously wishing that something would happen.

What does that mean?

I mean that I wish that something would happen over here. Whether it would be a flood, a hurricane, an explosion, gay pride... just something.

I'm still waiting for him to blame Sim City for hurricanes and any other forces of nature.

In Sim City you could invoke different natural disasters to destroy your city. It was awesome.

[Agozer]

I just had to.

[Wizard]

Sim City FTW.

[Gryph]

Holy crap! It's already a category 5! They were expecting it to be a category 4 by the time it hit Texas.

 

That really sucks.

 

And LOL at the Sim City pic.
