Another one to add to the list of Things I Didn't Mean To Somehow Cause When I Started dead_earth -- Strongest typhoon in decade strikes Tokyo

Anybody have any requests for the next weird meteorological or geological event? I think I can pull off a rain of toads, but it might take a hell of a lot of concentrating, and possibly something hallucenogenic.

EDIT: The hometown newspaper of George W. Bush, which endorsed Kerry this election year, has received threats of physical brutality against the people working there from people angry with the endorsement. You know, this really pisses me off, because it's just another display of the callous, self-righteous behavior of a select few who are just making this election year worse by acting like absolute assholes, in a "Stop being on my side, asshat!" kind of way. And the jerks who issue death threats over a newpaper's political endorsement are just as bad as the morons who tore up that one little girl's Bush/Cheney sign. Being an asshole is not a condition that only affects the Republicans or the Democrats, or anybody else for that matter.

Jesus, how hard is it to just not agree with someone on political views without going to extremes like this? Sheesh.

Hm. Small twister hits pond, dumps contents on visiting campaigning Shrubbery?

Some giant thunderstorms over Wales would be nice!

[dawning-star.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind a freak blizzard.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Why would you want it to snow sideshow freaks? ;P

[dawning-star.livejournal.com]

It's more entertaining that way! Most blizzards just have snow, ice, and occasional house fires. A snowstorm of sideshow freaks would guarantee either my amusement or extremely painful death. And at the moment, both options are appealing. ;)

Don't forget, the roofs that collapse because the builders couldn't be arsed to make them snow-proof

Did you cause the lack of flu vaccine? 'Cause that's kind of creeping me out.

Toads ARE hallucinogenic. Some of 'em, anyway.

I don't think I did, but I'm not about to start reading The Stand anytime soon, either. It might make it worse. (Notice I say this as I plan to watch Miracle Mile later. *rolls eyes*)

Hey! I asked you politely to stop with the plagues. And don't try to pretend that you didn't start it; we all know that you have a Doomsday Device (TM) stashed away next to your collection of end-of-the-world pornDVDs.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

But I thought I didn't have anything to do with the plague. Mt. St. Helens, yes. The earthquake in California, yes. North Korea having nuclear weapon envy, possibly. But plague?

If I were going to do a plague, I'd go Captain Trips or the Pink Death or nothing at all.

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

But Captain Trips was an engineered superflu, wasn't it? 99% infectious and so mutable that the immune system couldn't get a hold of it.

So while the current cold&flu season isn't plague-level YET, it only takes a little imagination (and I know you've got plenty to spare) to see it becoming more.

But I'll take your word for it. Mistress of Mayhem, Tectonic Tormentor, Volanic Vixen and Weather Witch may all be title of yours, but we won't give you the "End of the World Quinfecta" crown yet.

Well, if you can shut off gravity in Seattle for a bit I'll give you a cookie...

[onefishjyuufish.livejournal.com]

Wait wait wait, some warning would be nice at least - I'd like to know when I should tie things down, because the turtle tank suddenly floating across the room would be highly obnoxious.

But otherwise, yes, please turn it off. I've always wanted some freefall in my apartment.

On the guy that ripped up the girl's sign: It might have been the girl's brother. There's this family that's been doing this for a while. They'll set up the girl with the Dad and a sign, and one of the older brothers will come up and rip the sign, cueing the kid to cry.

That, my friend, is Asstastic.

PS: can you make a massive water-y thing hit Houston? If you do, I'll make you some cookies. Or cajun food. your choice.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

If that's true, that might even go beyond Asstastic. Blech.

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

How far, exactly? I mean, Asstastic is pretty harsh already.

I'd like photogenic snow, please. The kind of snow that looks pretty and makes the streets look pretty, but doesn't make it impossible to get from place to place and make people crash.

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

Melt-away-by-noon snow, then. It's nice, especially when it's unexpected.

but doesn't...make people crash

But that's self-selection out of the gene pool! Aren't you a supporter of the Darwin Awards?

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

Not if it causes innocent, awesome people to be hurt or killed, too.

Three drops of rain on a highway make people crash

[tv-elf.livejournal.com]

Can you make it rain kittens? Cause that would just be fun.

Er, yes, I need help.

How about splitting California off from the rest of the nation during an earthquake. Just time it so Arnie is away at the time.

I was going to post a clarification note about how Bush's "hometown newspaper" is really Midland Reporter-Telegram, not the Lone Star Iconoclast (which I've never even heard of), until I finally realized that the Iconoclast is from CRAWFORD, not Midland (from which I grew up half an hour). I'm a dork.

Crawford is where Bush lives now, but his hometown in the sense of having been born there is Midland. And Midland will never, ever, EVER let you forget this. EVEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. (I swear, I think they're preparing to dip his childhood home in bronze or something...)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Um, is there a fund to contribute to that'll get him dipped in bronze? Because I'll find money somewhere for anything that shuts him up.

I thought the girl with the torn sign was the victim of a hoax caused by her dad.
