Every city on the west coast of the US is at risk from the San Andreas Fault. Every city on the East coast is a risk from a tsunami from the collapse of a known undersea cliff formation near the Canary Islands. New Orleans is ... well ...

Sorry, guys, but the only safe place is in fact Ohio.

ROAD TRIP!!! Everyone head to Shaw's house immediately!
There is no other safe place and she's probably at work so we could drink her beer and eat her chips before she even knows we are there.

Which is the home of the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant with both a hole in its containment dome AND a known Three Mile Island problem. But it continued operating anyway because mistakes in OH are acceptable.

Or First Energy whose operations were so hazardous as to creat the entire NE blackout from Michigan and Indiana, through Ontario, and all of New York. First Energy happened when bean counters bought Dayton Electric, Todelo Edison, Penn Electric, and soon Allegheny Energy. First Energy also owns Three Mile Island.

Otherwise OH is a safer place.

Texas is pretty safe as long as we're a couple hundred miles inland from the Gulf, right tw? I'm just trying to keep my emergency disaster plan up-to-date.

I think this is a great idea.

She'll be so overcome with joy she probably won't even notice the potato chip crumbs all over the carpet or mind cellar people fighting over her last beer.

As long as your bus driver does not have burning brakes...

and Saddam does not come back from the grave seeking revenge with his finally located WMDs.

Well, its a big state. And Saddam only had little WMDs. Your probably safe.

That's true, World War III is probably going to be started with Middle Eastern nukes striking New York, Los Angeles, and Crawford. I'm screwed.

I think W sold his place in Crawford (no need to appear to be a common guy any longer), so you're safe. ust as long as the terrorists are up on current events.

First rule: there is always more beer. I'll buy, you fly.

Second rule: any food you find on the floor is all yours. I take no responsibility for any food-borne illness, however.

Third rule: you must shovel snow.

Hey beeatch, I was a jokin'

so, um, fuck you.

My house is dirty (my floor is golden? why are you so dumb?) there is snow everywhere, and I was more than happy to drink a beer with you.

Hahahahahahaa...I thought I detected niceness...you're a wily one.

But go ahead, get on the bandwagon. You feel better? Popularity was slipping?

And I have a man, I just don't have to act like a whore to get him to do stuff for me.

And thanks, sky. It's refreshing, how different you are than most people.
