From my friends list, on yesterday's minor temblor out West

Copied verbatim from a comment on serendipitygirl's page:

>>""Earthquake!" - which, strangely, I look forward to experiencing myself."

You are stone fucking crazy. Seriously. Wanting the earth to move around under your feet, flinging you this way and the foundation of your building that way? Uh-uh. I don't think so. I'll stick with manageable things like tornadoes and massive hurricanes, thanks. At least they come with advance notice.

Congratulations, by the way. Though the yaks certainly had their hopes up.

Half of my own list seems to be posting about the quake, too; I look at it as good news that none of my friends were hurt or had any serious property damage. And having grown up in southwest Louisiana, I can definitely relate to dealing with massive hurricanes. But that yak thing at the end? Ya totally lost me there...

*laughs* See, that little exchange was between blissfish and I who've known each other about 12 years - we were even married for part of that - so any conversation betwixt us is likely to be chock full to brimming with metaphors, double (and triple!) entendres, in jokes and odd references.
The yak thing? It comes from a post she made where all she said was WEDNESDAY and I knew precisely what she was talking about.
As with everything, it's all in the context....;)

Heh, reminds me of the time Chad's mom and dad admitted to wanting to experience an earthquake.

Not a big one mind you, but a small one enough to feel a tremor.

We tried to GENTLY remind them that you can't specially order those things.

*boggles*

She did get to experience one later..:p
