Is it 20/12? A little early.

20/12...? not enough coffee yet Mary?

I was just kidding. But if it does happen Tramp, take care.

That would be 12/21/12

and that would be what i like to call a "stutter post"

TY Mary...you have a great weekend as well.

I'm waiting for California to separate from the mainland.

Rontron, then we can stop paying the federal government just to have those tax funds sucked up by the red states. We'll keep our tax dollars for ourselves and solve our financial problems.

Mary J.,

Is your mothers name Patricia ?

C. B.

Ron, we're all waiting for that to happen, and have been for years.

I know... I know... It's the rock god TromBlor and he is angred that we haven't presented him with 16 oxen and 10 hogs heads whisky of virtue pure. Quick.. prepare the sacrafice table... you know the one that the shaman hide after the festivities just before they disappear for two days.

you must have been watching out of africa on netflix...cogito

funny post

mike430: If there is anyone left to pay taxes.

Slept right thru it.

Funny, CA is the king of welfare!

Damn, the end of the world is coming and I don't even have any weed, that's no way to go out.

My cats have been unusually crazy lately - even the diva cat is running all over the place...they probably want some weed too???

AKRandy; just ignore the fact that about four Red States will fit into California...lmao!

wall street try to keep up that was renamed Arnold's fault a couple years back...ask Gov. Moonbeam.

Now it's named Bush Fault.

Should be called everyone's fault lol

San Onfre is offline smart guy. Keep your doomsday sh!t in the comic books

It's not my fault!

There's a big difference between Japan's coastline and the CA coastline which makes Tsunamis a lot less devastating. Japan's coastline abruptly drops off into very deep water, while CA's is in comparison a gentle slope. That slope helps soak up some of the energy and lessens the impact of incoming waves. I'm not saying that given a powerful enough quake that a devastating Tsunami won't happen, but it's a lot less likely.

Even if San Onofre is off line there is still stored nuclear material there.

No for a question re Tsunamis - diesn't the distance of the epicenter or event from the coast effect the size of the wave. SO if a quake 22 miles off the coast causes a teunami wouldn't it be smaller than one from a quake 100 miles away?

Oh come on Rogger, I think cats and dogs will start living together, mass hysteria.....LOL

Wow. I didn't know we had a subduction fault off the coast. I was up and on the computer at that time and didn't feel a thing here in San Diego. How could I have missed that?

I'm past due for a major movement. BRB. L8R.

BigJeff - coleslaw - it works wonders. Big Jeff will be medium sized Jeff after a few weeks of fiber.

Holly; see that ABC check mark - click on it and see what happens.

You are aware that San Onofre is off-line....and hopefully will stay that way?????

You know, the plates that shift creating earthquakes here in southern California run North and south and slip in a north south direction. The possibility of Tsunamis generated from this slipping is very very low. Alaska and Oregon however are dealing with a similar situation as Japan when it comes to the orientation and slip direction of the plates in those areas.

We can have very large Earthquakes here, but we wont have any Tsunami that originates near our location. The Japan quake did damage here though. We had some of that wave and 2 people were killed as a result. -Heart attacks. There was damage to docked boats in San Diego as well. A major Tsunami generated off of the Oregon coast would certainly effect the west coast, but again, that wave would be mostly running perpendicular to the shore and would miss Los Angeles completely as we are tucked in underneath the easterly curvature of the lower California coast....

No Tsunami for you!

WOW, Rosie just can't catch a break! Just a couple of days ago she was working out in her garden, wearing a Malcolm-X t-shirt, & a Coast Guard chopper nearly landed on her.

You know as a person with a weight problem I resent the comments about others weight, I know that I have the problem, I dont need ridicule, I need to keep working at getting it under control, which is not easy. ANd when people ridicule folks like FXSTC and Scooter do it is hurtful to many people like me. I know that I will get flamed for this but I have to say it.

Trust me those of us who are obese know it, dont like it and many are trying to control it.

I eat too much brisket and sausages, I need to drop some lbs, I am not that sensitive about it. Everybody needs to get over themselves and stop getting butt hurt so easily. Most of the jokes about Rosie and MM stem from their self righteous attitudes, their weight is just the vehicle by which the jokes are delivered. If they weren't such hypocritical a$$holes they would get left alone more often. Just sayin.

Good grief Holly, I wasn't making fun of obese people in general, only an overweight celebrity that I have no use for. In no way should you have taken this personally & I'm sorry that you did. Good luck!

Holly, the post was about 2 specific people, not obese people in general. Hell I'm overweight and thought the post was funny. If it was a general post regarding several obese people doing activities to cause an earthquake, then there is reason to be upset. But seeing as it's about 2 people who are out of touch with reality, there is no hurt feelings here. Unless you are a fan of either one of them......

Insert "RUSH LIMBAUGH" stem from their self righteous attitudes, their weight is just the vehicle by which the jokes are delivered. If they weren't such hypocritical a$$holes they would get left alone more often. Just sayin.

In related news-nothing happened in Iowa, It never does.

earthquakes are of any serious magnitude are pretty rare here, and very few cause any serious damage. I slept though this one. I couldn't take the hurricanes and storms when I lived on the east coast. the quick changes in the barometer made my arthritis unbearable.

WomenOnGuard-1881067

Glad it didn't hit land.... yet

Earthquakes are land movements, tsunamis are water movements.

Good Luck with that WOG...hope you speak spanish, but then again you need that everywhere nowadays.

Did you sleep through the 1989 quake as well?

Lori

Buildings falling in on you will make your arthritis unnoticeable.

My friend didn't want to live in California because of the earthquakes. Then she was shot in the head while getting a cup of coffee on her birthday because some guy wanted to...I don't know, be crazy. She survived and decided she'd take her chances with the Big One.

I love California. I'll take the possibility of the Big One over guaranteed snow and hurricanes of other places.

Earthquake any day over a tornado or hurricane. Worst natural event I've been in was the blizzard of '77 in Ohio/Michigan when I came close to buying the farm (-70 degree wind chill, 12 foot drifts). I would move back to Cal in an instant if they got rid of about half the people out there. Just too crowded now, you can't hardly find any open space out there anymore. I've been in several large earthquakes, including the Tenino quake of 1949 in Washington, and many in S. Cal. If your not in a large building you'll probably be ok during one. Was in Newport Beach when the tsunami from the Anchorage quake was supposed to hit too, Catalina saved us by taking the brunt of it.

I've lived in SoCal my entire life - 47 years. I've been through lots of earthquakes. Of course there have been some lives lost during some of the bigger ones, but nothing like the devistation we see annually in hurricane country. The smaller ones - 5 and lower, usually don't cause too much damage - almost all of our bridges and buildings have been retrofitted to withstand much more shaking than that. We see flooding almost every year in some areas of the country that wipes out many homes. I don't mind that people are too afraid to move here - we're already over crowded. But even if "the big one" hits, I'd expect that we would probably not loose as many lives as have been lost over the years to other natural disasters throughout the country. In other words, it probably doesn't really matter where you live, there will be some sort of natural disaster to worry about. I just prefer mine to come around every 10-20 years, than every year.

Want to live in California but fear earthquakes? Just buy earthquake insurance at high premiums and that pretty much guarantees that you won't get hit by one. Trust me, I know.

The '89 quake was a good shaker, but if we're still talking about it, that says something about their frequency. I'd much rather live in California with a random quake every now and again, than other areas in the U.S. that suffer through disasters (tornadoes, hurricanes) every year. I've lived all over the U.S., and due to the variety of things to do in California, (not to mention the weather), I wouldn't trade living here for anything.

poo!!!!! not even the angels in heaven know when the earth will cease to exist,,just god!!!!!! and it will be too late for people to realize,duh, it was true (bible),,,my ticket is bought (with jesus blood) and paid for,so i will just wait for the rapture or the grave,it does'nt matter just as long as i get to go!!!! you bunch of fools will fall for anything,,,lol

You writing that, and being named POOP, brings up loads of responses. lol

the 'big one" ??? i will check but i don't recall planing trip next week.......

GM T

Who exactly keeps thumbing you up for
toilet-humour? You’re like a horrible and more nerdy version of bevis and
butthead and yet the people on here are still immature enough to like you, why
don’t you try to go on a tour or something you’d obviously sell out any venue
fast than the dave matthews band and then people wouldn’t have to sift through
your garbage to get to meaningful content ?

Littlehater, I have class, style, and get along with people. I told you already, no one, except me, likes you.

Hello Scooter

It’s easy to get people to like you when all you
do is suck-up to them, too bad that I’m not a sell-out like you I guess but
unlike you I have actual values that I’d stand for until the death.

I have never sold out in my life. I simply have a nice personality. You on the other hand sound like an angry dwarf troll. Proof is in your friends list, which consists of 1 person.. Me.

You’re just holding an honorary-certificate you’re
not really my friend or else you would
have remembered to say happy birthday to me the other day and you didn’t so it’s
really hard to see you as anything but the devisive dinosaur-shop worker who
yells at kids for getting to close to the exhibits and shops online for new
shoelaces when the plastic tips on yours start to get worn every other week.

Oh damn. Now you gotta make me feel guilty. You know what a nice guy i am and pull those strings.

Happy Birthday to the troll hiding behind the LittleHater handle.

There

It’s too late for that, you’re place on my
people-who-have-wronged-me-list remains and once you get put on there it’s
really difficult to come off of it – I only just recently removed my neighbor
for shinning the high beams of his car-lights through my bedroom window one
night when I was having difficulty sleeping and that didn’t happen until he
agreed to host a viewing-party for my favorite
documentary.

Litter, I'd like you to know, I thumbed him up, just because you question why people would.

Is that your way of saying porn is the only way to get removed?

Thank you Emp.bob. See Littlehater, I have never even met Bob, yet he was inspired to like my post. That's what kindness does. You should try it.

Bob, the other day LittleHater had 1 thumb up on a post his entire day. (And I never told him it was from me).

No that bob moron just proved that people don’t
like your posts because they value what you’re saying they like them because
they’re groupie fan-boys who think that that’s what the cool thing to do is.
And I had more likes than that there was one other guy who obviously sifts past
the B.S. and realizes the truth.

Yes I know the key to your posts is to decipher through the BS. But not many people hold such a key. You need to decrypt a little.

ok, that was just weird. But I'm in a tech state of mind. In the mood for a good tech srticle.

simple questionlitter hater if you...

I have actual values that I’d stand for until the death.

THE why aren't you out picking up trash on the freeway instead of sitting on your computer?

( did i make the list?)

Because his computer is sitting by trash on the freeway.

Ohh that's cold. I shouldn't have said that. But notice I didn't delete it.

Not that it’s any of either of your businesses
but I’m not posting on a computer I’m posting on a portable computing-device
and I am standing up for my beliefs at the same time by not letting bullies like
you intimidate the other readers from learning more about this very interesting
and thought-provoking article if that’s
okay with you two janes.

You sound very shook up by this earthquake story.

Well yeah I am it’s a pretty terrifying event
that makes you wonder about the fraility of human-life but we should be more
forcused on those who it direclty affected and do what we can to make sure that
they are well taken-care of in this time of need.

It does make me tremble, but I have to keep rolling along.

The tiff between Hater and TF is rockin more than the quake! Keep it up!

LittleHater is constantly bringing me into tiffs like this. In multiple articles. I have yet to see a kind post from him, even though I have been nothing but nice. But I won't give up. There is hope.

TF

Good job. Go Knicks!

I thumbed him up too - i thought it was a pretty good play on words. ANd nothing wrong with a good toilet joke if it is funny.

Ran out of popcorn reading this.....I enjoyed the play on words. Made my morning and anyone with that as their name on a forum did it to expect silliness as well as to have fun themselves.

Avalon was the nearest city to the epicenter, thats why - now I would agree that unless you are familiar with Avalon you might have had to find it on a map to know they were talking off of Catalina. Also this was measured at lots of USGS sites - every where from CAL TECH in Pasadena to the Boulder Colorado office, to Berkley. Thats how they determine the epicenter by triangulation. A 6.3 quake at its epicenter can be felt fairly long distances 200 miles isn't that far in quake terms, I would bet people who were awake in Huntington Beach at the time of the quake felt it.

What the hell is wrong with you wishing death on an entire region of people? You embarass the rest of Texas. Sadam Hussein would have been proud.

Your ill wishes are only surpassed by your poor grammar. Fortunately, I speak second grade so I understood. No, wait. UNfortunately.

not all of californians are liberals. if you recall, california's people chose to vote against gay marriage in prop 8. how many other states have legalized it? but california is the state with the most liberal crazies? hmm.

personally i consider myself not too far right or left and don't like to get into all that liberal/conservative crap at all, since i identify myself with neither side. but come on texas. like styro said, wishing death on the entire state? even if they are all "lib tards" that is just a plain evil thing to say, but they aren't.

Texas might secede, But California succeeds

Love TEXAS

If California fell into the ocean, where would you get all your porn movies from?

Hopefully not the same Scientists(?) trying to sell that Anthropogenic Global Climate Change Scam!

They have been saying that since I was a kid. I'm on Social Security now.

It's increasing. Read your Bible if you have one or even believe in God. Your hell wording, there is one.

You guys need to watch the USGS site a little more. There are always earthquakes and those that are below a 4 don't ever get reported because they are minor. It's a natural occurance that is ALWAYS happening.

OK, someone is off their anti-hate meds. Judge much?

I have a feeling Margaret's post is a very weak attempt at trolling. Margaret, trolling doesn't mean sound as insane as possible.

No one is born gay. People chose to be gay plain and simple.

Give It Time - You're Not At A Movie Theater Where The Act Is Just about To Begin..........

More Likey Though Is Mt. Rainier will Blow before Seattle - Portland - Vancouver B.C. BIG ONE Will Hit!

Did The Eath Move Under Our Feet Or Is It All The Mary Jane Everyone's smokin ?

Sorry, but whackos and vulgarness is everywhere, not just in my state. We float off and you guys will still be left with sickos, whackjobs and who knows what else. If we float off, we won't have to deal with you special people, just the ones in our state and that's fewer people to worry about than the rest of the nation.

Then your house will fall down with all your goodies inside. That's the part they don't tell you about. See that's how they getcha.
