Wow! My house was shaking. At least a 4.5 - 5.0 magnitude I bet.

That was wild.

I felt it all the way here in the greater Boston area.  Was in my kitchen at the time and all our tea cans started shaking on top of the stove.

Glad you're okay.  I know about the fault line in Lake Ontario, but with magnitude 1-2 earthquakes all you really get near the 'centre of the universe' is a funny feeling.  Quite the surprise to hear about NY getting a 4.8.

How's Gus doing?

I'm at U. Of Pitt right now with my older daughter for an orientation. My office is collectively shitting themselves but everything appears to be ok, thanks Uber.

If things get bad enough, float your house to the N. shore of Lake Ontario.  I'll come and pick you up; my wife and I can always borrow a rowing shell and tow you in if necessary.  It's been a while but we could use the exercise.

Initial reports are saying a 4.8.  Hope all ye Grogs and Grog-properties are OK.  I was in VA for the 2011 quake.  They sure can rock your house.

I didn't know that area of the US was susceptible to earthquakes!

Very rare, but they do happen. Last one that I felt was about 12 years ago.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

we're glad you guys marked yourselves safe!  :Party:

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I've never felt one and my record of 0 still stands. One of my best friends in rural PA was home and said he almost shit himself today, though 💩

Just read something that when the 4.8 magnitude earthquake started in the NYC area the U.N. security council was meeting to discuss the situation in Gaza.

I guess what I find interesting is that earth quake JH felt occurred at the same moment the U.N. was meeting to discuss the situation in Gaza. 

Could the earthquake have been a warning to the U.N. to watch it's step on how it handles the latest turmoil in the middle east?
