September 2, 2004 He's tied to the mast
chrisrieder2001 (11:41:54 AM): i’m gonna blog the hurricane
tone1971 (11:43:22 AM): By “blog the hurricane” do you mean you’re going to take the “What kind of Hurricane are you” Livejournal test?
chrisrieder2001 (11:44:21 AM): yes. “YOU ARE HURRICANE CHARLEY. YOU CAUSE UNTOLD BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE AND KILL 27 PEOPLE!!!11!!uno!111!!
tone1971 (11:44:39 AM): heh
chrisrieder2001 (11:44:50 AM): nah, i’m just going to write about the storm and post pics for as long as the phone lines hold out
tone1971 (11:45:58 AM): rock on! You’re like the 21st century version of the old man who won’t abandon his home even though the forest fire is coming
chrisrieder2001 (11:46:38 AM): yes. i have iron balls. hopefully their mass will serve as ballast so i don’t get blown away.
It would be sad if Chris were to be killed by Hurricane Frances. But if his last words to me were, “yes. i have iron balls. hopefully their mass will serve as ballast so i don’t get blown away.” …that wouldn’t surprise me at all.
That reminds me of the old coot living near _____(? can’t recall the volcanos name, all of a sudden?) when the warnings of imminent eruption were being broadcast, and he got engulfed by it all…

Should we be glad that we didn’t have this Interweb thing in 1980 when Mount St. Helens blew? For some reason, I could see half of Livejournal being taken out in one eruption: “Mikcey was such a bitch last night out by the caldera, and I know Joey fucked her anyway, and OH MY GOD MY EYES ARE BURNING OFF

Harry S. Truman of the Spirit Lodge on Spirit Lake on Mt. St. Helens. I was 13 when St. Helens blew, and a lot of people suspected that he might have survived if he’d been able to hit the lava caves nearby. Apparently, he couldn’t run that fast.
