My favourite comments about the blackout

[ivyblossom]

From Metafilter:

"Someone must have plugged in their dancing santa."

"I welcome our new Amish overlords."

"We have power in Georgia. Also indoor plumbing, some of us."

"Why do you all hate power outages so much? That's unpatriotic!"

"All your power are belong to us!"

"Reuters says it was indeed a lightning strike. Time to add Thor to the terrorist list."

"To retaliate against that hated Thor, we should rename his day, Thursday, to Freedomday."

"It's OK. Someone just thought Matrix Reloaded was a documentary."

It's good to laugh at these things. *waits for next rolling blackout*

Ivy,

This one was my favorite:

Some other great ones:

"Uncomfirmed reports of a plague of locusts heading from the south."

"I would just like to say that I am opposed to power outages, and if my side was in charge, this wouldn't have happened."

"I would just like to say that I am opposed to power outages, and if my side was in charge, this wouldn't have happened."

"The lightning bolt is a smoking gun which points to Thor. Thor is worshiped by the Asatru, most of whom live in Iceland. Clearly we must invade Iceland.

That's good, but using Dubya logic we'd invade Chile, not Iceland."

::wipes tears:: I love the Internet.

Yes, given The Shrub's logic, Chile is the only logical place to invade since the Asatru are clearly responsible for the power outage.

And why Thor? Other than Thursday is named after him. But why not Zeus? Maybe Apollo was playing with Daddy's lightning bolts again. Bad Apollo!

Yarg, teach me to proof my messages before posting. It should have read in the latter part:

And why Thor? Other than Thursday is named after him, it may just be a coincidence. But why not Zeus? Or maybe Apollo was playing with Daddy's lightning bolts again. Bad Apollo!

As an Icelander I must reply....

You should just try to invade Iceland! Apart from the fact that you would accomplish nothing (what do you want? Lava? Fish? Blondes? They're mostly died...) you would have a hard time finding us. The glaciers would freeze you, the volcanoes burn you and the earthquakes shake you off the ground. Meanwhile, the few of us that live here (I actually once was in a STREET in France where there lived more people than in whole Iceland) would just sit back in our comfortable houses and watch everything on the internet;) And then keep praising Thor! ;) After all, I think the Asatru 'cult' consists of a total of 300 people. We're a huge threat.

Yes, it's all Thor's fault.

I LOVE these two. Ahahahahaha...poor Thor. They all better watch it or he might just strike again and make it permanent this time. ;)

I kinda want a blackout now...but no.

Oh, gawd. That's the last thing we need.

Therein lies a tale.

Once, while camping during a thunderstorm, Mikal the Ram was telling tales in which Thor was bested, and singing "Loki's Song"
which runs down the Thunderer exceedingly.

The storm raged and raged, and as Mikal hit the last chorus, a lightening bolt shook the camp so hard that everyone's hair frizzed, and teeth chattered. (It actually struck a ten about 10 meters away)

Mikal went to the edge of the large tent he was under, shook his fist at the sky and yelled "You missed!"

Adding Thor to the terrorist list is a VERY bad idea.

*indignant stare* We *do* have indoor plumbing in Georgia! Honestly!

Glad you're ok!
