Thanks to the many of you who have asked about the situation in Southern California. Below is a picture from my office window. To be honest, walking outside is like walking into Hell. The sky is red. Ash covers the ground like snowflakes and every single breath hurts when inhaling. People are wearing masks, offices are on skeleton crews, and in 32 years, I've never seen anything like it. There are fires in every direction and whenever the authorities catch those who have done this, the culprits should not be afforded a trial; they should be fucking impaled and left outside to feel the burning in their eyes, and the embers in their lungs as a small taste of what they have coming to them. the_undertow 00:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
The disgusting portrayal of the sun at 4 in the afternoon.
My car, covered in ash, after 15 minutes in a covered parking spot.

Feel free

to talk as though none of this were happening. As long as I am here, I still have time to delete your article or block someone who reverts my edits. the_undertow 03:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

re:Guinea pig

Well, calling me a deletionist in general is probably fair. But in this case, it's not. The rule of thumb with uncited claims (forget where I saw it, probably just WP:V or the like) is: if it's potentially false but unharmful, just leave it and fact tag it. If it's uncited and potentially harmful, remove it. In an article which is supposed to represent the very best of Misplaced Pages, I consider it harmful for outlandish claims involving the eating of animals which most astronauts (read:Westerners and Russians) would find repulsive as food to stay without a very reliable citation.

P.S. Hope you're fairing well. Hang in there. VanTucky 18:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

It seems my sense of humor is still waiting for me at the bottom of my second cup of coffee :) VanTucky 18:33, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

This is far from enough to recognize your work...

Naathan Phan

Thanks for removing the notability tag! I've also added another gig, he was in Rent the musical. I've also emailed Naathan asking if he can add any more notable items to the article. -- GeĸrίtzĿ...•˚ 00:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Headline text!

My new Sig is the armor of my old friend Tijuana Brass (talk · contribs), I know I've had the same one for eternity, but change can be good. Or catastrophically bad. I'll flick you an e-mail, the net has been down 'till today. Cheers! Dfrg.msc 07:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

K, may be I'll just put an underscore in my sig. Dfrg.msc 07:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
