Pago Pago, American Samoa Superthread

[Alisaura]

This just gave me visions of a blobfish skulking along some deep sea sediment.

Hah, I daresay a few blobfish would be grumpily swept along if ESW went by!

 

[Axver]

This just begs for a cartoon drawing.

Seconded!

By the way...

Iceland volcano could have world consequences - Science- msnbc.com

Volcano + glacier action!

(I hope no one is hurt.)

Plus, how awesome and METTOOOOOHHHHLLL are Icelandic names... Eyjafjallajokull! Myrdalsjokull! I have no idea how to even start thinking about pronouncing those!

 

[Alisaura]

Ali what would the world be without you.

Much poorer in the Random Insane Sleep-Deprived Sugar-High Bullshit Department.

(It's just down the hall from the Department of Redundancy Department.)

 

[Alisaura]

Seconded!

Thirded! Righto Charlotte, get to work

I'm sure we wouldn't want to lose Bjork.

Yes, yes it is.

I can't believe people in the UK died in 1783 from gas poisoning when Laki went up.

The names are AMAZING. I'm kind of let down by that second volcano just being Katla. But a thread totally needs to go to Eyjafjallajokull! It must be a tr00ly kvlt place.

Oh, you're passing the MS Paint buck to her now are you? Slacker.

That's pretty intense. I can't remember where this happened but there was another eruption that ended with loads of people dying from gas that bubbled out of a lake or something. Or maybe it came out as part of the eruption... eh, who knows.

I'm just in love with the term "explosive outgassing".

Yes! That would be an awesome thread location.

 

[Alisaura]

Yes, yes it is.

I was very fond of that Bjork song that everyone knows... and a few of Emiliana Torrini's too.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Suddenly Pago Pago seems boring and lame.

 

[Alisaura]

Since when am I the MS Paint whiz? After seeing Charlotte's incomparable Theremin Circulation diagram (and that other one that's too awesome for a name), she has earned all future MS Paint commissions as far as I'm concerned

*wishes for magical modly thread-name-changing powerz*

It's really no contest between that and telepathy or something else boring.

 

[Alisaura]

OMG I have Koko Black choc.

This evening has been as good as the day was crap. Which is to say, pretty freaking good.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh, and Ali. I 100% approve of your new signature.

 

[Axver]

Oh, and Ali. I 100% approve of your new signature.

Yes, it is non-stop win.

 

[Alisaura]

Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson!! That's it, I am so going to Iceland.

 

[Alisaura]

Oh, and Ali. I 100% approve of your new signature.

Why thank you... all due credit to the Simpsons, and Ax for taking the photo.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It is also awesome how 50% of Icelanders believe in elves and fairies.

But guys if we have to go we gotta donate some money to the banks, you know they have holes in their pockets.

It's so much better than me taking a picture of a pile of dirt and writing something funny about it.

Yes! That would be an awesome thread location.

My knowledge of eruptions really doesn't get far beyond Krakatoa, Ruapehu, Taupo, Tarawera, and a passing familiarity with most volcanoes of note that have been active in the last 200 years.

Incidentally, if Tarawera's major eruption in 1886 involved explosive outgassing, it would be ... perfect, given how its name means "the burning vagina".

Take them a Macca's burger too, since their McDonald's has closed-

... wait, they're probably happier now.

If I lived next to a volcano under a glacier, I'd believe in elves, fairies, gods, and anything else that might stop my house from blowing up!

At least we know Iceland is 100% free of McDonald'ses now!

Who needs McDonalds? I mean, North Korea doesn't need 'em.

North Korea apparently doesn't need a lot of things, like democracy and transparancy and stuff.

And maybe even mystical fjord dragons!

And now they want to get in the EU.

But they DO need nukes. They provide you with your complete daily radioactivity requirements! Part of a well-rounded geopolitical diet.

I've seen quite a few pictures of North Korea. It's pretty much a 10-lane road with one or two cars on them. Plus many commieblocks and the giant behemoth 330m Ryungyong hotel which took them 20+ years to build.

And they have traffic ladies instead of traffic lights.
