My Timing Was Off
I’ve been hiding out in my bunker all morning, but got bored.
Guess I’ll settle for a helmet with tin-foil liner for a while and get some sunshine. Sometime one just has to take chances.
THEY say it is harmless, but you know THEY wouldn’t tell us the truth about something like this.
Does anyone think it is a coincidence that THEY are having a National Emergency Alert Test to tomorrow?
I think not!
Category: Geezer Alert!
HOLY SHIT WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!
Ok panic over….
ALGORE HELP US!!!!!
I think I saw this movie a few years ago…..
What are other event that may necessitate the national emergency alert on November 9th, 2011?
1. Lou Ferrigno of “The Hulk” will turn 70. Hulk not happy. You won’t like him when he’s not happy.
2. The White House has “No Public Schedule.” Well, apocalyptic for DC-area golfers and small children who may have to listen to Obama read a book about himself.
3. Lindsay Lohan’s has been released from jail to conduct a second Playboy shoot. Maybe the 2006 Lohan was something to look at, but photographing a gin-soaked, 25-going-on-45 tart can have disastrous effect on the space-time continuum.
Activate national emergency system in 3. . . 2. . . 1.
Hulk turn 60. . . not 70.
Does anybody know what they mean by “close”? Is it passing between the earth and the moon? The earth and Mars? The earth and the sun? Our galaxy and the next one over? And what is this fly-by supposed to do? Raise the sea-levels? End global warming? Irradiate the next four generations?
Whatever.
gin-soaked
Maybe 70 years ago, Pat. Now she’s just another meth whore.
The only reason Larry Flynt doesn’t have her in Hustler is because he thinks she’s too skanky. I personally don’t think she’ll be in the “27 Club” because I don’t see how she lasts another two years.
And another thing…hey…why is it getting so dark all of a sudde….BOOM!!!!
Pinto–story says 202K miles. In astronomical terms, that’s pretty damned close.
As Sparky was saying, that is damn close. It is supposed to pass between the earth and the moon, kinda “threading the needle” so to speak.
Oh. So what we have here is the equivalent of an astronomical free-radical, that will basically go zinging around and around until it hits something. Nice.
I REALLY need to buy a bunker…
It’s not really passing “between the earth and the moon”.
It’s actually “above” the moon’s orbital plane. It’s just passing by at a distance closer than the moon is.

I use the term “gin-soaked” when I’m sitting here on the “Chesterfield” listening to the “Philco,” reading the Saturday Evening Post and waiting for my best girl to call me on the “ameche.”
I’m so scared I’m so scared. I think I’ll take a nap till I’m not so scared lol
Off topic but worth a look:
Sarkozy, Obama caught complaining about ‘liar’ Netanyahu
http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/11/08/sarkozy-calls-netanyahu-a-liar-while-talking-to-obama-report/
An Excerpt:
‘“I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar,” Sarkozy told Obama, unaware that the microphones in their meeting room had been switched on, enabling reporters in a separate location to listen in to a simultaneous translation. “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you,” Obama replied, according to the French interpreter. The technical gaffe is likely to cause great embarrassment to all three leaders as they look to work together to intensify international pressure on Iran over its nuclear ambitions.’
Comment: As if we needed anymore indicators where Israel stands with our community-organizer-in-chief…
I have absolute confidence that the Air Force team led by Colonel Jack O’Neill will be able to extend the hyperspace field from the goa’uld ship they stole so the asteroid will pass harmlessly through the planet.
After all, isn’t that what the Air Force gets paid for?
Sure! Hey, they got MacGyver!
“It’s not science fiction, it’s what we do every day.”….SMH
Carrier-sized asteroid, National Emergency Alert test, all at the same time geezers and sneezers are getting their flu shots.
Coincidence?
Asteroids, hemorrhoids. This too shall pass.
Save us Bruce Willis…Save us!
According to Spade’s first link, it’s already gone past.
We’re still here…
>According to Spade’s first link, it’s already gone past.
We’re still here…
Yeah we are all saved.. Well until the end of the Mayan calendar December 21, 2012…. Muhaha!
But what did it leave behind in its wake?
No, it ain’t over yet.
I find it a little funny that there was a country-wide service interruption so close to that. I wonder if the Dictator-in-Chief was testing his Internet kill switch that he said he would like but the courts said was unconstitutional.
About that asteroid…
Here’s a program “Earth Impact Effects Program” from http://impact.ese.ic.ac.uk/ImpactEffects/ that some of you can have fun(?) with.
Asteroid Diameter: 400 meters
Speed before entering Earth’s atmosphere: 8.056/sec.
(29,000mph)
“Welcome to the Earth Impact Effects Program: an easy-to-use, interactive web site for estimating the regional environmental consequences of an impact on Earth. This program will estimate the ejecta distribution, ground shaking, atmospheric blast wave, and thermal effects of an impact as well as the size of the crater produced.
Please enter values in the boxes below to describe your impact event of choice and your distance away. Then click “Calculate Effects” to learn about the environmental consequences.”
“This program is not under warranty,”(leastways, that’s what they said).
