But he clearly states :

No details. Please don't look up the coordinates. That's not the way it's done. You take the coordinates and time, then roll with it. You don't interpret what you see, you just report. I was looking for a missing person and doing some personal work when this view popped up. I don't usually do interpretation, I leave it to others. This was an intrusion and so I decided to interpret the scene myself.

You don't think a decent tsunami can flatten everything "out to the horizon?"


Might be Gojira.

Atomic breath.

I've got my 8 CD set of the Toho studios movies coming.

Yeah, he's talking about doing "Remote Viewing." Since Remote Viewing is bunk, I'm not going to follow his rules.

By the way, 0830 hours JST on 10/28 is 2130 EST on 10/27. That's a little problem with stuff allegedly happening on one particular date.

flanagan is like the converse of a Turing test. A (presumed) human being whose posts are indistinguishable from a chatbot.

Honest question: why do you think that I (and others) have suggested this?

I don't feel like looking. Anyone, off hand, know where did the tradition of jack-o-lanterns come from? Pagan?

By the way, my daughter wanted me to carve a squirrel and I didn't do half-bad. An acorn and all!

My other daughter's boyfriend carved their pumpkin. I don't miss the days of carving four pumpkins. My hand would be cramping up something fierce.

"What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought my Dark Lord of the Sith could protect a small thermal exhaust port that's only 2-meters wide! That thing wasn't even fully paid off yet! You have any idea what this is going to do to my credit?!?!"

"What? Oh, oh, 'just rebuild it'? Oh, real [bleep]ing original. And who's gonna give me a loan, jackhole? You? You got an ATM on that torso LiteBrite?"

When I was a kid, it was still the Golden Age of Halloween - my buds and I could cover a huge territory, and I'd fill two pillowcases with as much candy as I could carry (never ate much of it, though). By the time my kids came along, it had changed to involve car pools, parties, and rather more elaborate costumes. And yeah, I had to do all the work on the jack-o-lanterns, too.

We had a small neighborhood and, without fail, the families would over buy, then if we went late enough, they would just dump candy on us.

The coordination of the kids and their neighborhoods requires more planning than D-day. Not to mention that I have to wait until all the driving's done before I can crack open a Guinness or three.

I don't have any military background myself, or in my family, so I was delighted to learn of a tradition in some military base communities, wherein Dad chaperones the kids from door to door, and has the opportunity to have his beer mug refilled at each stop.

That would be enough to make even me say, "God Bless America!"

Same thing in some of the McMansion neighborhoods around here. But since I had to drive home, I had to pass. That, and I tend to be a beer snob: either Victory microbrews or Guinness.
