Son of a Bitch


I am made to understand on SEPT 5, that TWO near Earth astroids came between the moon and the Earth. We have nothing to fear I guess because if they do hit the atmosphere they will MORE THAN LIKELY BURN UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE. That is all fine and good with me but my problem with this is how did I only get 2 FUCKING days notice to fill my basement with clean water and canned goods?

I am not joking here. From the big ones you can get away with a few months notice but I DO want to know the ones that are going to hit me within the week if not daily. That is some pretty sloppy asteroid notification system. I never want to get as complacent with these space rocks as I get with the 'take my umbrella' with me' icon I see on the morning weather report.

I second your thought. When is the generation that grew up playing asteroids going to take the initiative and start a space rock blasting program?

and I want full control of that little buzzabuzza space ship with the sheild around it. Let's get with it people. We are letting the jet back go but things like astroids, pongs and "Back to the Future" hoverboards are due this X-mas. Seriously.

I don't know. If one is coming and it is unstoppable and we haven't gotten the defenses set in time, I am good with not knowing. Don't want to spend final moments in panic and anarchy, thank you very much.

I have 6 kids asteroid panic and anarchy would be a nice change.

Don't worry Kal, these two were really small, so they probably would have only destroyed your house. You're neighbors would have been fine. There, feel better?
