So, how long before the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull is, like the Haitian earthquake, pinned by some tapioca-brained celebrity on the decadent, Gaia-hatin' lifestyle of the West?
They'd probably indict us for the recent earthquake in Qinghai, too, but it's harder to get news crews out to the ass end of nowhere in China and the hotels in Reykjavik are a lot nicer.
EDIT: It has been pointed out to me that I spoke way too damn soon. Look, when the Laurentide ice sheet melted, it may have affected the continent below it and triggered serious seismic activity. The scenic little glacier in some mountain valley in Banff? Not so much. (If you had to look up "Laurentide ice sheet", you are recused from offering an opinion, hippie.)
George Bush's fault.
ReplyDeleteBecause of global warming, the air, ummm, goes up more and doesn't push on the ground as much, so it makes the land lighter and it floats more on the magma juices which makes more volcanos.
ReplyDeleteQED.
According to one of Iran's top clerics, earthquakes are caused by provocatively dressed women engaging in extramarital sex. Which is news to me, because everyone knows it's just the giant turtle shifting.

Why don't we help send Phelps and his bunch over to the volcano to protest?
ReplyDeleteYa mean Danny Glover hasn't?

I thought it was Iceland's revenge for their currecy going worthless against the Euro. It was this or Viking raiders.
ReplyDeleteSomebody already has.

Right...
Now is the time to get out all that "global cooling" stuff you saved from back in the eighties!
ReplyDeleteHow long? Three days ago.
ReplyDeleteOh, there's plenty of back-door blame...see, the volcano is natural and beautiful, and worship-worthy...and vengeful.
ReplyDeleteAnd as punishment for that decadent, Gaia-hatin' lifestyle of the West, She has put the kibosh to all that jettin' around of those rich, pompous, wasteful ozone-killin' capitalists!
Wait, what? You mean Billl and Jimmah and Bono are grounded too? WTF, Mother, they are your friends and protectors of your innocent chilluns...didn't you see them on teevee?

ReplyDeletePffft, how does my computer have anything to do with earthquakes?
As to volcanoes, I think we can all agree that Global Warming causes them as the polar bears tunnel under the earth to escape the oppressive heat of the Artic. When the polar bears, scientific name "digging bears", disrupt a large pool of magma, a volcanic eruption ensues.

ReplyDeleteJust you wait, in a year or 5 Katla, Eyjafjallajökull's really mean, nasty and very large neighbour will have it's statitiscally probable meltdown and hissy fit.
ReplyDeleteShutting down airports in Europe for a few days will be considered childs play.
I want to thank George Bush for keeping my boss trapped in the UK and out of my hair for another week. God bless your George.

ReplyDeleteAll the more reason to shoot all the polar bears now!
Defend freedom, shoot bears.

Bram: I voted for Viking Raiders. I thought making the Euroweenies deal with that again would have been a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteDefend freedom, shoot bears.
ReplyDeleteI'll follow you anywhere.
I was going to say that modern Vikings could sail up the Seine and be drinking beer out of the shoes of Parisian strippers in 48 hours flat but, come to think of it, the descendants of the Vikings aren't all they used to be, either. Look at the liberal enclaves that have sprouted up in the traditional Scandihoovian homelands of Sweden, Denmark, and Minnesota...
ReplyDeleteI heard it was the explosive growth of the Australian Drop Bear population due to Gorebull Warning that was causing an imbalance in the resonant balance of the crustal layers as they float upon Gaia's bodily fluids.

Good luck gettin' the hippies to not have or express an opinion.
ReplyDeleteAnd now the kooks in charge can blame this on Gorebal Warming also!!
