Well, that's gonna put a fucking damper on things

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

SORRY ABOUT THE THREAD DRIFT.

I just wanted to reply to that spiel that assumed that somehow, the relatively short-lived historical value of NO made it make sense to decide to move there.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Also, if everyone relocated away from all of the really dangerous natural disasters, everyone would basically be living in the Northwest and the Northeast.

I don't want any more neighbors.  I like my space.  

Eh, not the NW. We're slated for earthquake catastrophe and it's going to be ugly, Japan-style, plus we have Hanford. If you want to be freaked out by the sheer potential, look it up.

But I was born here. I am not questioning people who live in an area they were born and raised... I'm asking why you would be all, "shit, I've always wanted to try meth, why not?"

I wonder the same fucking thing about people who move to Portland. Seriously, guys, we're all gonna die in a really messy and unpleasant way. Why would you move here on purpose?

Isn't Hanford decommissioned?

No wait, let me guess, the site was decommissioned because its full to bursting with nuclear waste that there's no proper dump site for.

It is decommissioned in the sense that they no longer make plutonium for nuclear weapons there. however, it's also the single most contaminated superfund site in the US, and will probably be so for another couple thousand years.

Radioactive bunnies! Also there's still an active power plant there. GOD KNOWS WHY.

I still think you should become a coroner because THAT WOULD BE PURE AWESOME. You'd be like Quincy, only you'd be you.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

And the thread is straying. I don't care about where natural disasters are more likely or which cities we should abandon, unless it's relevant to a potential new career path for me.

At first I thought:

But then a quick search seemed to indicate that people who parachute into forest fires don't get paid as much as you might think.

Yeah, I have a friend who does that. The advantage is lots of time off in the winter. The disadvantages are low pay, loneliness, and a high possibility that you might die.

One thing it has going for it is that people are never going to stop dying.

No idea how much they get paid though.

I could give as much of a flying fuck about this as about the zoo bear that died that everybody is boo-hooing about.

So New Orleans is neat.

SWELL.

I still don't get why anyone is gung-ho to move there. this, if you have a couple of brain cells to rub together, is different from advocating abandonment.

But then, I also don't get why people move to Portland in droves.

This isn't reasonable debate, this is cunt-nuggetry.

You know, after trying to keep an open mind for what? two years now? I have to conclude that you're kind of a bitch and we really aren't going to like each other.

How about this: I ignore you and you ignore me. Don't respond to anything I write (cause you think everything I have to say is stupid, anyway) and I won't reference or respond to you. We should be fine after that.

Thank you,

Sorry I don't have a crush on your favorite place.  I'm not out to hurt your feelings, I just don't fucking get it, and I also don't appreciate having sentiments I never expressed (advocating abandonment) attributed to me. I'm afraid I'm gonna stick with that, I hope it doesn't bruise your pussy too much.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm sure New Orleans is fun and awesome and I would enjoy visiting it. I might even think it was great enough to move to, although leaving my current certain deathtrap-by-earthquake locale would be a hard decision.

I'm just going to jump in to this whole Nigel vs. navkat thing, and navkat, you have talked to Roger right? How did/do you survive Roger if Nigel's vague prodding bothers you?

How about, instead, you shut the fuck up, stop encouraging some slight personal beef that nobody cares about, and STOP SPAGGING UP MY FUCKING THREAD WITH STUPID IRRELEVANT SHIT?

thanks in advance.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Talking to Roger is a whole different experience because once you get him on the phone you can totally tell he's holding back laughter the whole fucking time. Or not holding it back; he laughs a lot.

Or maybe that's just me. I find that in person, people are usually laughing around me. Online, though, the exact same shit tends to piss people the fuck off.

Also, my fucking chair stinks like something died in it, WTF. This is just gross. No wonder I'm cranky.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm sorry for further derailing your thread, ECH. Seriously, though, I think coroners make like 100k in straight salary, not counting bennies. You would be such an awesome coroner, it would make people look forward to dying.

I get Roger. If you notice, he's not ever really nasty about anything, just takes a superior stance and simply asserts that you are wrong (even when he's fucking with you). He pokes and trolls but he does it with class.
