Oh, for fuck's sake. Could we all just take a week off from getting Act-Of-Godded, please? If only to keep our collective stress levels down? "In related news, the lightning that was thought to have struck Chad only hit the tall-boy of Coors Lite he had next to him. As prophesized, California has broken off and fallen into the sea, but the little patch remaining has a neon Paramount Parking sign flickering gamely overhead - an uptime that's thanks to Linux, the BALUG rep on the scene reports. Cthulhu arose unexpectedly in Ohio, livening the hell out of the place, before cutting a swath towards Chicago and levelling it in one fell swoop of his indescribably tentacled appendages before moving onto using Cedar Point as a toothpick, apparently leaving only chocolate shops and places that serve meat on a stick standing and muttering something in Sumerian about general principles. Indianapolis was found to have been translocated to Oz after a particularly vicous tornado, leaving only those stores and establishments unsuitable for Munchkin sensibilities and a PG audience behind. Michigan and the surrounding environs have been racked with a mysterious and particularly virulent STD and Texas is still replete, despite any and all appeals to morals or rational thought, with Texans."
