The esteemed Gnarlodious one spake ...

OT: Camping In Yellowstone

For the slightly more alarmist, here is a page that goes into detail:

So I ponied up...

Wow! combine that with the "data" that there is a HUGEMONGOUS chunk of
rampant rock heading towards our tiny blue marble and it's clear that I'm
going camping tomorrow and I'm not coming back...well...not for a little
while.  Do note the overall flavo(u)r of the website.

To paraphrase Gene "the web is very like a large herd of elephants,
unmanageable, unpredictable, and capable of proliferating massive quantities
of excrement without warning"

So what shall it be, brethren?  The firey ash, the cold rock, the enormous
wave of dung, or Karaoke, the fifth horseman of the apocolypse.  All are
probably better than assuming we'll get beyond the present shrubbery.  WTF
is gonna pay for all that stuff.  Guns, butter, cheap gas, foreign "aid",
reconstruction for Afghanis whilst our backyard is awash in...firey ash, big
rock, waves of governmental dung....you can't have it all.  And if you
could, where would you put it?
