The odd thing about Buffalo

razorjakAs fucked up and backasswards as the city is on almost everything else ... we seem to have been one of the few cities in the Northeast that didn't lose power during the blackout. In fact - we had the A/C cranked in the club last night.
There was one benefit to the blackout. I didn't have to deal with that third rate cover band Toe Tag last night. They were okay the first time ... but hearing the same thrice damned set of covers every fucking week ... and dealing with their moronic ideas ( if we play in the parking lot of the club - it'll draw people ) ... sheer bliss. Their vocalist was stuck in Angola due to the "rolling"(1) blackout last night.
Still can't believe how many of the asshats and fucktards simply assumed that no light = green light. HELLO! braintrust - no lights = four way stop you frothing piece of swine smegma!
It amazes me just how UNPREPARED most of the sheep are. They make situations WORSE because of their panicking. Though it had to be a boon for the gas-stations that did have power to the pumps. They sold out of those red plastic gas tanks in record time.
Things like this just make me realize how quickly we'd all die out if there was a global EMP pulse. The tribal societies would be the only ones to survive.
(1) - I still can't believe they let that empty warhead speak about the situation. Don't his handlers know better to let him speak without a script? Georgie-porridgey, it was a BLACKOUT ... the worst since the 60s. There was no "rolling" to it except the domino effect that caused it to be even more severe than it should have. YAY for deregulation eh?

Blackout brilliance...
And yes. A generator will be an addition to my house when I find the right one. As will an arsenal in the basement and a stockpile of non-perishable foods and barter goods.
Presently, debating getting a dog after I buy a house. They are useful, but do I really want to housebreak a dog while dealing with a newborn?
