It could be worse, AFK a while...
on: April 16, 2006, 08:49:03 am
So about 3am Saturday morning, someone decided to have too much to drink and park their Nissan in my living room.

Me, wife, ferrets are all fine. The Living Room is totalled.

The upshot? If you were expecting anything from me, it will have to wait till I find a new home. SCP included (not that they need me for much).

You could buy our book if you wanted to make me feel better though ;)

Wait, how did the car even penetrate the walls? When I think of a car and I think of a house, there isn't much question as to which should crumple first.

Well, good thing everyone's OK.

Holy ****.

Um, and obviously comiserations and soforth.  I'm just rather shocked at the thought of a car driving through your house, so something more eloquent fails to come to mind beyond "that's rough".  But, so long as you & the loved ones are ok.

He built his house of sticks and apparently the Wolf can drive a Nissan.

God, did this happen at night?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

If that ever happened to me, regardless of any threat to my health, the first thing I'd have to do would be scream "ARGH! IT'S THE RAPTURE! QUICK, GET BART OUT OF THE HOUSE!"

Did you catch them? Could they walk away from the crash? More importantly could they walk away after meeting you? :)

In a way that's a shame (that he wasn't injured). A little injury might teach him what a drunk-driving conviction cannot. That it's just not safe to drink and drive.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
