Best of luck to you Gunnar. Really unfortunate goings on at the moment. I thought we copped it hard here with the floods, but it paled in comparison to Christchurch, and now this… truly shocking.
Unimaginable devastation. Take care going over there. Guess the US is sending in Navy help? Many other countries as well. Hope your extended family’s ok.
google set up a people finder, i think this is an awesome thing they have done.
red cross will be geting my hundred bucks.
Thank you, Gerda!
I’m in Taipei now. I’m a bit tired and numbed from all the chaos and am refraining from checking the latest news until I get checked into my hotel in Singapore.
The attendant at the airport (LAX) lounge took pity on my emo sulking and gave me free beer (Newcastle on tap) . . . always appreciated.
Anyway, thanks again for everyone’s concern and well wishes/ prayers.
Well, US State Department is arranging evacuations and urging Americans to get out as fast as they can.
I’m still routing through Tokyo-Narita on my return home on Sunday. Looks like they’ll be checking me for fallout/contamination on my return and I might get to hang out in a quarantine.
Awesome.
That’s horrible man!
any word on your Wifey’s family and friends… wasn’t she missing a few? heard the death toll was at 4,000
sad news man

My family is okay. Thanks for asking. They are in Shizuoka — although there was another 6.0 earthquake centered there two days back.
The death toll now is at 6000 and climbing.
Idk if you guys heard but Simon Cowell is putting together a benifit song for this disaster. It’s gonna include Justin Beiber, Britney Spears and Katy Perry. This should really make the japanese happy
Yeah . . . that outta make everything better.
I hope they can get Slim Shady to join them.
Damn your avatar!!! LoL

Just read that the song is a hoax. Simon said he’s not involved in such a project. Apparently someone pretending to be Simon on twitter started the whole thing. Thank god. Last time we got one of those kinds of songs it was horrible
HAHAHA!!! Great hoax, by the way.
I started already having flashbacks of being forced to sing “We Are The World” in our 6th grade Christmas Pageant.
That’s pretty bad. You guys should’ve done this song

Yeah, that would have been badass. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the prerequisite 27 guitar virtuosos to play shredding solos.
There was nothing chicky about Rob Halford’s hair in that vid. Now if you wanna see Rob look more femme take a look at this:

I think he looks like a cross between Beck and the kid from “Gummo”.

You really had to reference Gummo? That movie made no sense
HAHAHA!!! Great hoax, by the way.

I can beat that - my elementary school having to learn “Heal the World” by Michael Jackson. Ironically, it was the same year the molestation charges got brought into the light.
