Fuck the solar eclipse

Assuming this isn’t a whoosh, I am too. :slight_smile:

No whoosh, cuz.

At least where I was the traffic was manageable except for where road destruction reduced the freeway to single lane.

I know this is a derailment, but it’s my thread, so screw it. Did your family live in the Italian neighborhood? My wife’s family was Polish, and I know that people pretty much stuck together by ethnicity back then. Her family goes back in Buffalo to great-grandparents, also, and her father was a union organizer for the steelworkers.

I missed the 8 am eclipse here in ca but we turned on the news about 930 av news wasn’t showing anything live …so I hit fox news by accident and the coverage pissed me off they had a crew at one of the gatherings and the guy live was having fun … the anchor might as well just said “damn hippies get off the lawn” and being a smartass in general so I went to cnn and they were great and informative …

I kinda don’t want to weight in here against the OP, but you’re fucking nuts …

For everybody who hasn’t seen a total solar eclipse … GO … the OP is just being a sour puss and doesn’t know what he’s talking about … it’s worth the time and trouble and crowds to see the event … there’s nothing more beautiful in the natural world, the ultimate expression of just how lucky humans are just to exist …

I watched with about thirty other people, only I had seen one before … all but a couple people were totally and overwhelmingly amazed … what a show !!! … just GO …

I just wish I’d heard about the CD idea to make my own, so I could have looked for a few seconds. Instead, I just saw the darkness, which was pretty cool–darker than clouds even here.

You do realize that I was pitting the media coverage, not the actual event, right? Or did you not get past the thread title? :dubious:

Of course I read your OP … and I still think you’re totally nuts … if anything the eclipse didn’t get enough news coverage … the Pope is visiting someone all the time, volcanoes are popping off every month or two … a total eclipse of the sun is way above and beyond those other two mundane events …

What? … did the coverage interfere with your tofu-puking anti-Trump rhetorical rants and you had to rely on memory to hate on everyone who disagrees with you … my heart bleeds for you … things are back to normal now … you can get jock itch from North Korea again …

The media did a great job … no one blamed Russian hackers …

Go fuck yourself, you fucking troll.

Yes, I scare 8-year-old children …what’s your point? …

It did.

OK, I will. But if I miss it on account of weather a SECOND time, after traveling a long distance, I will not be happy.

It was so totally awesome that even the media had it right.

They say you’re not supposed to look at a solar eclipse, so I suppose you could put a bag over its head before you start.

In Soviet Russia, eclipse fucks you
