I pit Bardarbunga. With your [earthquakes](http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/08/27/big-earthquakes-indicate-volcanic-activity-underground) and your [giant ass cracks in the ice](http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/08/27/possible-eruption-under-bardarbunga). [You blow up](http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/08/27/hard-explain-what-happened-if-not-caused-eruption), then fuck you. You don’t ever get to that point, fuck you for the suspense. I’ve fucking had it with this shit. You can possibly shut down most of the NH air traffic, change the climate, turning the next winter into a nightmare beyond imagining, or just keep us all in suspense. I would say go to hell, but that would sort of be impossible, since you are a goddamn hole right into hell. Also I heard that if you really blow hard, it might wake me up from the goddamn boom. Calm the fuck down there big boy. Get a grip. ---

Unless this turns into a rift fissure eruption, then all bets are off. The last eruption like that caused a bitter winter of 1783-1784 where the Mississippi River froze all the way to New Orleans. ---

It’s not **Iceland’s** fault she has bad acne, and you’re a terrible person, **FX** , for teasing her about it.

> [@FXMastermind](#): > > You can possibly shut down most of the NH air traffic, change the climate, turning the next winter into a nightmare beyond imagining, or just keep us all in suspense. Just don’t bitch about global warming anymore then. Volcanic particulates and sulfur compounds are some of the very most potent anti-greenhouse effect things out there. We could probably stand a few more Icelandic volcano eruptions or Mt. Pinatubo type eruptions to be honest. ---
