Earthquake!!!

Don't you guys think it would be amazing to first hand see what nature is creating, some with such force like a tornado. I am getting pumped up in my cubicle just thinking about it right now.

i've been on the outer edge of a small tornado and NEVER saw the funnel for the rain, lightening, hail and arcing power lines.
i've also ridden out a hurricane. i have no interest in doing either again.

Do you are telling me a girl stripping on the TV is the same as in real life?

Please....

Strippers dont kill people and ruin peoples homes and livelihood. Wait....Some do....I feel ya on the adrenaline rush, I just wouldnt want to be anywhere near the core of these storms, getting hit with cows, hail balls and stoplights and such. Ask Helen Hunt, I mean Jo, its a harrowing situation to be in.

PS. I hate strippers, hooks and escorts...Something about them getting payed to perform just makes for a soft peter.....More of the next-door housewife kind of guy, as Im sure we all are.

I love strippers, probably one of my favorite types of human beings, as long as they are female, all the way female

So you are saying that you prefer to fool around with married women...well i guess that could be another way of putting yourself in harms way!

Was talking about in an attraction sense. Love those soccer moms. I don't do to others what I wouldnt done to myself. I, admittedly, cheated on my then girlfriend (now fiancee), 2 years ago. Made me feel like crap to see how much it broke her up when I told her. After that, my conscience kicked in, and would never elevate past flirtation.

I should of put a smiley face in my above post.... was just a little (I know I know damn little) attempt at levity.

get out of your cubicle and imagine having to go outside (to get to my basement, no interior doors) no TV or radio and the air horns going off at 2 in the morning, total darkness outside and all you can hear is the wind, knowing that if it hits anywhere nearby you are totaly, completely f*cked....and enjoy the water that is pouring in, onto the floor through the hundred year old limestone walls. And don't forget to save the dogs.

Again, alot of people are missing the point here. What you are describing is not a controlled environment. And while I understand that you can not control a tornado, what I want to do is chase the darn things and get as close as I can, without endangering myself. It is somewhat controlled.

It isn't like I am going to see a tornado, run straight at it and maybe want to play catch with someone right in front of it, just would like to experience the raw power/sounds that it provides, without endangering myself.

not trying to argue with you here Tom, but I think you are missing the point somewhat.
Since I have lived in my current location there have been 2 tornados that have touched down within 5 miles of me....they don't conveniently happen during the day so you can watch and see what's happening...and they destroy lives and property.
The last one killed a whole bunch of animals that were trapped when the barn they were in fell on them....
while it may be a thrill to see one rip through a corn field, you have to consider that it just ruined someone's crop (ie earnings) for the year....they are never without consequence.

I understand that part, 100%. And if tornado's could be prevented, I would be all for it, but I doubt nature would allow that from happening.

You're not going to like this, but would you like to be up close with Ted Bundy..or John Wayne Gacy? It's a stretch, but I don't get the fascination with being up close and personal with "things" that kill and destroy. Neither can be prevented...
I understand the "nature's fury" thing but how would you feel if you chased a tornado into a town and it flattened everything and killed hundreds? Would that rush still be there?

Now...have a nice weekend

You are out of mind comparing that stuff.

I would feel horrible if that happened for the people that it effected, but it isn't like I could control it. I couldn't stand in front of it and say "STOP NOW"

I would love to go to africa and drive around in one of those humvees around lions, tigers, rhinos, giraffes, elephants, those things kill also. but they are controlled to a point

scavs, i understand the rush of seeing one but hoping for one just to get that thrill is a bit much.
