Wimbledon Station Bible Panic

I just saw this story on the BBC news site. I think I would have evacuated too if some creepy guy started reading the bible and talking about death. There's been so many terrorist attacks in Britain this year, no wonder the passengers weren't taking any chances. Luckily no one was hurt.

Yeah, I can definitely see why that would've creeped people out... at least nothing bad happened.

It generally takes a lot to freak out Londoners, especially when commuting by public transport (source: I was born and grew up in London, and have traveled a lot through the city by public transport even after I moved away).  Someone trying to proselytise would by met by people shuffling away, moving into the next carriage etc (much as if they were being asked for cash). 

And SouthWest trains have such a bad service that rush-hour commuters willingly stopping one of their trains is unthinkable, unless they were genuinely scared for their lives.  I can pretty much guarantee this isn't a case of 'snowflakes' unwilling to hear the word of God - I would bet serious cash he was legitimately scary, and I'd love to see the in-train CCTV of what happened.

Things like this make me feel like more of a Hobbit. I want to stay in my quiet hobbit hole and eat second breakfast in peace and imagined safety.

I think after everything that's happened in London that would've made me evacuate the train car too. If it had happened here in Orlando I would have gotten the hell out of dodge. You live on a hair trigger after something happens. Now I'd leave no matter where I was and I'd want to drag everybody with me.

*shudders* creepy.

It might have made me simply evacuate, in general.  

Anything like this is scary these days. We all know that there is no longer such a thing as a safe place.

      I hate these winds. They are absolutely HOWLING here in SoCal. Not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight because I'm so afraid we'll get sudden evacuation orders the way we did with the Woolsey fire in 2018. There's no way of knowing when and where a fire might crop up and once it does, there's no containing it in these winds. I'm praying for the safety of our brave firefighters. My heart is with everyone in the Pacific Palisades and in Eaton Canyon near Pasadena.

      The world doesn't need more people. If people want to have children, that's fine, but there is no reason we have to keep having more people.

      Norovirus sucks, and it's beyond comprehension that donald fucking trump will be president again in less than two weeks. I can't see a light at the end of either tunnel. 😭🤬🤮

      Winter snack: crispy chickpeas
      Preheat oven to 400 F. Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas, then toss in olive oil and whatever spices you like. I use fried chili crisp. Cook for 15 minutes, stir, another 15 minutes, stir, repeat until they're crispy and delicious. Good as a snack, on salads, etc.
      I am sharing my super secret chili crisp source just because I love you guys:

      Serious question: is there anything men hate more than a woman's strongly held opinion?

      Happy New Year, all you amazing people! I just saw a (possibly joking) tradition online called Yule Boasting.

      My quick text version:
      i will begin 2025 by distilling a barrel full of tequila from the agave plants in my yard, assisted by george clooney, who admires me greatly and will be sad and heartbroken when my plan moves ahead without further human assistance.
      sky-clad, i will find my familiar, a malevolently clever curve-billed thrasher named Willie Wildman. together we will roam my neighborhood, putting together an animal army consisting of a coyote pack, a squadron of javelinas, and my local great horned owl pair, perseverance and ingenuity.
      we will all consume mass quantities of tequila, paint our faces blue, and set out on yucca broomsticks to reach our nation's capitol.
      we will swoop down on DC, screaming and howling, occupying first the capitol and then the white house, where we will become co-presidents and replace congress with the yacht-sinking orcas of the mediterranean. AND EVERYONE WILL FUCKING REJOICE.

      It's crazy to think that it has already been 25 years since we were worried about what would happen when the calendars would switch over to Y2K.
