6. It could be nothing - could be the steam pipes or anything.
Sh*t happens all the time in New York. Was just wondering if it's on the news. Friend called to say her friend's building was evacuated.

Really. Calm down. We don't even know what it was yet. It could have been explosive diarrhea for all we know.

24. What, nobody saw Repo Man?
Ever been to Utah? Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have them, too.

28. You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?
Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

14. Probably just gas in the sewers combusting
It causes a lot of false alarms. Nothing to worry about, happens in big cities all the time.

35. Nah, that can't be it.
Since you never see more than 6 Freepers at one of their "rallies", that really wouldn't be too loud if they were farting.

Though "Five Freepers Farting" would fit nicely into "12 Days of Fitzmas" :evilgrin:

36. If they were, they'll need a new drummer immediately
Hell, it's NYC. There's gotta be a drummer somewhere nearby. Maybe one with a flameproof suit.

23. Sitting in an office overlooking Madison & 42nd right now
I just went and peeked out the window and I don't see any unusual commotion for the area. NYC does tend to go 'boom!' randomly--there are a lot of old pipes and wires underground! :hi:

32. One of my best friends works in the building on that corner.
She's not answering, but that's not abnormal.
