The best things about tidal waves

…Besides that Czech übermodel, I mean.

The best thing, so far, about this wave has been CNN. Their anchor just called pedophile-haunt, Phuket, "Fuck It". Scouts honor.

There are absolutely no good things about that tsunami. Not even a CNN anchor pronouncing an island's name wrong.

Don't be a downer.

Agreed. We got back from Phuket on the 20th. Having seen how remote some of the outer islands are, I think it will be weeks before Thailand is able to get an accurate estimate of the number of casualties.

Yeah, 80,000+ dead shouldn't inspire bathroom humor, even from the likes of some on this board.

I just can't wait for the movie. Do you think she hears a KA-CHING sound when the cash register in her mind turns over?

I thought I remembered someone asking about Phuket a while back. Glad you're safe.

A co-worker friend left for Sri Lanka for a month's stay. Fortunately, she was inland when the tsunami hit the coasts. Before I received word she was OK, I was a nervous wreck. I can't even imagine what others are going through who haven't received word on their loved ones' whereabouts.

Ok, get a grip everyone. He was trying to find a positive with all this negativity. On a more positive note, with our luck, maybe some of the dead were terrorists.

Sometimes, there isn't a positive to be found.

well, they weren't all American, so i bet most of them were terrorists.

The best thing about tidal waves is the disaster movie: potential

Glad to hear your friend's ok. It's so hard to even imagine how one disaster can claim so many lives without warning.

I was planning on being in Phuket when I was in Thailand in November, but we went to Ko Samui and Khao Sok instead … really really freaky though, seeing all those homemade videos on the news …

Dead terrorists sounds pretty positive to me?

On the subject of terrorists, did you all hear about the massive bank robbery in Belfast? It's now reported that the IRA cowards did it to fund "retirement plans" for them when this so called peace deal goes into effect :D …also, part fo the peace deal is for the IRA to "promise" not to participate in any illegal activity. I thought being a member of a terrorist organization a criminal act in itself?

So, if "phuket" is proununced Pukett, is Phi Phi pronounced Pee Pee?

The asian wave sure puts the mexican wave to shame….okay that's my one and only sick joke on the subject.

I was in Colombo Sri Lanka and Maylasia. It was over 20 years ago, but still gave me the eebie jeebies watching the destruction on telly. Maylasia did nothing for me to be honest, but I loved Colombo…I felt like David Niven sat in a tea-room in the city centre, sipping tea while talking to the waiter about cricket.

Where did the beasties go to?
