First concern is for the safety of those in the affected area.

I love that joke. I love it so much I'm going to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant.
December 6th, 2017 at 8:14 PM ^
...that we have a few people who haven't watched 30 Rock on the blog.
Or maybe they have and don't like Tracy Morgan. Who knows.

Hey NashvilleBLUE--just got off the phone with Steve Bannon. He'd love to sponsor your Senate campaign.

Wild fires make for shitty TV, unlike hurricanes, which make for BAD ASS TV!!!
December 6th, 2017 at 6:16 PM ^
Make for great TV, if you are into visions of the apocalypse. I saw a firefighter I know on the morning news today. He was overwhelmed by the heat and had to take some time away from the action to cool down. The reporter interviewed him about it. I bet he takes some ribbing from the guys in his company for that. I won't kid him about it because those guys are legit heroes, but I bet he has a tough time living that down at the station.

That fake rain and wind they have the reporters stand in for hurricane coverage? It didn't go so well when they tried the equivalent for a wildfire.

Nice Lauer cameo for ol' time's sake too.

The fire near the 405 is a big deal. It's between UCLA and the Getty.
December 6th, 2017 at 5:47 PM ^
I don't believe UCLA is under any sort of direct threat here itself, but that area is just north of them. The viral picture of cars driving down "into the flames" as they approach the Getty includes the road sign that says 3 miles to Wilshire, which is the UCLA exit.
The whole area is paralyzed, and it's one of the busiest spots in the region (I've driven the Sepulveda pass dozens of times on different days and at different times of day and night and it is NEVER not jammed). This is the right move for UCLA even if the fire isn't a danger to them.
And it *is* a danger to a whole lot of people.

It depends obviously on the winds. If they change direction, it could get bad for UCLA. Tomorrow it's supposed to be worse in terms of wind speed. The air quality up there has to be horrible. I am about 10 miles south of that fire and it's like Beijing here.

Wind and topography make things pretty crazy.
December 6th, 2017 at 6:48 PM ^
I live about a mile and a half from UCLA in Westwood and we're not in threat of the fire (the Santa Ana winds blow from NE to SW), but the air quality is somewhat hazardous and the traffic is a nightmare coming in and out with the road closures.
Additionally, we obviously want to keep the roads as clear as possible for emergency personel and people evacuating.
UCLA originally was going to remain open, but immense pressure from students caused them to cancel afternoon classes.
The air is not visibly filled with smoke in most of West LA/Westwood, but the particulate matter is still high and hazardous.

I have EXTREMELY important stuff to do rather than go on this website right now, like spend time with my new girlfriend. You know I have a girlfriend? This blog has turned into a complete shithole lately. This is the least of my concerns, the first being my new girlfriend. Jesus, some people take college sports WAAAAAAAY too seriously. Not me. I NEVER take sports seriously. I have a new girlfriend now. Did you guys know I have a new girlfriend?

NoonKickoffs, Asymmetry, Woverine Devotee- Devotee, Wolverine Devotee's Girlfriend, and now Wolverine Devotee Devotee- Devotee. Each one has made me laugh. Yes, it's childish. But its also pretty damn funny.

Long-time reader. I know most of the trolls all the way back to McFarlin.
December 7th, 2017 at 12:27 AM ^
long time reader who decided to finally register just to cheer on internet bullying? that's what finally tipped the scales for you to register so you can comment?!

December 6th, 2017 at 5:41 PM ^
Even I find this obtuse.
December 6th, 2017 at 5:45 PM ^
That's saying a lot.
Now i just need to read a post where His Dudeness comes to Magnus' defense.

I had faith that if I kept reading enough of your posts, I would eventually read one that I could upvote.
Get busy living, or get busy dying.

Original.....NOT. Go troll elsewhere.
December 6th, 2017 at 5:58 PM ^
Is it trolling if s/he is using WD's OWN WORDS?
December 6th, 2017 at 5:45 PM ^
Ive found WD at times a tad bit annoyng or immature I also commend him on his thorough coverage of all things Michigan something nobody else on here does ..I think that mocking him like you did is just unfair..
December 6th, 2017 at 5:47 PM ^
I wasn't sure whether you are a troll or just a jerk, so I decided on both gifs....

You must be a really happy person with a very fulfilling life
December 6th, 2017 at 6:02 PM ^
Why do you have to bring a guy's personal life into it?
December 6th, 2017 at 6:24 PM ^
December 6th, 2017 at 7:11 PM ^
It's not inspired.
December 6th, 2017 at 7:46 PM ^
Good idea. Go back to jerking off to hentai.
December 6th, 2017 at 9:15 PM ^
December 7th, 2017 at 4:20 AM ^
Unlike all the negative assholes above I just want to provide some positive reinforcement and let you know that I appreciate your work and would like you to post more often. I didn't even know WD had a girlfriend and to be honest I didnt even think he liked girls, learn something new every day!.
December 7th, 2017 at 9:24 AM ^
How could you not know?!?!?!?!?!?!
Every post has had... "I have other things in my life"... he had a social media coming out party (after like 5 weeks of dating; WD is already picking out china patterns... where do you think the spoofer got the avatar pic?!?!?!?!
+1 for "I didn't know WD liked girls."
