Here, let me rephrase that for you:

"Mike wants you to take off your pants."

Clearer?

Or, it sounds more like a rallying cry.

PANTS ARE EVIL!
DOWN WITH PANTS!
PANTS ARE EVIL!

Yes, but equally disturbing. About 4.3 on the ickier scale.

There is nothing wrong about not wearing pants. In fact I'm not wearing pants.

Yeah, but 9000 treadwear tires from 1977 squeak while standing still all the time. (YOUR GF'S CAR IS OLD! )

Poor kitty(ies).

The 4.2 shook open cabinet doors and drawers, and skewed one picture on the wall, up here. Rachel ran outside and saw the house moving.

I was in my office during the 3:55pm one, it made my wall creak barely, and I felt it in my stomach.

Cory, just put a 4g63 in it.

I felt it.

I dunno what weird connection I have with earthquakes, but I think they are cool. I now they are super dangerous and deadly but I think the little ones are fun.

Maybe it has something to do with being born during the 1989 quake in San Francisco?

I was born up here in Reno, but still was during it...

Video by the USGS http://youtube.com/watch?v=6GfHkRNnZDE 7.1 at the epicenter.

Whoa. I fell asleep in my recliner downstairs and a good little shake woke me up, rattled the glasses on the coffee table and rattled the entertainment center cabinets. Was probably around 1:50 nothing serious but it was the first time I have ever felt one around here, or ever for that matter.

Woke up to a 3.1 at 1:42AM This Morning. This isn't funny, I am actually becoming very worried! Not to mention the 4 last afternoon and evening. A 4.1 at 3:47pm, a 3.0 directly after, a 4.2 8 min. later, and topped off by a 3.3 at 6pm.

Same here. In fact, despite growing up in california I have only felt 2 in my entire life- Loma Prieta in 1989, and one a few years ago at Stead during an autocorss, it was like a 3.0 or something.
