You're Blackout experience

wut was you're blackout of '03 experience, tell me about it, i was 1/4 of a mile from the NJ side of the Lincoln Tunnel when it happened(good thing I had Xenon HID lights) and it was dark, all that was illuminated b4 my headlights were my dash lights and tachometer lights, then i drove 2 my cousin's house in weehawken, NJ and saw the sun set, and New York looked like a desserted island, all u saw were head lights, sum shadows of ppl, and siren lights from teh Port Authority. so it was freaky, if you've seen Terminator three, that probably came in mind of the SkyNet super-virus, cuz thats wut popped up, then came terrorism, then came the thought of sutpid americans and their human errors(im american too, its just a joke)

i was just finishing up eating lunch at work and bam, all the lights went out, it sucked alot. after i realsied it wasnt just my crappy job, we all just turned on the radio and found out what was happening.

i ended up sleeping in just my boxers, damn near sweating to death, until my power came on the next day at 6:30am.

Meh.. I actully really enjoyed it. It oppened my eyes to being happy without technology. Just good old fun with friends and family. I think we should stop the blame game, get it fixed, and forget about it.. because i dont want to hear about it. It happened.. so what

Once upon a time....i was sitting on the computer....looking through the threads on AF.....and BAM.......the lights go out......i thought it was just a reset that happens once every often.......but it stayed off........and i was getting worried........so i sat down.....and me and my mother started to play a game of Cards......when we had been through about 12 games......we got a call from my uncle....telling us that the power was down....in most areas...........so after that we sat around the house and played cards........i went to sleep at 9:00........and woke up at 3:12.......to hear the Fire Alarm resetting.......which then alerted me the power was back up.......so i went back to sleep........and woke up the following day to see a new AF........and i was Amazed.......

The End

:iagree:...I think everyone needs to stfu and stop pointing fingers, I mean US is blaming canada and canada is blamin the US..who cares who did it or who dident we need to put our minds togather find a solution turn the other cheek and go on with buisness and usual just my :2cents:

i agree also, but the US and canada cant do that, theres always a blame politically. sumones always looking for an answer to everything when there always isnt. its for the safety of national security, to show a powerful nation, yet u should see sumtimes how nations can get soo stubborn

Thats a story? thats nothing compared to being stuck in a dark factory for 12 hours and then roughing your way thru the world for the rest

Okay, flame me for this response but whatever.

That's just fucking stupid Desi. It looks stupid, is fucking annoying to read, and simply makes you look like a fuckwit. USE YOUR FUCKING SPACE BAR AND PERIOD ONCE AND THATS IT. In other terms CUT IT OUT BECAUSE IT IS FUCKING ANNOYING.

This has been a public service announcement.

jesus christ calm down, come back down to earth. Holy shit, if it bothers you that much i'll stop. You coulda just asked.

i have to agree with Susan. if that keeps up, then you'll be on my "ignore" list in no time. making a signature thing that's funny? go right ahead. making a signature thing, like the "1", that's a bit annoying but you start to over-look it after a while? fine. making a signature thing that affects every aspect of how your posts sound, look, what meaning is conveyed by them, what your posts say about you, and is just generally FUCKING ANNOYING? FUCK NO!

so please, stop it. for the good of AF. :grinyes:

I live in NH, but didn't notice anything. Apparently we weren't hassled this far north? I didn't even know there was a blackout until people started talking about it. And there is finger pointing going on as to whose fault it was? Who cares. If it's so important to find a target for blame, let's all just drop nukes and fire bombs on ourselves at the same time, then no one can really point fingers. Blech. 5 million years of evolution and so much of mankind still settles its disputes by throwing blame around, and fighting about it- like little children. Wah wah wah.

Grow up.

i have to agree with Susan. if that keeps up, then you'll be on my "ignore" list in no time.

Is that like the list that Santa checks twice? No wait, come to think of it he must not check it at all.

Didn't they say the lines in Ohio caused it? In that case...Antonio :nono:



:p

My entire blackout experience consisted of sitting on the couch, watching TV, playing on the net (with my reverse cycle air conditioner on) and most of all LAUGHING MY ASS OFF AT YOU GUYS!
:naughty:

:p

was anxiousley waiting for you to say something like that.

the power went out while i was still at work. i had to do the shift until 6, but because of the power going out, i was at work until 7:30. the reason some of the kids stay until 6 is because their parents work in the city or simply cannot get out any earlier. because of the power, the traffic was backed up and the parents took alot longer to get there to pick up the kids. luckily, the extra time was added to my pay-check. also, friday i showed up at 8AM to find my supervisor there. we were turning all the kids around and sending them home, which meant on my last day of work for this summer, i only had to work until 11 (with no kids, just cleaning up the site) and got paid for a full day! :rofl:

Well Quebec had power, it took me 3 HOURS TO GET BEER and I'm 30 mintues from the border, WTF.

Black out?

Those of us living in civilised first world countries don't suffer from such third world problems. :rofl: :rofl:

Pussys, all you who live north of Wellington.

Did I ever tell the story about the time I was dropped out in the Rangipo desert in the middle of winter, with only a lioncloth, a pocket knife and my wits? Now that was no pussy shit.

Hey man, at least you had a loincloth.

So the Great Auckland Power Line Crisis was........... :tongue:

Auckland isnt civilised.

Hey man, at least you had a loincloth.

But did you hunt down, skin and cook (by making a rubbing two sticks together fire) a HUGE moa, with only your bare hands and a cunning trap?

Didnt think so. :shakehead

Auckland isnt civilised.


Exactly!

And I was never affected by it :tongue:

Nah, I begged a free feed at KFC then used the box as a loincloth.

Were you dropped in the middle of NaeNae or something? If so, I bow before you. Mine was pussy compared to that.

I mean, in NaeNae, unarmed, and naked! :eek2:

will u people stop it plz, if u wanna tlak about this then create a new thread, i'm talkin about the people who were affected by the blackout of '03, and what their experience was, not to argue whether sumone is a pussy or not, or living in civilized or non-civilized areas of any country 'ight?

Look, just because a bunch of people got stuck on the train doesnt mean we cant talk about how the average American couldnt survive stuck in the wilderness of Walmart.

I can tell more No Shit stories, if that makes you feel any better?

ok jus 4get it, any of u get stuck in a subway or on a train in the middle of nowhere during the blackout?

Yo yo,

I's will 4get it, if you tell me what a trai is.

I was so scared...


















And then I remembered that I was 3000 miles away from it all. :redface:

What I don't get is the retards who abandoned their cars in the middle of the freeway and started walking...
Yeah, traffic isn't moving fast enough, so lets abandon out cars..

They probably thought their cars would stop working because power died...

My blackout experience:

I was visiting my cousin in Ohio. We were out hunting squirrels. I saw this one squirrel running across a tree branch, and I aimed for him with my shotgun. He ran out onto an electrical wire of some sort, so I let go with both barrels. I missed the darned squirrel. The stupid electrical wire came cascading down, and this big transformer tower next to it started arking and flaming, with big sparks...so we got out of there.

Then we get home, and the power's out! And we hear on the radio the power is out throughout the whole northeast!

Damn Canadians!

wow... you had no power for a couple days... most people in the world go without power for their entire lives. so:

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................The EndWow, simply stunning. It's amazing that key still works.
