We get a lot of tornados, but that doesn't make them any more okay.
This one got fairly close to use. I had the kiddo in his bike helmet wrapped up in the bathroom closet. We are fine. I am hearing about a few deaths in the area. And we are apparently still under a warning? But no one tells me anything.
Here is the pictures I have found so far:

I know that would be the only thing....like 40 wives would be a little pricey.....plus like coming home from work everyday would be hell...actually I take back everything I said, I was married to one woman once upon a time and I could barely stand that. In fairness it was a 10 years ago and while I was in the Navy and she was not the nicest person....

Wow, I love Hank, I do, and I met him briefly in October and he was as nice as any one I have ever met---BUT--there was a time when he just hit and/or kicked people that pissed him off. Do these people not understand that? Because he's a strong dude.
Anyway, that chick was a bitch, and I hope her feelings were hurt. I don't understand the idea behind cat calling and laughing very publically at someone and then being shocked that they confronted you about it--as though a man like Henry Rollins is going to buy her bullshit act. Blah.
Anyway...I love that video, thanks for sharing.

What’s your favorite smell?
The way the air smells right before a storm. Either that or anything baking that contains the following: Apples, Cinnamon.
Which kind of Fritos do you like best?
Just the regular kind. I know, I'm so dull.
Favorite thing made green for St. Patrick’s Day?
Baked goods.
If vegetarians love animals so much, why do they eat all their food?
They want us to eat them.
What do you believe is the greatest unsolved mystery of all?
Oh man there are so many. The pyramids, the origin of the universe, the bloop, sasquatch, the Jersey Devil, the Zodiac Killer, Jack the Ripper, extraterrestrial life, how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. I can't choose just one.
What is your first memory about reading?
I guess my first important memory about reading was being young and powering through Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. I read plenty before that, but it wasn't until I discovered these books that I really started to enjoy reading, and would eventually move on to other books.

I've never gotten to meet him, but I've seen his spoken word live and I've seen footage of his concerts. The second thing I think when I see him (right after, "Hey, that Henry Rollins!") is, "I would not want that guy to punch me in the face." Because that's the kind of thing he used to do for fun.
And he has no neck. Punching people who are neck-less tends to work out less well than punching people who are neck...ful.

Utah--seriously, even in his fifties he is a big, musle bound dude, and he's got the ass kicking experience, so I feel like my main goal if I ever meet him again will be "Don't do anything to piss him off". The first time I met him I was just a fucking mess. It was the first time I had met an author who's work had really changed me and I promised myself I'd SAY that. And so I was awkward and he was awkward, and then I moved on and he continued having interesting, lively conversations with everyone else that wasn't a mess.
