Okay, so we recently got hit by a massive blizzard that doubled the amount of snow on the ground. Because of this, everyone's shitting frisbees and freaking out that the supposed catastrophe that is 2012 (the year, not the movie, although 2012 was a catastrophe in its own right) came early.
Some people even started referring to this as "Snowmageddon 2011." Those people are what I like to call "stupid."
That's right. I have judged each and every single moron and equally stupid media outlet who has referred to this blizzard as "Snowmageddon."
In case you hadn't realized, we get a massive blizzard like this every year, and it used to be worse years ago. So, if this is a new thing for you, you either must be from a different part of America or the world that never has snow, too young to remember the terrible snow storms that plagued Michigan and the midwest, and/or have really, really, really bad memory loss. If so, the remedy for your madness/stupidity/naivety is to listen to someone who actually experienced it. That way you know not to go completely batshit insane when the snow hits.
The night before the blizzard, I went to the grocery store to buy dinner and the place was a mad house. People were stocking up on bread, canned goods, milk, eggs, etc.. I halfway wanted to ask one of the more frantic customers if the "Ruskies were making the final push into the homeland," just to see what would happen.
Either way, welcome to Michigan. It's cold here. It snows here. We are not living a Robert Frost poem where the world will end in ice.
It will end in fire.
