Power Outages
Well, I woke up this morning, well this afternoon to be exact, to find out that we were out of power. This is the first time in a long time since we were out of power for more than five minutes. Anyways when is that last time you have a long power otutage and what did you do? I actually digged out my GBC and played Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages.
We have a generator to start everything up again.
the last long power outage I remember was several years ago during an ice storm. My parents had decided they were going to cook me a steak (gas stove) when the lights came back onxD
the last outage we had was a few weeks ago when this incredibly huge storm with tornados in it came up :O the lights didn't stay off very long though.
At least it's not like in the Philippines where they have to plan their power outages. :/
That's a lie. Well not really, that's why everybody here (who can afford it) has their own generator.Originally Posted by rubah
The last power outage we had was when something inexplicably went wrong with the line. It was at some time when it was still getting dark early, so the power guy was out there working in total darkness. And it was cold. Kinda felt bad for him. I don't remember what happened, though. It wasn't snowy or icey or anything. It just kind of happened.
I lost power once.
I was ousted not too long ago out of my native country for being an imbecilic dictator, but I returned with a highly trained squad of foreign mercenaries and took back was rightfully mine. I also created a monument of piled corpses to remind the people not to do it again.
Our electricity went out once. I murdered the electric company's president in return and instated a puppet in his place.
We have a few now and then, but we had an enormous one a few years ago on the North East coast. I think all of NY was down for about a day. It really sucked.
My light bulb had a power outage when it blew up a few weeks ago.
I later replaced it with a shiny new one.
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
I've never had one in this house, but we used to get them every couple of months in my old area.
Los Angeles had a city-wide power outage a couple months ago. And people freaked out. I didn't freak out though, I was happy cause classes were cancelled.
I almost ended my life when I couldn't use the computer for five minutes one time the power went out.
the longest was probably 15 min
Longest was a week, lucky as Hell that wasnt during the winter.
Owen made this sig. R.I.P.
