How about that emergency test

[papsrus]

I was watching at 2 p.m. and the much-hyped nationwide "test" consisted of switching me over to a CSPAN interview with Rick Santorum.

Yeah that's a fail.

So I guess at this point we don't have a nationwide emergency broadcast system. ... maybe we should keep this quiet.

I got a phone call that I let my machine get. Anybody else get that call?

[papsrus]

Damn. They didn't call me.

Guess I'd better prepare to fend for myself. ...

[JSngry]

You think they called me because they know where I am?

my tv i was set to espn (thru time-warner) to dvr the sequence. when i turned the tv on 5 hours later, the dvr had locked up, and the cable box had locked up solid.

rebooting didn't work.

finally, i had to unplug the devices, reboot them, and wait 25 minutes for them to reset.

half the broadcast stations didn't close down.

if i want breaking news lightening fast, i turn to twitter.

I crawled under my desk, but then nobody gave me the all clear to come out. I missed dinner because of it!

I didn't get it either. Couldn't be nationwide.

You didn't miss much. It was leftovers.

I will be mortified if I, a grown man, learn about the outbreak of WWIII on something called a Tweet.

Hugo "No man can stop me now" Chavez killed. Dominos fall. North and south call alignments. Intercontinental ballistic missiles on the way!
