1:35a - Haven't we seen janusdoa before? I can't remember...
Wank on APoD (Astronomy Picture of the Day).

Satellite image of Katrina just before landfall was Sunday's image. Of course, janusdoa makes the prerequisite "People are stupid for living there"-type comment. People respond, many point out that his journal information reveals him as living in California - a state known for containing an active fault line.

A little bit down, janusdoa and gridlore get into it, referencing things from each other's personal journals.

I'm in there, but I don't wank (at least, I don't think so). At the time, I didn't know janusdoa and gridlore were enjoying each other's company - now I'd pretty much just call troll.

It's not huge, but I thought the personal insults were interesting enough.

11:47a - First post
As one might expect, the posts in the LJ community on New Orleans focuses on trying to find missing friends and family and suggestions on how to help the victims.
Except for [info]brainlesswonder. A more appropriate name there never was.

He wants a bottle of flood water, because "I collect that type of thing." He also suggests that people could bottle the flood water and put it up for sale on ebay and makes lots of money.

Predicatably, the rest of the community explodes into Oh NOES how heartless can you be to take advantage of the situation?

The wank flies at How could you?.

My favorite comment was from [info]sweetdragon. who says, "Tell you what. Come to New Orleans with a big jug, and we'll hold you down underwater for as long as we can. You can get all the water you want then."

EDIT: I acknowledge this is a troll, but it's still pretty bad to troll on a community that is just trying to help in the midst of a disaster. That's just cold.

2:35p - Don't mess with Texas, Senor!
Metaquotes is too easy but I was surprised at how quickly this wank flared up.

[info]marseverlasting posts a funny, but nowhere near PC, quote from [info]duia about New Orleans refugees being welcome to swim to Houston for shelter. (Since most of the population swam there anyway. Badum CHING!) Which brings [info]marieb to the rescue of all things historic, hispanic and righteous!!1

We don' need no stinkin' boats.
