Said geologist is obviously a shill for BIG GAS.

In reality, they should just sink a well into both me and @thintoast

 

[Amstel]

You're both bottoms?

ewwww.

 

[thintoast]

Without even reading that, I'm going to guess the geologist is saying that the fault all of a sudden became active and since it's occurring on a fault line and NOT where the fracking is happening it's obviously not the result of fracking.

Just like the collection of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere don't contribute to climate change.

 

[Jehannum]

ewwww.

We're definitely both almost as gaseous as you are.

Drill my pipeline and you're sure to find black gold.

Stop saying logical things

Stop saying logical things

Saying those words to me has to hurt your brain a little, doesn't it?

According to a new USGS report Oklahoma has a 1 in 8 chance of damaging quakes in 2016, surpassing California as the state with the highest probability.

As if dealing with tornadoes and ice storms isn't enough.

 

[thintoast]

It's oklahomo. Would we really be losing anything if the whole state just kind of crumbled to bits by a series of earthquakes and then got swept away by gods vacuum?

 

[Peppers]

If we lose Oklahoma where would all the tornados go?

 

[thintoast]

I hear Arkansas has a lot of trash that needs to be picked up.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

If we lose Oklahoma where would all the tornados go?

Kansas.

We could make a little $ if we just called Oklahoma an amusement ride & sold tickets. Don't the carneys already live there?

IDK, they're making some pretty good dough out here with their casinos and shit.

 

[thintoast]

And all the white people that go into the gift shop and buy the headdress with the feathers and beads and shit and stumble out in a drunken stupor yelling "lloook at mmmeeeeee i'mmm a indian".

arkansas is mountainous, oklahoma is just a flat wasteland. it's a seriously depressing place to be.
