    Fire's already out.

    Likely caused by the dropping water levels. One of the intakes probably ran dry and the turbine went kablooie.

    (I just made all that up, BTW.)

    Man, I always forget, Jimmy was plucky and brave, but dumb as a bag of hammers.

    I just figured the buttplug in Herbert's corpse finally unlodged and released the decomp. I know it's been a while but that guy's sphincter was clenched tighter than a Scotsman when it's his turn to get the drinks.

    "You're safe here son". Rock slide starts, ground opens up beneath his feet, Lois Lane gets crushed to death in her car when in falls into the ground.

    Superman... more like Super Asshole.
