    The last time the meteors came, we thought the sky was on fire. Naturally, we blamed the Irish. We hanged more than a few.

    I blame Brian Cowen. He also caused that volcano in Iceland too.

    The end is nigh, its all over. Leave all your valuables outside your doors, you won't need them where you're going.

    I might just hang around outside your houses though hee hee

    Was this anywhere near Jarvis Street? There was a Street Fighter tournament on upstairs in XGC, that might be it.
