Cool Memories by Quincy Potts

INSTRUCTIONS: Examine how a contemporary historical event either did not happen or was our fantasy.

In August of 2003 there is thought to have been the largest blackout in North American history, this is a lie. This blackout was said to have swept across the Northeast portion of the United States and on up into Ontario. 50 million people were said to have been affected by this event. But where are those millions of people now? Have you seen any? No you haven't because it never happened!

In the first hours following the so called "event" No one could even get their story straight. Jean Chrétien the Canadian Prime Minister at the time said the event was caused by a lightning strike in New York at the same time that George Pataki claimed that it was Ontario's fault! Canada couldn't even get it's story as straight as it's Defense Minister, John McCallum! They also blamed a nuclear plant in Pennsylvania of being the cause! Blaming a nuclear plant of malfunctioning at the same time as a lightning strike spells conspiracy to me. Reject these Canadian lies!

I myself was in the woods at the time...in Northern Minnesota, but I can tell you that my flashlight never went out! Throw off the lies that the reporters on television tell you and watch mythbusters or something. Those guys are legit.

Before

Before

This is supposedly what it looked like before the event. Those white spots represent light...apparently. Awfully cloud-shaped for my liking.


After!

After!

After the clouds are just moved a bit! And besides who believes satellites these days anyways. Am I really suppose to believe that there are floating landmasses just off of Maine! Lies I tell you.

"Canada Couldn't even get it's story straight as it's Defense Minister, John McCallum"

is there supposed to be more to this sentence, or is "as straight as the Canadian Defense Minister, John McCallum" a trope with which I am unfamiliar?

Vote, for this line, which if it's the joke I'm thinking of, is worthy of it.

"Couldn't even get it's story straight as it's Defense Minister, John McCallum"

I'm guessing that John McCallum is either Corrupt or homosexual.

Or both.

I agree it's fishy. I was in NYC when it happened, and as soon as the shit went down i was locked in a subway car for over an hour under 51st Ave. Was there something going on up there I wasn't supposed to see?
What were they hiding?
Anyway, we decided it would be nice to light candles, so we didn't verify whether the power was really out. The next morning all the signs in times square were turned off, i guess they were conserving energy. it's not like there was anyone in the streets to see them, because all the stores were closed. bah!

Sorry about that. Exposing the lies of the government is hard to do late in the night on little sleep. Fixed now!
