OH F!

Hang on Andrew.

Huge Earthquake in Fiji has alerted Australia of coming Tsunami.

My prayers to the Boss(Andrew, not Bruce).

Tsunami warnings were issued for Fiji and New Zealand after a massive earthquake measuring about 7.8 in magnitude shook the southern Pacific Ocean. The quake's epicenter was about 95 miles off the coast of Tonga, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Paula Chipman, an American tourist on Tonga, called it "a major, major shaker" and said it was impossible to assess the damage on the island because it was still dark.

Jesus. In other music news, Keith Richards, after his fall, is stuck in NZ set to get his head operated on.

Hang tight Andrew.

[Liz22562]

So far they have only recorded a 2 foot tsunami and no damage according to Yahoo News. The Tsunami alert in Hawaii was lifted.

Check in Andrew !

Geeze, what was Keith Richards doing up a tree?

[Red13JoePa]

Picking coconuts, of course, with Woodie.
It's not a penis colodis unless you got real nuts.


I'da been worried if his Marlboro had gone out.
Long live and God Bless The Human Riff.

Good God 13 ! You have me laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my chair !

[Red13JoePa]

The best part is, it's 100% true. He climed the tree w/ Woodie to get the coconuts.
Truth is stranger than fiction. Couldn't make that up if you tried.


Still verifying the validity of wether his vodka and sunkist landed upright in the sand.

[NealIsGod]

I'm surprised he didn't disintegrate into a pile of dust when he hit the ground.

He hit his head, it wasn't going to hurt anything... my guess it was after a long night of booze and micky mousing.

Yikes, fell out of a coconut tree, I was wondering why he was up there, then a Jet-Ski accident. This guy is incredible!!

Keith Richards is on the mend after injuring his melon while in pursuit of coconuts.


The Rolling Stones guitarist was released from the New Zealand hospital where he was admitted last week following a plunge from a palm tree at Fiji's exclusive Wakaya Club, according to published reports.


A spokeswoman for the band confirmed Richards had suffered a "mild concussion" but did not elaborate on how the injury occurred. She added that doctors said the rocker was making a "speedy recovery."


According to a report in New Zealand's Sunday Star-Times, Richards may not have done his bruised noggin any favors when, shortly after his accelerated descent from the palm, he supposedly mounted a Jet Ski and subsequently suffered another accident.


The rocker was initially treated in a Fiji hospital before being flown to Auckland's Ascot Hospital by his wife, Patti, for observation, the band's spokesperson said.


As of Tuesday, he was no longer listed as a patient, according to hospital duty manager Geoff Sparks.


"I can categorically confirm Mr. Richards...is no longer a patient in this hospital," Sparks told the Associated Press on Tuesday. "He has been discharged."


It was unclear where Richards was headed following his departure from the hospital.


He and the rest of the Stones are scheduled to kick off a European tour in Barcelona on May 27.

I heard the news on the radio while driving home and I pictured Andrew fighting the waters. Terrible visuals.Jesus.
Said a little prayer for you,Andrew.I hope it worked along with everyone elses.
Stay safe.

Thanks guys, appreciate the good vibes

All good here - like I said - nothing ever really happens here. Aside from 2 miners stuck down a hole for 10 days or so!

That's great, Andrew! Now spill the beans in the "Amazing" thread!

[Red13JoePa]

I thought we all realized Andrew and Keith are bulletproof. 'Drew's said as much beofre.

[Angiekay]

Speaking of Keith Richards, apparently this is more serious then thought:

A story in a U.K. tabloid says that Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards will have brain surgery today (Thursday, May 4th) in New Zealand. According to The Sun, Richards will go under the knife to relieve a brain hemorrhage, after falling out of a tree in Fiji last week and suffering what's been described as a concussion. The newspaper said that doctors originally wanted to let the injuries heal by themselves, but it's now been decided that Richards needs the surgery after all. The Sun quotes "a close pal" of the guitarist, who said, "Keith has decided to kick the booze and (cigarettes) for good." The guitarist was reportedly climbing a palm tree with fellow Stones guitarist Ron Wood at the time of the incident. There's been no official confirmation from the Rolling Stones about the surgery.


It's unknown whether the surgery will force a change in the band's European itinerary, which begins May 27th in Barcelona, but Richards is telling people he'll be ready to go.

[Red13JoePa]

They have to drill into his cranium to release some of the pressure (and so Keith has another hole to put a Camel in).

NO! Didn't you read this part:

I laughed for a good five minutes after I read that! Whatever Keith!

[Red13JoePa]

I would LOVE it if this DID rid him of the substances for good in all seriosness.

[NealIsGod]

Yeah, that kid needs to kick the vices before they do serious damage ot his health.

Then again, it's in all probability what is keeping him alive. If he quits, he'll be dead in a year.

[Big J]

Exactly. Blood doesnt run through the man's veins any more....bloody mary does.

[*Laura]

I am really sorry for what happened to poor Keith,but I had to laugh some. Maybe now it`s the right time for the band to make a fresh comeback as The Falling Stones.

There are others, but I like these two lines...

'...and that is why Keith Richards cannot be killed by conventional
weapons...'
and
'It's the end of time, and all that's left are roaches and
Keith Richards'

I heard this in a stand-up comedy routine:

"In a Nuclear war, only TWO THINGS will survive:

Bugs, and Keith Richards.

Seriously, can you just imagine it? **comic stumbles like Keith; squints eyes, and reacts to something-then says in thick British accent** "Where'd everybody GO?! I saw a bright light - thought we were ON!" "

What's the latest on the miners, Andrew?

Glad to hear, that once again, just like abitaman, you're safe.
