@AlJean @MikeReissWriter @TheSimpsons I remember him from such films as "Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die!" and "Gladys, The Groovy Mule!". That pairing randomly pops into my head because of the way his countenance and inflection change. Phil was a master. Thanks for giving him Troy as a vessel!

@Joshstrangehill "Where'd you get [x] bucks? I want [x] bucks" whenever somebody tells me how much they spent on something.

And also, "I don't know." in Homer's "Mr. Burns" voice when, well, I don't know...

[Chad Harris @WaywardChad]

@jeff_byrd @Joshstrangehill YES! Complete with the voice.

@QuotesSimpsons1 Back in college, one of my coworkers on the student paper and I would do this bit at the start of every phone conversation, voice and all.

@Joshstrangehill "Oh, crap..." -- me earlier this week when it went from 80 to 40 here in the East. Lousy Smarch indeed...

@TheScottSnyder @Super70sSports Same! They were like gold. Both because they were rare and worth so much, and because they couldn't cut worth anything.

@CC_StormWatch People see videos like the VERY lucky crew during the 4/26/91 Kansas tornadoes and think it's safe. What they NEED to see are the heart wrenching photos from 5/3/99. :(

@christen_rexing Our district has chosen "closed" for tomorrow. I don't have kids, but for teacher friends and friends with kids, I'm happy on their behalf.

@ElRanchoOutlaw @ChiefFarewell And a living GRANDCHILD until May of last year!

@MissAshes92 You are a rockstar! Congrats, and best of luck on the next steps -- let the real fun begin!

@soulcircustweet Just flipping channels tonight on my cruise, and came across the video for the collaboration between @soulcircustweet & @realEddyRaven on the cover of "I Got Mexico", and it gave me more joy than should be legally possible. Thanks y'all!!

Today's anniversary of the tornado outbreak that included tornadoes near Andover and El Dorado, Kansas, is a good time for a reminder:

DON'T SHELTER UNDER AN OVERPASS!

That TV crew got lucky.

@bryanpackebush So far, I've added 2 books that are annual reads for me: "Destiny of the Republic" by Candace Millard about the death of President Garfield, and "Triangle" by Don von Drehle, about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.

#EMGTwitter folk: I'm trying to use up credits for free audiobooks. Are there any disaster-related books that you especially recommend the audiobook version? Histories, case studies especially, but any welcome, especially if they're permanent additions to your collection.

[Chad Harris @WaywardChad]

@KimDanek I own an autographed hardcover, otherwise, it would already be ordered! :D An essential, for sure!

[Chad Harris @WaywardChad]

@WickyDubs2 A bad take from him? Say it ain't so! 🙄
