  1. In other unrelated news, Mansbridge comes down with 24hr laryngitis?
    See, I used a question mark, makes it all good, eh?
    (Btw, this volcano reminds me of when Mt. St. Helen’s blew up, ash and dust all over Canada.)

  2. Eyjafjallajokull: Icelandic for, “And you insignificant feckwits in that little global warming scam of yours think YOU can influence climate?!?”

  3. Hopefully the Icelandic government takes the proper steps and makes the investments to repair this glacier after the volcano settles.

  4. Captain Slizuki to the rescue? It’s a bird, it’s a plane,…no it’s not stupid. It’s just another load of flatulence spewing over the land.

  5. It is her bigger sister we have to worry about. Katla in it’s last eruption produced massive amounts of sulfer dioxide causing a large loss of life in Europe due to food production loss. Katla tends to erupt about 2 years after here little sister.

  6. BBC world news seems to have got the pronunciation right!
    I’m impressed at how the jet stream has helped to dump this on Britain …. a lot of cold arctic air and smelly dirt ….. nice.

  7. Let’s see how whole-word-reading taught students deal with that one! ‘Though even for the “Fun with Phonics” crowd it’s a bit of a task.

  8. You think the Brits might charge the Icelanders with terrorism, again? A volcano has as much to do with it as banksters manipulations.
    Perhaps rounding up the 3 dozen or so (unnamed, so far) people that screwed the Icelandic economy, (some of whom are in England with their stolen wealth intact) and offering a sacrifice to the volcano would help?

  9. “It’s also safe to say Iceland used up all it’s carbon credits.” Posted by: ChrisinMB at April 15, 2010 5:15 PM
    Well Chrisin, I think Iceland should earn carbon credits as the the ash(if enough is generated) will trigger a global cooling and give the polar bears a temporary reprieve.

  10. Global warming caused the ice sheet to melt which allowed the volcano to blow. Global warming causes volcanoes. You read it here first.

  11. Heh, one of the talking heads on CNBC today mused how long it would be to clean up the mess left by the eruption. Anyone up for magma mopping?

  12. Maybe we are witnessing the beginning of a massive eruption and if so, that will have dire consequences.

  13. The obvious reason for the volcano outburst is that global warming weakened the ice sheet holding the lava in check. It’s surprising AGWhore hasn’t surfaced with a suitable press release and prospectus.

    I can spot a Canadian Geographic writer a mile away…

  15. Sgt Lejaune, Shhhh.
    Next thing you know some post secondary “student” will write a paper based on your one remark and next thing you know it’ll be an accepted grant avenue er, tax generating theory of AGW.

  16. Well get used to it because it’s gonna blow ash for a hundred years and end life as we knew it on earth. Or was that the History Channel thingie about what if the sun blew a rod?
    Anyway, here’s how you say it:
    Aye, a feckin joker
    except you say yoker to sound Icelandic.
    Say feckin as if you are vomiting herring.

    You and Danny Glover are hilarious.

  18. Let’s just hope Ahmadinjehad doesn’t show up.
    Ah, my dinner jacket, there’s a feckin joker.

  19. Peter O’- Very good! I think I read you on the ‘vomiting herring’ part, but is it more authentic if it’s also through the nose?? (I hate when that happens!) ;~0,

  20. Al why would Manitoba want Icelanders they are not very diverse. Though we could get them to build homes and seize them to make a provincial park again like happened with Hecla.

  21. while yer all yukking yer faces off mebbe you could ponder how many polar bear cubs were orphaned because of this catastrophe…

  22. LOL Peter O’Donnell at April 15, 2010 10:35 PM
    Sure hope Finland doesn’t have one of these suckers.

  23. @dinosaur, we need somebody to commercial fish for the walleye!
    And I noticed last night Mansbridge (watched between hockey games, otherwise he would not darken my TV) referred to it as “that volcano in Iceland”- he wasn’t going near the pronunciation of its name.
    Btw, volcanoes blow, Gore sucks.

  24. Question to all the “greenies” out there … How many cars burning fossil fuel would be required to generate this much pollution?

  25. “Katla tends to erupt about 2 years after here little sister”
    So it IS true, the world will end in 2012!
    Time to get that new car!
