From A Very Little Christmas (2010)
“A series of earthquakes have terrified many already-frazzled Christchurch residents this afternoon, starting with a 5.8 magnitude tremor at 1.58pm.
It was followed by a 6.0 magnitude aftershock at 3.18pm, centred 10km east of Christchurch in South New Brighton.
There was also a 5.3 magnitude quake at 2.06pm and a 5.0 at 4.50pm.”
Jesus fucking Christ, that city can just not catch a break.
The fact that this is (was) actually a Christmas card is cracking me up.
Like, why are the islands labelled (but really poorly drawn)? And why does “for old times sake” sound faintly passive aggressive? Also, what the fuck is up with that tiki?
It is nice to see some bilingualism though, even if it’s just “hullo.”
