If Indiana is a-rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’…

Well we have had an interesting morning here at Mock Dock Central Headquarters in Indianapolis, IN. At 5:30ish this mornin’ there was a HUGE (well, ok, moderate) earthquake. (Joey from “Blossom” voice: “WHOA!”).  Maybe in your neck of the woods an earthquake is no-biggie…but apparently the Chicken Littles of the Hoosier state are fa-reaking out.

On the news this morning, the new casters acted like the apocolypse had hit the greater Indianapolis area  and then would proceed to show random intersections and downtown areas where literally nothing was going on. As usual. People were driving to work and all was well.

“BREAKING NEWS! NOTHING IS HAPPENING! THIS IS GOING TO BE A NORMAL DAY” People would call in to say what they sort of heard or felt…and keep us viewers up-to-date on which piece of their China set did or didn’t break. “Whew, another gravy boat is safe this morning.” A correspondent was at a local doughnut shop saying things like “people are here to eat away their sorrows of the morning’s events.” Really?

Wow. Are you fans starting to see why we had to start this website? There is too many mock-able things surrounding us. Just wait till Race Season…we will have PAGES of posts.
