Imagine it’s early 1919. You’ve lost friends to the big flu pandemic, and maybe even suffered through it yourself. Overseas, the doughboys have been fighting the Kaiser. It’s a pretty sucky time to be an American.

And then. And then… a big fucking 50-foot wall of molasses comes roaring down the street, drowning everything in sight.

Let’s hope the two-thousand teens go a little better than that.

Need to buy my dad that book for his birthday. I don’t know why, but he loves telling the Molasses Flood story.
