Huh?

Oh.

I wouldn't recommend trying to motorboat this one.

Eh whatever. It's really not that big a deal, y'all. I wish it would come up here to Dallas/Fort Worth. We could so use the rain and cooler temps right now.

Global Warming

Approves of headline.

The one time I tried to actually watch the movie, my roommate and I screamed out loud and almost destroyed the DVD player in a mad attempt to silence the horror that is Walter Matthau trying to sing the title song.

To this day, I have no idea if he managed to trick Barbra Streisand into coming close enough that he could knock the ever-loving shiat out of her.

Win!

Dolly blows

Can't post right now. I'm too busy packing my shiat so I can move to Brownsville in time to be a victim.

Aaw...Dollys only a baby. But as soon as she hits Texas, she'll be a woman. And once she hits Mexico, She'll be a Eye bleach endorser.

TS Dolly? Transsexual Dolly?

hope she brings a couple pecan rollovers with

Global Cooling/Warming/Climate Change folk:

Have no one who disagree with our doctrine of Religion of Scientific Intolerance.

/over drama

I'm on a 1 hour recall to go north of Brownsville, in case it causes any serious damage.

I wanna say something snarky about helping the scumbags in louisiana vs the people of Texas....
but I fear it would be redundant

Hurricane category 1 & 2 = well organized thunderstorm.
Category 3, tie your shiat down.
Category 4 & 5....you're still here ? You are an idiot.

therhinodep: Can't post right now. I'm too busy packing my shiat so I can move to Brownsville in time to be a victim.

So, you're going to meet blowing Dolly in Brownsville...

Dolly Parton has the biggest hits of all.

"Hellooooooooo nurse!"

Dolly and Kenny.. Now there's a pair

Cat 1

/shrug

I thought I must have accidently clicked on my Firefox weather extension until I realised that the subby is talking about a cyclone/hurricane/typhoon.

I hope the drug submarines are on the west coast when this one gets angry.

As one who actually lives on the Texas coast (and works for department that has to pay close attention to hurricanes), I am so tired of all the over reacting by the media. Cat 1 is nothing to freak out about. We get cold fronts with stronger winds than that.

Hey, get serious. Dollys blowing ashore right now:

"With the bridge gone and the airport unfortunately on the
other side of the bridge, a number of citizens are
attempting to jump the gorge with their cars. It's a
silent testament to the never-give-up, and never-think-
things-out spirit of our citizens..."

I am sweating bullets right now because that storm is about 330 miles south of me, and turning in my direction.

The last three hurricanes I faced, I had plenty of food and water but I was caught short on beer, because all the stores were closed and I only carry a one-day supply typically--------------

Uh, 'scuse me, I just remembered something I gotta go do. . . . .

Better stock up but I doubt your employer will let you off of work for a "hurricane didn't hit me" party.

Just so you all know, I do a damn fine Louis Armstrong impression after I've had several good strong drinks, and I'm available for Fark parties.

A man with the right priorities. Though might I suggest whiskey and coke instead? If you should lose power, you can drink those warm (or even make due with warm+ice) and both can be re-cooled without tasting even worse than normal.

After reading the headline I thought we were going to sing some Broadway tunes.

I need that drug money for my kid's college fund.

READY!

Maybe this is what we need to reconnect the Rio Grande with the Gulf of Mexico. Damn mexican have been stealing all the water.

"krooner", what kind of a greenhorn do you take me for?

I always carry plenty of ice and I make my own electricity. If power goes out, I am the only one on the block with lights and TV, all the suckers have to sit in the dark.

Don't always have Innertubes 'cause I wardrive, I have a mind to go tell those people to do better, but they might get sore at me.

Storm is at 24.9 N by 95.7 W as of an hour ago. It is heading northwest, about 295 on the compass.

Ha, I actually live in Brownsville, waiting now for the power to go out so everything in the freezer thaws and the temp goes to about 100 in the house and the dogs track a mountain of mud into the house when they are forced to go out. Category one = big gigantic pain in the rear....

I thought of the exact same headline driving in this morning.

Probably along with 3,000 other farkers.

Meanwhile my brother's sayin' "Fark,why can't it hit Port A hard,I need a new building for my restaurant!"

one of my all time favorite songs

I hear ya... having a cat1 is like saying you had a small tornado...

True thing, up to a point anyway -- they almost always go into freak-out over-hype mode. But a Category 1 storm can strengthen into something worse pretty quickly over Gulf waters in the summertime. And there seems to be some concern about this one bringing an awful lot of rain.

Plus, its course can change pretty drastically just overnight. I moved from Corpus up to Houston at the end of May '70; 2 months later, Hurricane Celia appeared to be headed our way, but overnight it swung due west and blew right across Corpus Christi Bay and did an enormous amount of damage throughout the area.

The biggest problem with the ever present media fearmongering is the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome it can instill in people -- after so many false alarms, folks tend to let down their guard and then that turns out to be the one time the predictions come true. There's a bit of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" aspect to that.

I'm so pleased it only took five posts and four minutes for Wall*E to make an appearance.

/since they name hurricanes alphabetically, can Eve be the next one?

True, but there are a lot of trailer houses in that area. Things could get tricky.

Actually, after I posted that, I remembered you as the guy who lives in a small house and does a ton of green energy generation. Wouldn't mind trying that, but I'm lazy (and couldn't afford property without a house on it here anyway).

blazemongr:since they name hurricanes alphabetically, can Eve be the next one?

Cornelius should have been the last one.



/holds own hand

Oh you wusses on the coast quit whinning, its not like you live in a farking bowl like those poor dumb bastads in NewAwlins.
