Ike don't know me vewwy well in hurricanes - very organized, active, controlled terror about covers it, because I know when it's over I can go

Ike doesn't take any back talk. You best watch yourself.

The hurricane's in the middle of Texas and the damn thing's still a Cat 1.

For some reason when hurricanes come through the Gulf, we get a lot of rain too. It's raining like mad. Last time I checked the pond near my mother's house was completely dry... I wonder what it will look like tomorrow.

My mother called yesterday saying gas prices were going up to $6 due to the hurricane. I doubted that, but went out to get gas anyway because my car was almost at E and I'd have to get gas this weekend anyway. Out of paranoia, gas has gone up to $4.50 in some places, and the cheapest I saw was $3.89, with short lines at those gas stations. Cheaper Detroit stations had even longer lines. I bet most of those people heard the $6 rumor and went to get gas even though their cars have over a half tank.

Edit: I can't even joke about this shit. The fucker's coming straight for us!

Glad I bought gas on Thursday.

Ike may have devastated parts of east Texas but there wasn't so much as a hiccup here. Swing and a miss!

We are expecting rain from Ike the next couple days...cause after the bad boy took a major dump on Houston he headed directly north.

B E C K · « **Reply #39 on:** Sep 15, 2008, 02:59:01 PM »

When I saw where it was going, I laughed. I still wanted some rain though.

Rama · « **Reply #40 on:** Sep 15, 2008, 03:02:45 PM »

Yeah well we don't need anymore so come up here and drag it back down there. And give us back Jessie James' bones while you're at it.

The D · « **Reply #41 on:** Sep 15, 2008, 04:15:20 PM »

Minor flooding, high winds, powet outages, and a tornado took out part of Plymouth! And the pond only has 6 inches in it right now!

And hurricane bears, as well.

B E C K · « **Reply #42 on:** Sep 15, 2008, 09:49:21 PM »

Those are OUR bones now! Deal with it.

You'll never find him. Never.

I'll just have to dig up all the bodies in the state till I do.

Sam · « **Reply #46 on:** Sep 16, 2008, 02:26:16 PM »

So it'll be a normal Saturday night for you then?

Rama · « **Reply #47 on:** Sep 18, 2008, 12:43:05 AM »

Pretty much.

That's how I got Walt Disney back from California.

People that stayed for this hurricane and died fill me with irrational fury. Especially old codgers that think they know what's best. Who knows what's best now grandma? You're fucking dead! Good Job!

No hurricane is like another hurricane. People on the coast who think, "Well, it held up fine during _____!" are idiots. The majority of the damage was from storm surge, and even though Ike was technically a Cat 2 for wind speed, the height & powet of the surge was a Cat 4. Run from water, hide from wind - hell, we had flood damage and we're 70 miles inland.

B E C K · « **Reply #53 on:** Oct 06, 2008, 02:22:51 PM »

Jesus, the more I read about Ike, the happier I am that it completely missed over here.

How about a good story? Eddie found a gorgeous border collie (in heat, no less) after the hurricane. No way we could keep her - ads on Petfinder & craigslist to no avail. Got all her shots and a friend offered to keep her - she wiggled under the fence (friend neglected to mention that she'd be outside). I drove around and was about to give up when something told me to go down one more street, and there she was! Got her spayed and she's been adopted by a friend who has a border collie and wanted our foundling for his mom, but his dog is having too much fun with her. Since his dog is named Xena, her new name just had to be Gabrielle. Gay guys....

Gabrielle was hot... especially in the early outfit. Series kinda lost me though when they started killing the Gods.

B E C K · « **Reply #57 on:** Oct 09, 2008, 09:45:36 AM »

I thought you were gonna say the series lost you when they started getting uber-gay. Ha. I forget exactly when I started tuning out.... which doesn't matter because I've seen every episode anyway.

Gabrielle was like a hobbit. an ugly hobbit

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #59 on:** Oct 17, 2008, 09:49:51 AM »

Well, Xena started attacking her, so her name is Molly again and she's living in our spare bedroom. Eddie wants to keep her, so we'll try for a couple of weeks. Working her in with our other dogs will take a while. So far, he's getting up at 5 AM to walk her - border collies need a lot more exercise than our 4 lugs, so we'll see how long this devotion to duty lasts.

Oh, and we're telling Comcast to fuck off 10/31 for U-Verse. The soonest they could come to the house to see why our HD isn't working is after Thanksgiving. Can get some channels on the non-HD box, and still no internet. But do they want our $140 on time? YOU BETCHA!!

NO credits issued until they have all the outages fixed!
