Perfect Storm

 

1. Out here in SoCal people are complaining that the weather is predicted to turn from 80oF to 60oF on Wednesday.

2. Hi, Orion. Welcome.  The MoFo blizzard sailed over us in Indy. I say again word afther ‘Thank God’—schadenfreude.  Used in the sense of: better you than me.

4. Now Skipper ... I don’t want to hear any more whinning about a lousey four inches ... of anything!

5. MrC: She was initially shocked, thinking you were suggesting ‘swinging’?  “Bada-bing”

6. 18” Inches here in Blue Connecticut.  No big deal, we are used to it.  It’s just payback for all that 55 and 60 degree weather we’ve been having.  It was 60 degrees the weekend before last!  My father pays this guy to plow his driveway and the stupid paperboy threw the Sunday paper into the driveway in the middle of the blizzard when there is a perfectly good plastic newspaper holder next the mailbox!  Then the plowman comes and manages to suck that heavy paper into his snow blower and jamming it something fierce.  You should have heard the two of them swearing!  He needed to use that blower about 18 - 30 more times and now he had to go back to his shop and dissemble the thing to get the newspaper out.

7. -MSJ:  Just another example of the leftist media trying to choke off capitalism and free enterprise in America.  Those bastards!!!

8. If it was a male weather man reporting, you really have to wonder.  I think guys are intrinsically unable to tell the difference between what they think is 6 inches, when it is actually 4.

9. I cannot take my wife fishing, she wants to keep all the fish we catch. Her entire life she has been told this:

   |________________________________________| is 6 inches.

10. Jolted from his torpor, OINK slowly rereads Becca’s above posting. He happily ceases struggling with 14-line iambic pentameter in order to write a sonnet to get back in her good graces. Taking out a fresh sheet of paper, he begins:

    There once was a man from Nantucket,
    Whose ...

11. Got about 5 inches of snow here in the frozen north of Maine.

    Much as I bitch about this blue state, they are pretty damned good at clearing the roads after a snowstorm.

    Shoveled out my driveway (and carport, since the damn wind made some really interesting looking snowdrifts) this morning. That was my workout for the day. Since I share a carport with the neighbor I went ahead and cleared out the whole thing - the neighbor’s wife is pregnant and she’s not touching a snow shovel on my watch.

12. Good job, Severin Severa & glad you’re OK.  We got a 4Runner 4WD, not used it once this year.

13. Not that I wasn’t looking forward to the sonnet (tomorrow is after all VD day ) but I can enjoy a good limerick now and then....they certainly can’t be any worse than the ‘lingerie bowl’ rhyming fiasco! Well, maybe they could.....

15. We got dusted. It’s supposed to be 42 tomm.
    (bikini weather YEAH!)
    Better wasp proof the house before it gets too warm.
    (We got our first one-in the house-in mid march last year.)
    As for the Big Apple-well...Macy’s is in NYC.
    The same Macy’s that’s changing the name of Marshall Field’s-including the State Street one- to Macy’s this fall.
    Who say’s there’s no justice.
    BWAHAHAHAHA
    (The move-in case you didn’t guess-is VERY unpopular with Chicagoans)

16. Welcome back, Dottie. I’ve been wondering where you’ve been. Glad you had a good time.

17. Yeah, Dottie, welcome—you missed nothing, except the most delightful Troll. And he badly needed a Mom.  And Dad. With a big stick.
