2. Just what it is with this unhealthy symbiosis between trailers and tornadoes, anyway

   Does the aluminum or vinyl siding acting as a twister-magnet, or are trailer parks just a meteorologically target-rich environment.

3. In the Palm Sunday tornadoes, our friends in Marion IN had opened a window to “equalize the pressure” (BULLSHIT! do NOT do this) and their snoozing cat was sucked up by the tornado. He came limping back home a couple of days later. The whole family, including their German Shephard, was in the hospital; neighbors recognized the cat and took him in. My parents stored what was recognizable of this family’s possessions in our garage. I was safe and sound in VietNam.

5. My question is this???? Today, in 2006, what are people doing hanging in a trailer in a horrid storm? Even out in TX, our lot [fyi, this was over 20 years ago and our deal on a house fell through and my landlord sold my rental out from under me, so we had to get something yesterday] had a shelter room, even in KY now they are doing this. Basically, you are safer outside than inside a trailer, which everyone should know is the ‘lightening rod’ of tonados.

   Geeeeze these kind of people give the midwest a bad rep., we are not all un-educated, inbred idiots.

7. I have a lot of KY jokes, it sort of lends itself to jokes. But at least a person can afford to live there (and nicely, if you have a job). Oh well. [Another KY favorite - what do you have when you have 32 people??? see below for the answer]

   Take my fav TX joke [I must look for it] as I actually cry I’m laughing so hard, it’s about chilli - now I need to teach these people here about chilli. The stuff they sell here is NOT chilli and it makes me gag. Real chilli would send them running.

   Oh well, such is the wonderfulness of being nomadic, you get to see how others live. Right now I wouldn’t much mind the CA weather, we are so far below normal and now they are talking snow again - so much for glowball warming. I’m freezing.

   Anyway, here’s the answer

   a full set of teeth!!!

9. me thinks it’s the results of inbreeding and drinking as a recreational sport. But fortunately, not all inhabitents of those parts are like that - which is how reporting on such nonsense gets accomplished!

10. Re: KY, something my Aunt told me, not really a joke.

    Down here, if you’re not a Baptist, you’ve been lettin’ some white person mess with your religion.

11. A quarter mile airborn and he’s still sucking air. It was not his day to die.

    I’m impressed. I only got tossed down a hallway (along with a bunch of glass and insulation).

    One thing I’m sure we can agree on though: that is a sound I never want to hear again.

    You can’t even hear yourself scream.
