I'm quite sure it isn't hard at all, yet one someone decides to play smartass and gets called out on it (again), all of a sudden it's time to play the "Let's give TA a lecture on what an asshole RJT is #393458905423." People really are just way more entertained by reruns than I thought they could ever possibly be.

I'm Tivo'ing this post.

Yeah, and sure that ice storm was pretty crazy shit, but we always try to exagerrate it so we can pretend we've actually been through shit.

I was right in the middle of it and I remember enjoying it.

DUDE! +1
No school for almost 3 weeks[Grade 6], skating in my drive way every day, everything covered in ice was gorgeous.... hazardly but gorgeous. I was on the same power line as the hospital so I never lost power..only cable. It was awesome.

Yeah, those were the days before I was addicted to the internet. We lost power for over a week, so we lit the house with candles, ordered pizza and played cards all night, every night. It was awesome.

You're too tepid to be an asshole. Don't flatter yourself. You're just a long-winded, redundant bitch.

Nice! Actually I think we lost power for a day, but nothing more than that. I remember my mom starting lunch and the power went off so she went outside and cooked on the BBQ. It was awesome

I'd be insulted if I thought that was true, thankfully it's painfully obvious when someone just isn't smart enough to respond with anything but insults.

You are a dime a dozen my friend, and fine company you keep at that - I'm sure ISQuare, DOOMBOT, and AGQ salute you, that is provided you actually aren't any of them.

Nothin' could be grander the to be in Louisiana In the morning.

What on earth could have made you think this Robert? Everyone else on here who actually counts has known otherwise ever since the attention seeking little cretin signed up.

Originally posted by RJT Wow, is that really the line you want to take here? That all areas of the Earth are equally at risk for catastrophic natural disasters? I've never really thought you were a complete idiot, but if this is really the argument you want to make here, I think the deal has been sealed. You really have no business in the sciences whatsoever if common logic relating to statistical probability means nothing to you, and it's a shame they actually give degrees to people like you. You might just be the epitome of what happens when standards in education are lowered to dangerous levels.

get off your pedastool. when you get a meteorology degree, then come to talk to me.

i would also like to point out, because i didn't read any of the other posts until after i replied to that one, that I am NOT pickles.

at any rate, so far so good in New Orleans. the collapsing eyewall kinda helped the situation further inland as well. looks like its headed for shreveport too. rainy and breezy, whoopee!

If getting a meteorology degree would turn me into a closeted homosexual who can't grasp even the simplest of concepts, then I'll pass, thanks.



I much prefer common sense.

And here we go again.

If you're stupid enough to be in the ocean when a hurricane is nearby, then eh, your own fault.

Imagine the surfing potential.
