If prayer worked, then they wouldn't have been killed by the tornado in the first place, douche bag.

"Thoughts and prayers" = Absolutely nothing.  They need the Red Cross, not fiction.

It appears there were 7 living in a trailer in Alabama.  They may have been praying FOR a tornado.

Have an open mind.

Could this then be considered a form of Murder/Suicide?

God is such a fucking Troll

I woke Sunday morning to a fresh foot of snow and the sound of a town plow contractor lunching my mailbox. Surrounded by five other boxes, mine was crushed, probably for complaining about the 4am party break the same clowns held in front of my house last winter. No, they tell me, the town won't cough up for the mailbox.

It's 50 degrees, raining and most of the snow is gone.

It was sunny and a tropical 60 here.

Chinook winds, nothing more.  Winter will resume as scheduled later this week.

You should have put an "excessive cuteness" warning on that post, choad!

Not ded for me; the clip works fine.

Here we go again, New England has officially shuttered it's doors for the day.  The upper mid-west and Canada look on with bemusement...

They're forecasting 8-12" for us, while yesterday was 60, sunny and no breeze off the bay; teeshirt weather. I'm not complaining but it is fucking looney.

I'm still shoveling metric assloads of sunshine off my driveway... Think I might enjoy my cocktail by the pool once the sun goes down...

Whatever asswipe, you'll never enjoy a good hearty stew down in that wasteland.  Chili ain't chili if it's 70° outside...

Excuse me, chili was invented in San Antonio where it's rarely below 70.  The sweat on your forehead from the chili pepper serves as a coolant in hot climes.

Oh fuck off, tomato-bean stew wasn't invented anywhere it just evolved everywhere those basic ingredients could be found.  Now if you want to claim tumbleweed soup was invented in San Antonio I might be inclined to believe you, but "chili"? Nah...

Tomato, bean stew is not chili asshole.

Tomatoes, peppers (and potatoes, too) are all members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae, all originating along the west coast of South America. The beans in your stew came from the same place.

My point exactly.  While the marketeers love a good story (like the "sandwich") the fact remains that as soon as a viable ingredient was available people started using it in every which way possible.  If you want to claim it became famous somewhere you might have an argument but it's a pretty lame argument particularly if it involves the word "Texas" (the claim everything state). 

Did you realize that pasta was invented in Texas and then exported through time to China?  They have a museum for it in Dallas.

C'mon all y'all; post friendly.

Nah, fuck Em.  He can post any way his cripple ol' brain will let him.  Did you forget what site you were on Smudge? 

And don't say "y'all" you fucking poser. :-P

No, I had no problem with what Emmeran wrote -- in fact, I agree with him; I was trying to poke fun at Texans.

As far as being a poser, you got that right. I'd rather eat a bale of barbed wire than move to Texas. I'm an elitist Yankee snob.

Fair enough.

Exactly, people are more willing to go to North Dakota than Texas.  You hear:  I wanna move to Cali, NYC, Florida...


Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, says "I wanna move to Texas"....

Texas is the Balkans dropped onto the rest of the U.S.A.

I've been down here 20+ years.  It's been good to us, but it's still not home.
San Antonio is a cool city, though; got a lot of personality.  Don't believe the hype about Austin--Austin is far too self-conscious to be cool.  Either place is twenty or so levels above DFW, where I spent eleven years and which is a steaming dump with no culture and terrible weather.

The secret to living in DFW is to not live in DFW, live in the northern 'burbs.  Houston has way worse weather (and humidity) than DFW, so it's just a matter of perspective.  We lived in north Austin for about a year.  It was nice but that was over 20 years ago.

Storm Bomb!!!

Fucking amazing panic mongering.


(On the plus side someone finally cleaned the streets in Compton)

nuts

No worries here.  We're expecting 12-16, but the Honda EB11000 is always hooked up and at the ready, and the snowblower is parked inside the door of the main garage - even sprayed the auger with "Pam".  Every vintage car has a full tank of fuel so I can go for weeks on the genset.  Food is never a worry... we have a fallout shelter that's been converted to a fully stocked larder & wine cellar. 

So... as for you, Mother Nature... 

...bring it bitch.

Mob payoff?

Troll. NOAA bought futures in milk and eggs. We only have light snizzle here, s'not snow, s'not snot, not enough to deter the go cart races. Boston and Providence are brick and mortar heat sinks.
