I know hurricanes aren't supposed to make me laugh, but this did!
Which reminds me of another hurricane joke:
What is the similarity between a hurricane and a Southern ( Miss., Ala, La....) divorce?
In each case, someone loses a trailer.
Expeditus ( a proud but non-trailer owning Southerner)
This is all too true.
Except that it's hot -- wait! It's hot down here at Christmas.
What?
He's a sort of random commenter. When my husband started a blog for his hiking journals, the first comment other than one for me was from this guy, and contained the same sort of stuff.
Songbird is right. I got a comment like this from this guy and reverendmother advised me to delete it, so (of course!) I did.
EEek...does this mean that tbere's MORE bad weather brewing, St C? We don't get to hear the half of it over here...but I do hope all is well
Take care xKx
Kathryn, Nope, no bad weather in sight. This is gallows humor...
Thanks for being concerned.
I have the power! Bloggers do my bidding! Mwah-ha-ha!
I didn't see the deleted comment here, so St. Cass's "whaa?" was confusing. I thought she was talking about Expeditus, and I was thinking, "Gee, it seems like a pretty straightforward joke to me..."
Now, I am caught up. Talk amongst yourselves.
I'm lost on the comments thing, but I love the list!
Wishing you all well out there, St C.
Must comment.
St. C was comment on a Mr. "ILOVEHOWDY" who gave a long rambling and unconnected comment.
I, on the other hand, provided a good--if I must say so--joke.
St. C then erased the rambler comment.
St. C was in no way commenting about me ( at least I hope).
Expeditus
At least it wasn't someone vaguely rambling and then leaving a link to a site that sells coarse, naughty t-shirts! That's what we got over at RevGalBlogPals today. It was my first time ever deleting a comment, which I did as soon as I recovered from the fainting spell induced by the t-shirt site. :-)
And, Expeditus, I enjoyed your joke!
And, finally (and much later), St. C, I'm going away for a few days and won't be able to do any wand-waving with regard to the WebRing. How are your technogeeks coming?
Geeks are busy. I'm sorry I'm slow to enter the webring.
Snorfle, snorfle (trying to keep my laughing down to a reasonable decibel level while the rest of the house is asleep).
Of course, there's also the one about eating foods you wouldn't normally eat (like all the stuff that has defrosted in your freezer).
Would you 'splain the Hat Tip for this ignorant soul?
Explanation: The rambling commenter probably included a link to his/her website. This random comment is a tactic for increasing one's page rank in Google, and is considered "blogspam." That's why Mr. RM says to nuke 'em.
mibi, I learned from my mentor, RevMikeHouseofHomeletics that "hat tip" is means tipping one's hat in acknowledgement of another's contribution to one's entry. I got the Hurricane/Christmas list from someone else. I didn't write it.
Thanks, St. Cass!
