Death Storm 2016 - Open Thread

Submitted by ijohnb on

I hear things are getting very dicey already in some parts of the state.  What are you going to do to celebrate death storm?  Drink?  Possibly drink?  Reports from all over the State would be helpful in order for everybody to decide when to start, well, drinking.  I think those attendance estimates for the game tonight are going down by the minute.

You're annoyed, but are you "enraged"? Are you so pissed you might miss "leg day" that you might, oh, say, start punching random objects in your house?? Finally, have you noticed your hairline rapidly receding over the last few years??? :-D

PCS = Permanent Change of Station also known as being stationed somehwere.  It sounds much nicer than forcibly moved under threat of imprisonment.  Alternatiively the phrase when I moved there this fall also works.

On a side note, I may have to get our man 1 percent a military to english dictionary along with the tragic news that he can't just use "fuck" to fill in a verbal pause and will have to switch to "um' or "uh" iunstead.

when we would have football practice out there and it would rain, most of the guys on the team were from warmer/southern places, so they would not dig the weather.  me on the other hand, along with another guy who had played at iowa and was from michigan too, we would shame them mercilessly about their high-wuss-content, cramping, and other man-shaming phrases as they would complain about the cold or the rain.

My kids were talking about it this morning and are begging for it. I doubt it'll happen for them (Dexter schools). Too much of the snow is happening today for it to be a problem to clear for tomorrow morning's buses. For their sake, I hope I'm wrong. It'd be the one and only snow day this year.

Hear! Hear! (or perhaps only here! only here!). That fight also entitled us to express all units of measure without fear of censorship or restraint.  Can't we all just measure together?

 

EDIT: ijohnb was right. Kids are ecstatic...too bad the ignitor on the furnace went out last night. Finally back up and running. Shovelling is a great way to keep warm.
