OT: Who Had Square Dancing Hurricanes For August?
August 25th, 2020 at 9:41 PM ^
Didn’t Florida already get hit by a disaster named Marco? Asking for a friend.
August 25th, 2020 at 9:53 PM ^
I thought you meant Rubio.
August 25th, 2020 at 10:08 PM ^
I did.
August 25th, 2020 at 10:34 PM ^
How did you not get that? I laughed right away!!
August 26th, 2020 at 12:27 AM ^
Buckeye Impaler: Who's on first?
Bo Harbaugh: That's what I'm telling you. Who is on first. Not the pronoun who, but rather a player with the unlikely surname "Who."

This didn’t end up happening, as Marco ended up getting sheared apart as it approached land and was thus too weak to have any effect on Laura, which is currently forecast to make landfall as a category 3 or very close to it.
August 25th, 2020 at 9:50 PM ^
Well that's good news. I wasn't aware of Marco's demise. Would have been a terrible scenario.
August 26th, 2020 at 12:00 PM ^
Yes, although it is now looking like Hurricane Laura could be plenty of disaster all on it's own. The forecast now calls for Category 4 at landfall and storm surge up to 15-20ft in some areas. Luckily it is going to come ashore in the relatively unpolulated area of the Gulf Coast between New Orleans and Houston, though of course that's little comfort to the people who do live there. Lake Charles, Beaumont, and Port Arthur are all pretty near the forecast landfall point. Lake Charles in particular looks like it could be strongly affected, as it is forecast to be on the stronger right side of the storm where the forward motion of the storm adds to the wind speed.

Fujiwhara? Learn something new ...... I always thought that was a manager throwing salt in the eyes of his wrestler's opponent.
August 25th, 2020 at 10:19 PM ^
No no no that's Mr. Fuji.
Fujiwara is an armbar.
August 25th, 2020 at 9:53 PM ^
Damn, who won?
I had ass licking murder hornets.
August 25th, 2020 at 11:45 PM ^
"Ass eating"
FIFY
August 26th, 2020 at 9:26 AM ^
You obviously haven’t done much ass-eating.
August 25th, 2020 at 10:19 PM ^
August is almost over. Nothing really happened.
August 25th, 2020 at 10:22 PM ^
Alien invasion was on my bingo card for August
August 25th, 2020 at 10:36 PM ^
Has to be ass licking aliens. Details matter.
August 25th, 2020 at 11:07 PM ^
Can't lick ass if they're wearing a mask
August 25th, 2020 at 11:47 PM ^
Just yesterday, eating ass was the thing.
Today, it's all about licking.
College fads seem to change daily, I just can't keep up any more!
August 26th, 2020 at 9:27 AM ^
Psssst... They are the same unless you are a cannibal.
August 26th, 2020 at 2:13 PM ^
my bad.... I am out of touch with current sexual or nutritional fads
August 25th, 2020 at 10:47 PM ^
If you think this is bad just wait until November 3rd into November 4th.
August 26th, 2020 at 3:42 AM ^
Well an asteroid is heading towards us one day before Election Day. If we’re lucky we may all get put out of our misery before it happens.
August 26th, 2020 at 7:46 AM ^
Fingers crossed.
August 26th, 2020 at 8:53 AM ^
No square-dancing, but it looks like the Gulf Coast is in for an extended twerking:
August 26th, 2020 at 9:09 AM ^
wait til they bust out into the tango..... that's when shit gets real
August 26th, 2020 at 9:36 AM ^
Wait till square dancing goes big time, gets a coveted slot on the Ocho. Then it'll be dough-see-dough.
August 26th, 2020 at 10:02 AM ^
Oh hell, forget 'who had dancing hurricanes?'
At this point it's more like 'who even still has a damn 2020 bingo card?'
August 26th, 2020 at 10:18 AM ^
Screw all hurricanes. Wondering if we can drop a MOAB in the eye of Laura and it would do anything, like produce artificial wind shear that would knock it down.
I guess not.
August 26th, 2020 at 10:31 AM ^
A category 3 hurricane followed by another hurricane hitting almost the same spot is going to be an issue in New Orleans
Edit: Apparently Marco fizzled out so never mind, but still worried about New Orleans
August 26th, 2020 at 1:29 PM ^
Nola got missed by both so it seems.
August 26th, 2020 at 10:32 AM ^
Serious question: has anyone ever actually square danced aside from the obligatory gym class lesson?
August 26th, 2020 at 10:52 AM ^
Sure, I've done it a handful of times. Square dancing's like stamp collecting, birding, or competitive kite flying, not a common thing but a favorite pastime for a lot of people. You oughta get out more, comrade.
August 26th, 2020 at 11:37 AM ^
I guess I've been hanging out in all the wrong barns.
August 26th, 2020 at 12:26 PM ^
Stay out of the round barns. You'll only go in circles.
Once I was in Oklahoma City (for another reason than square dancing), and the downtown sidewalks were packed with couples dressed for a square-dance convention, guys in Western shirts and bolo ties, gals in those giant petticoats that make them look like tops.
August 26th, 2020 at 1:32 PM ^
This map was from 5 days ago. One storm fizzled out just east of New Orleans and the other is no headed to Texas and is fast approaching category 4.
August 26th, 2020 at 2:49 PM ^
2020 is going for shitty year of the century
August 26th, 2020 at 3:17 PM ^
Book it now: for it's final act, 2020 is going to close things out (literally, actually) with a New Year's Eve special: Yellowstone supervolcano eruption.
