Should I Stay Or Should I Go NOW?
This is the last thing I am going to post and/or read regarding Hurricane Katrina. After this, don’t expect to hear another peep from me on the subject. Unless I change my mind.
Perhaps it is the same mentality that causes people to live on welfare rather than getting an education and a job that also caused them to stay put rather than taking advantage of the (initial) free evacuee transportation??? The only thing I know for sure is that were *I* to have to evacuate from Houston (or anywhere else) the FIRST thing to get loaded in my car would be my kats. Then my toiletries/meds/clothes/gun … then my dragons. Everything else is replaceable.
Incidentally, don’t you think we should stop *naming* natural disasters? It cannot be very pleasant for a person with the same name.

I know a Katrina. It fits. We’ll keep *naming* them. While we’re at it, we should name them ALL female names.
*ducks*

I would have been gone like a fart in the wind. Fuck a bunch o’ that.

It sucks that it’s named after a person, but that’s what they do. I would take my dog too. I’m surprised at how the rescue workers aren’t taking pets. They need love too. I gave my first $$ to the humane society.

There is a history on the subject:

Also note that when a storm is particularly bad (’Katrina’ for example) they retire the name…

You have a gun ???????
remind me to never piss you off !!
I would have evacuated the first time I heard of hurricane warnings………..whether I had to walk or drive, or crawl………..

Cat: Why yes ma’am, I do declare that I am both armed and danjerus! I’m also told that I’m a “natural” shooter. Which is great since I haven’t practiced shooting in several years. But if any burglars/rapists are reading this, I assure you that I won’t miss you from across the room.

I wish they’d name a hurricane after me. Cause then I could route for it.
“Yes! Hurrican Cole… taking out the trash!”
Then I’d spend the rest of my life feeling guilty about it.

I have TOTALY turned to Peter and said, “Well, we can be sure the first born girl WON’T be named Katrina…”
I feel bad for the Katrinas of the world.
P.S. HEY BABY!!!!!!!!

One of my white trashiest cousins in Kansas is named Katrina, and well… to name a disaster Katrina is not too far off the mark. I really think if we’re going to name it after people, it should have names of people that are really bad. Like Hurricane Hitler. Or Hurricane Noriega. Or Hurricane Cruise.
And now that you have the digits, I’ll be waiting for the parade of phone calls from hot Texas boys. Hoar.

I hate that my name is so far down the alphabet; I totally want a big assed hurricane named after me. That way I can really brag about blowing hard and swallowing sea men…

Andria: Shame on you for not commenting on the song title! That was especially for you … you know, since B___ has deserted me and all.
WCG: Are you SURE you meant “big assed”?

B___? Dude. Help a sister out here. I have no clue what you’re talking about. I am going to be pissed when it’s something really obvious that I know, and just can’t remember. Dammit.

“After this, don’t expect to hear another peep from me on the subject. Unless I change my mind. ”
This is classic.

Andria: First Clue: B___ = cute, Ohio, “won” 80s music contest, < #’s you, used to read/comment me … Second Clue: The Clash

Fat bottomed girls, they make the rockin’ world go ’round!!!!
September 8th, 2005 at 10:59 am
DK, I can not believe you took his side. How could you?!??? And, he can’t really use the internet at work anymore, so don’t feel too abandoned. Though you should leave him a comment and give him crap about it.
Warcry, you got that right, sister.
September 8th, 2005 at 11:38 am
WCG: I know several fat bottomed girls who rock MY world!
Andria: I wasn’t exactly taking his side so much as pointing out, gently if I may say so, that you blatantly failed miserably to notice the brilliant double-entendre of the song title. Inattentive hoar.
September 8th, 2005 at 11:50 am
*gasp!*
That’s it! I am never sending you cd’s again! Not that I’ve sent you any recently, BUT STILL.
Insensitive hoar.
September 8th, 2005 at 1:16 pm
You know, *somebody* has a birthday coming up on 28th September. That would be my estranged sister’s three kids … but still … others of the same birthday might want to settle down a bit.
September 8th, 2005 at 2:52 pm
You know I love you, right? RIGHT?
You know you’re my favorite hoar.
September 8th, 2005 at 11:49 pm
You can imagine how surprised I was as I was catching up on what I have not read yet to discover that I have abandoned you… I assure you, that is not the case… I’m just slower these days because of work and the show taking up all of my time…
September 8th, 2005 at 11:54 pm
And if I may also add - Andria, SEE? I won. Case closed.
September 9th, 2005 at 10:51 am
Yay!!! My boyfriend… um, Andria’s boyfriend … um, Bill is BACK! and we both love when he does it slower…
