Hurricane Rita Makes A Beeline For Crawford....

[althecat]

[aquart]

1. Texas is big. Where is Crawford?

[proud patriot]

3. about where the red path ends

:hi:

[leesa]

25. Must be a lot of gays there.

[neverforget]

31. Bwaaaahhhaaaaa! Good one!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[T Roosevelt]

4. About near the final dot on the red line

[althecat]

8. Directly under that orange line...

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=crawford+texas&spn=3.281325,5.082825&hl=en

Just west of Waco

[Guaranteed]

43. Right- around where the green and yellow paths end, folks.

Not the red.

[elehhhhna]

49. yep. the red's practically in oklahoma.

[Turbineguy]

2. That's why he's

willing to spend 200 billion to rebuild Nerw Orleans.

By comparison, 1 billion to rebuild the pig farm will be a bargain!

[TroubleMan]

5. Well good thing the hurricane's not named Cindy.....

They might not let it in.

[Be Brave]

6. It's a shit-seeking hurricane. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Poor pigs will FEMA evacuate the pigs?

and we can't afford the presnits pigs to drown, you know we are all nervous about what this coudl mean I mean has bush really annoyed the Lord that much... what will Preacher Robertson say, did the gays stay at the ranch? What about preacher Falwell, has the Chosen one been condemend to go to the desert? Is this the begining of the end, the forty years in the desert?

(Yes all intended in parody)

[Mabus]

34. Condi killed the pigs

and had them made into fashionable shoes. :evilgrin:

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. there are fates worst than death,

being a shoe for condy is definitely one of them, I mean the shoe has a sole, she does not have a sole or a soul.

[Bouncy Ball]

9. Huh. It IS right about where the red line ends.

And not to be a wet blanket (ha ha) but you guys know it won't be anything close to a hurricane at that point, right?

Crawford will be lucky if they get some rain out of it, that far inland.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Yes, yes but what about the pigs?

And I mean err what does this mean? Is god telling us something? I mean there is something in this from God... and we at the 700 club need to kow what it is... I know brother George is hitting the sauce again.

(with apologies to real Christians)

:-)

[Bouncy Ball]

15. It means Robertson and Falwell are assholes.

God told me.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Amen sister

that they are

;-)

[Bouncy Ball]

18. I figure I can play the "God told me" game just as well as they can.

Ya know?

Why God told me just last night that the entire bush family makes baby Jesus cry. Daily.

What nasty people to make the baby Jesus cry!

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Yep and he is only a baby

but what did you expect from bullies....

And yes we can all play that game, also generally speaking we usually take people who claim to hear voices from God and take them to the local house for the insane

[Bouncy Ball]

22. But hey I figure they've been getting away with it for years.

And people around where I live say God talks to them all the time, so what the heck (down here it is far less likely to land you in the nut house).

God told me neoconservatives are particularly evil little sinners and will be punished for their crimes.

God told me DeLay has a serious gastrointestinal problem because of all his sinnin'.

God told me he still loves bush voters, just like he loves all his children, but he's sure disappointed with them right about now.

And that baby Jesus, he's still crying.

RAMEN!

Oh also, God told me everything Robertson, Falwell and their ilk say HE told them was actually told to them by a DEMON.

So there.

See, it's fun! :rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. My lord what have I started

Lots of fun actually.

and to all you say Sister, I say Amen, can I have an Amen from the House? (and the donation plate too)

What a church to do without a donation plate? (or any other self respecting religious institution for that matter)

[Bouncy Ball]

32. Geez, I'm no good at this, am I?

That's right, that'll be five bucks. Thank you. Praise the Lord, Ramen.

(Momma needs new shoes.)

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. LOL

[althecat]

11. Yes.. but there is every chance it will be an intense hurricane

.. when it crosses the coast... I.e. more pressure on oil prices and lots more destruction...


http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT18/refresh/AL1805I_sm2+gif/025048P_sm.gif

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. the part about the destruction and victims I don't like

this seaon ain't even half way done and we may still get another CAT 4\5 or two out of the mix

[althecat]

24. Just remember it is nothing to do with Global Warming....

.. coz that is all just hippy paranoia...

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. Yep check,

ten years and I am almost seeing them in my bloody back yard, but global warming is all our collective imaginations

[Guaranteed]

44. I'm sorry, but it's not

[op6203]

48. I'm with you...

I don't know what the others are looking at. Maybe the map link was updated after they posted?

OP

[johnfunk]

12. Buh-bye, Prairie Craphole Road...

... and Rita, puh-leeease take the twins (Jenna and Not Jenna) with you!

[bookman]

14. Uh...

..I might find that humorous, but one or two of those lines go right over my house.

[Bouncy Ball]

16. Unless you are pretty close to the coast, you should just get

a good dose of rain.

Unless it spawns some tornadoes, which are always fun.

(Fellow Texan here.)

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. You two klnow what to do

what I fear is that because Global Warming is a fantasy... (so they tell us at EPA and other Gov'ment agencies) we will see another Cat 4, if not an outright CAT 5 before this season is over... my lord what will we do as a nation for three or four of this and forget about the economy... and the casualties will be hard to take too

[Bouncy Ball]

21. What I fear are TWO more big ones this season.

That isn't out of the realm of possibility, scarily enough.

This one could be one of them. Then a big 'un could hit the east coast, maybe coastal Virginia.

:scared:

Shit, the federal government can't even handle one big hurricane.

We have more than two months before hurricane season is over.

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. ok so this means another 72 hours of getting creative

check!

At least twice

Check!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Even if it doesn't damage Bush's pig farm, the symbolism is potent!

[jmowreader]

26. The ideal situation

would be if Rita would spare everything in her path EXCEPT the pig farm.

That, I want her to flatten.

[Bouncy Ball]

29. No.

Then bush could say, with a faux tear of glycerin in his eye, "See, poor black people of the Former New Orleans? MY house was flattened, too! Wah wah wah, woe is me!"

[jmowreader]

41. And he'd spend the next year on the pig farm rebuilding

Because, as you well know, the hurricane force winds would cause the brush to just sprout up at ten times its normal speed.

[Ilsa]

30. That red line hits pretty close to home. And the orange

one is very close to my dad's place. And the yellow goes over my brother's home.

[aquart]

39. Packing?

[Ilsa]

50. Not yet. If we see by tomorrow that it is getting really big and

powerful and headed our way, we'll get everything together for a trip to a safer location.

I have water and food already and good camp gear. I can pick up more batteries tomorrow. The gas tanks are full. I still have some options for going south instead of north.

[chalky]

37. Well THIS is just WONDERFUL...I'm between the coast & Crawford.

Guess I'd better grab the cat and go visit my sister in Chicago.

[aquart]

38. Sounds like a good, thoughtful idea.

A loving sister will appreciate a visit.

[radwriter0555]

40. "It's not NICE to fuck with MOTHER NATURE..."

*cough*

[Mutley]

42. If Katrina was punishment for all the liberals, gays, and blacks...

then who is Rita punishing if she hits Crawford?

[Silverhair]

45. We need the rain, badly.

By the time it gets this far inland, it is nothing but a lot of rain and a little wind. But we need the rain very badly.

[triguy46]

46. Surf's up in tulsa!!! n/t

[theHandpuppet]

47. Not possible!

After all, that General Store at the (one) intersection in Crawford, the one that sells all the George and Laura souvenirs, has a monument to the Ten Commandments the size of a Hummer sitting out front.

I just hope the Crawford Peace House will be okay -- that place will be a historical site someday!

[NNN0LHI]

51. That headline cracks me up n/t

[theHandpuppet]

52. Just remember, folks, the Crawford Peace House and Camp Casey

The Crawford Peace House and Camp Casey will be historical markers to justice and freedom long after the current owners of the pig farm have left for a mansion in Dallas.

That's how I will always remember Crawford, and all the joking about Crawford being blown away by Rita doesn't sit well with me.
