Summer in the subtropics subsucks. Every time you turn on the stupid television, there's a giddy weatherboy basking in the glory of another stupid hurricane warning. The weather radar looks like God is bowling and we are the pins.

I blame modern weather radar. Remember how uneventful the weather was back when local TV weather reports consisted of squiggly lines and frownie cloud faces and colorful arrows? What if Hurricane Andrew was an elaborate sales demonstration by the manufacturers of Doppler Weather Radar? What if the entire thing was a setup to impress Storm Center Four on the local CBS affiliate? What if the weatherboys are in on this?

What sucks more than the weather? In a negative way, I mean.
 
Lack of it.

Come out west for a bit, Sher. Any weather is better than no weather at all. (Before I get pummeled with definitions, weather to me is anything other than completely clear bright days)

The word "weather" wouldn't be necessary if weather did what it was supposed to do. Nobody would discuss it.

ROFL

Crap! I hadn't even thought about the storms out there when I put that AV up. I was just mourning our sad little half-assed monsoon this year. (The background pic is from a storm a couple of years ago)

Damn, I am self-centered! :eek:

No, you're not. Even if you were in this case, you've earned enough generosity points to spend a few here without selling your Aflack stock.

There's a bizarre but intriguing "resort" in New Mexico where the entertainment is provided by a forest of metal rods set a safe distance away from the guest lodge. How cool is that! Thunderstorms are thrilling when your home and loved ones aren't in danger, aren't they? I'd love to spend a few summer evenings on the front porch of that lodge, preferably alone with the man whose mere presence makes me squirm in my chair.

I would be careful what you do with fowls in your Avatar, minsue!

If UPC, otherwise known as United Poultry Concerns is not afraid of attacking large insurance companys about their commercials, claiming that AFLAC Ad Exploits and Degrades Ducks or even protesting against the White House’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt to frighten youngsters with the facts behind the Horror of Easter Eggs what might they not be willing to do to your? :eek:

Well, somebody's got to protect this little guy. I've been abusing the hell out of him. ;)

Sher, I thought you knew how liberal I am. :mad:

If I printed a list of the charities that deduct money from my account automatically every month, PETA would be on it. Consider it my penance for photographic abuse of plastic garden creatures. ;)
 
Weather thread? Who needs a weather thread? It was just a standard conversation starter, Min. I wanted to draw you out of your shell.

Shell. Eggshell. Get it?

:D
 
Don't take that tone with me, missy. I promise I'll turn this car around and none of us will go to Disneyland.

You wouldn't dare
 
Before WWI hurricanes were a possibility of any storm that broached the horizon in mid-afternoon. If the wind was fast enough - hurricane. If not, the party was worth the effort. After all, no business stayed open.

Radar ruined the hurrican party. Before, there was just the season. And the occasional legend.

Let's face it. A category 3 would destroy everything (Louisianan) until New Orleans. Frances has to go throught Florida first, but it's not out of the question. We worry.
 
Weather on TV has become just like the news. It's entertainment, and the more extreme the forecasts are, the more entertaining it is. It can't snow up here anymore without TV weathermen getting all hysterical and calling for the end of the world, and it's not enough for them to report the temperature anymore: they report the wind-chill factor, which takes into account the wind and sounds much more serious than just the temp. They like to tell you how long it would take for exposed flesh to freeze solid.

In the summer we get the "Discomfort Index", and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we have the "Mediocrity Coefficient" for those days that are neither too hot nor too cold.

They're very fond of the humidity percentage and heat index here. Oh, and the little pollution graph.
 
Everyone knows weather is caused by multimedia corporations that control mother nature and thus give them better viewer ratings as well as promoting all weather gear. The have a stronghold on sales of rain gear, lumber, bottled water, snow shovels , bread and milk.

They are also in possesion of magic weather elves who must obey their every command.

I hope this clears things up.:cool:
