Know Thy Enemy: Hurricanes

Hurricane Bill has been downgraded to a tropical depression, so, just after the nick of time, here’s some info on hurricanes. I have lived in Florida for over two years now, which, though I’ve never actually seen a hurricane, makes me qualified to talk about them from all the second-hand information I’ve heard. So, without further ado:
FUN FACT ABOUT HURRICANES
* Hurricanes involve wind… and rain too, I think.
* Hurricanes only attack near the coastline, because further inland is ruled by the tornados who don’t take kindly to other weather anomalies moving in on their territory.
* The main differences between a hurricane, a tropical storm, and a depression are their spellings and pronunciations.
* Jerry Fallwell says hurricanes are caused by too many people being homosexuals, so stop it already, guys; those storm windows look hard to put up.
* I talked to some guy who said he shot a hurricane with a .45, but that didn’t stop it. A .44 magnum probably will, then.
* A true samurai should be able to stand down a hurricane and defeat it with one mighty stroke of his blade. I won’t do it though, because it might mess up my sword.
* I just saw this movie Zaitoichi about a blind samurai, and it was really cool.
* I’ve strayed off topic.
* When a hurricane attacks, most people will flee inland, which will mean the beaches will be nice and empty for those of us who aren’t a bunch of pussies.
* Hurricanes used to always be given female names because hurricanes are destructive, random, and capricious, just like women. That custom was stopped, though, when women got all whiny and moody about it.
* No one is sure what causes a hurricane, but it comes from the sea so the most likely candidates are Poseidon, sea monkeys, or France. We should do a preemptive strike against all of them.
* A hurricane, unlike the platypus, does not lay eggs.
* If a hurricane charges you, just strike it on the nose to ward it away.
* In a fight between a hurricane and Aquaman, Aquaman would end up stuck in some power lines somewhere with no fish to talk to.
* In Mexico, Aquaman is known as Hombre del Agua.
* I’ve gone off topic again.
* This arab guy I met told me that hurricanes are just a Zionist conpiracy to run up insurance costs. Joooos!!
* Most times we’ll have plenty of notice for a hurricane because it will storm in right off the sea. Sometimes, though, it will sneak in wearing a hat and a trench coat. If you see someone in a hat and a trench coat, pull them off and shout, “Aha! A hurricane!” Most of the time, it will actually be some guy and you’ll look pretty stupid, but, if one time it actually is a hurricane, people will be like, “Wow! You’re smart.”
* All hurricanes want is attention, so the best defense is to just ignore them, even if it rips off the roof of your house.
* I once thought I saw a hurricane, but it ended up that it was a gopher.
* That was sort of on topic.

  1. My 5-year-old nephew was watching the news with me and saw Hurricane Bill. He wanted to know what it was and how it came about. I told him:
    Hurricanes like Bill are born on the ocean. They move inland and destroy homes, towns, and people’s lives when little 5-year-old boys ask stupid questions.

  2. Once again, another outrageous universal attempt to dominate, subjugate and repress the female species! Why aren’t they called HIMicanes? Why HURricanes? Huh? Answer me, you male chauvinist PIG!
    SISTERS! Rise up against this intolerable injustice! Kick a male in the testes today!

  3. I live in south Louisiana, and Bill came thru here yesterday. I gotta say, though, he caused a lot less damage than the one named Clinton.
    A much smaller windbag, for sure.
    Heh, heh.

  4. Hurricanes are what happens to all those farts cows and humans and pregnant dogs and French people let out into the air. They wander aimlessly over land and eventually breed over the ocean, forming vast fart herds that can cover great stretches of water. When they grow too big, they then stampede violently back onto the coast, lemming-like, seeking revenge against the creatures that cast them out.

  5. VRWC On The Links…

    Time now to go across the blogsphere with essential links. Emporer Misha is raving mad, and after reading this post by the Dissident Frogman, I can only say that I am more so. Frank J. over at IMAO informs us…

  6. I’m here to tell you right now that no samurai can take on a hurricane. I took my van out to where this “Bill” was located. I called it’s mother a ho and swung my mighty sword at it.
    Well, it took my sword and flung it back at me, giving me about an inch before it made me available for conversion to Judaism, if you catch my drift….
    Then, I was all like “Oh, hell no, take this you punk-azz beyotch!” and I threw my rosary and a bottle of holy water at it. The hurricane STOPPED in mid twirl, looked at me and just went in a booming voice:
    “N-Word, Please!”
    Then it caught me into its Vortex o’ Doom and I got my picture in the paper and the headline was “Local Dumbass Dressed Up Like Samurai To Fight Hurricane, Hillary Ensued”
    After all that and I still aint linked to IAMO!

  7. Damn, and I, living in Minnesota ( hence Vikings fan) thought it was funny to tell my Cheesehead co-worker,Bill, from Wisconsin ( thus Packer fan) after he commented that they named a hurricane after him , that ‘Yeah, it’s just like you- full of wind and all wet’ was funny, then I read these comments…Franks readers are as insane as he is…wait, I read so, uh forget that last part..!

  8. Bill never reached Hurricane strength (winds of 74 mph). Don’t refer to Bill as something he isn’t, because he’s a wimp compared to the Hurricanes we get in NC (Floyd, Bertha, Bonnie, Fran), so don’t insult us with that wimpy Tropical Storm. Hahaha.

  9. Frank report

    Frank has the lowdown on his brother’s wedding, and promises pictures. He also reminds those in Isabel’s path to check out his hurricane tips. Frank, I really laughed to see your link to “Earl’s Lies about Frank J”, but the really good lies are at the …
