Gather round and hear the tale of my harrowing battle with the hurricane. First there was rain. Then there was more rain. And a little thunder. And the power flashed off twice, making me lose my progress in the videogame I was playing. Then I had a beer.
And thus ended the siege of the hurricane. Hope everyone else is doing well.
first, hehehehehehe
And after I spent all that time writing you up a eulogy.
What Videogame?!?
Frank, you must be the bravest Floridian ever. All we get up here in Ohio is tornados.
You lost progress in a videogame? Oh, the HUMANITY!
I think we should all mourn the loss of the progress Frank made in the video game.
Frank, I recommend looking into taking legal action against the hurricane. Hell, some woman did it in AZ a few years back. She sued God for a thunderstorm, and she won! God has yet to pay up, though.
I wonder how you serve GOD with legal papers?
Glad to hear you are ok. Asked your sister what you were doing during the hurricane. She had no idea and didn’t care. I can feel the love in your family. And again, what video game?
I wonder how you serve GOD with legal papers?
You shoot a lawyer.
Even if God doesn’t get the papers, well, no loss really.
Blatant plug: see here for my own hurricane story.
Spiderman 2. I like climbing up the Empire State Building and then jumping off.
Welcome back to the land of the living….. and the land of ANNOUNCEMENTS….!!!!
You big faker. Can I still have your stuff?
Jebus Christ, Frank!
You’ve never heard the old gaming adage: ‘Save Early. Save Often!’
Jack.
man. this is turning into a stinkin’ online journal.
Spiderman 2 is fun. I’m sorry for your loss.
Anyway, I wasn’t kidding about the eulogy. See the comments to the post where you died.
chris, i’m pretty sure you were wrong about the will. surely he wouldn’t leave his babe empty handed. and i guess there’s no reason for me to give you my # now that frank’s back.
frank can call me, though. 🙂
::waits impatiently by the phone::
He’s alive! ALIVE!!!
Let’s all dance the SMITE egyptian dance of relief!

“surely he wouldn’t leave his babe empty handed”
Well, I didn’t say I was the only one in the will, just that I was in it. We can both be in the will.
YOU EVIL HIPPY!
But, wait! I think I have just stumbled upon Frank’s secret identity. He died before he was alive. Only one man could pull off such a flip-flop, and that man is Massachusetts senator, John F. Kerry! Unless Frank actually did die, and then got resurrected, in which case his secret identity is Jesus! Ha! You can’t sneak one past me, Jesus!
Actually you are still cool and I knew it was a joke from the beginning, but you’re still an evil hippy all the same!
The buss for lynching Frank will leave at 6, don’t be late, and bring your own packed lunch.
sorry to hear about the video game.
Dude, you live in a hurricane zone and you don’t have a UPS? What sort of electronic engineer are you?
Hey, my mom is always telling me that I can’t use the computer or play videogames during a thunderstorm! Next time that happens, I can say, “Well, Frank J did it.”
Frank, did a guy in black robes show up to play chess with you?
I agree with Sarah K, where’s the typical post? The last posts hold a spot at myspace.com, not IMAO. Frank, let’s get it together.
Hey, I don’t do regular posts on the weekend if I post at all. Frank needs Frank time.
First!….on the “Test”, but I couldn’t post there!!
And damn, now the “test” is gone. So I wasn’t first? Loud, sobbing, wracking cries of despair
OOhhhhhhhhhhhh Thank God! Frank is ALIVE!!!!! I never Reeeealy belived it, but still the HORROR if it Was true was enough to nag at me through the night. Whew!
By the way, whilst reading IMAO yesterday, my 8 year old son was nearby. “What’s that spell, mom? IMAO?” I told him noooooobody knows. Frank won’t tell! Well he suggested sending in the Air Force to MAKE Frank tell! Would that work? I didn’t have the heart to tell him about the S.M.I.T.E. program. Inquiring minds want to know!
Also, now that you’re alive again, can we PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEase have that butt shot now?
lol@MarginMi
I always thought that IMAO translated into: ‘In My Assinine Opinion’, Margin.
Though a SMITE defended ALCM an GLCM attack on Frank Central would look kinda cool!
I always assumed the IMAO stood for ‘In my arrogant opinion’. Traditionally IMHO stands for ‘In my humble opinion’- therefore, if you invert the ‘humble’ you get ….
International
Monkey
Assassin
Organiz/sation

POW!!

I have chilled out since yesterday.
Well, if Frank J. were ever in the military, I would have to bet on In My Area of Operation, which means pretty much the same thing as in In My World…
So Frank, how was the land of wind and shadows?
Well glad to hear you’re okay Frank! I guess the rumours of your demise were greatly exaggerated… by you! I’d send Rummy after you, but it looks like Monster Kabasue is already on the ball. Good thing since I think I missed the bus.
As far as Spidey goes.. At least you weren’t playing anyone of the Final Fantasy games… I have played those darn games for hours without finding a save spot. (and once yes, the power did go out just as I got to one! “%^&%^*^, &&%&%$%!! Why God?!!”
Frankie, you had it easy. You had videogames and beer. I had an eyewall, power out for two days, and WARM BEER.
So since you had it easier than me, I hereby invoke the Hurricane Survivor’s Clause: You are now INVOKED to make
THE ANNOUNCEMENT
So get to it..
Slab out.
“I always thought that IMAO translated into: ‘In My Assinine Opinion'”
More like, ‘In My Assish Opinion’ or ‘Intendedly Masterful And Osculating’. You figure the last one out.
For those trying to sue God, I recommend the Australian movie “the Man Who Sued God” starring Billy Connelly and a left wing sympathiser. It is very good, even if it is set in Sydney, and not the real Melbourne (the Australian one, Frank, that doesn’t have typhoons!!) (And it’s too cold for monkeys!!)
Frank’s ALIVE?
That’s great news!
Unfortunately I’m already in the middle of my ritual suicide from having heard of his death (as all good ronin should), and my guts are all over the floor.
Now I have to put them all back and clean up before I lose consciousness.
Glad you’re alive, Frank. I’d have died without IMAO.
I was in South Carolina during Charley, but I slept through it. According to my family, there was only a bit of wind and rain.
That makes one earthquake and one hurricane that I’ve slept through (and I live in Illinois!)
