Just kidding; she’s not lousy.
Yay work! There’s power, potable water for making coffee (all water from the tap needs to be boiled now), and internet. I’m probably going to stay here until curfew.
I have no power at home, but pretty much no damage either. Luckily there is trash pick up today to take the contents of my refrigerator (bye bye, Chunky Monkey). Yesterday, after I got back to my house, all I had to do was sit on my porch and read and say, “Damn! I’m hot!” Also, it’s pretty dark in my house since I’m not taking down the storm windows until I hear more about Ivan. For dinner, I cooked some Campbell’s soup on my gas grill and drank a warm Dos Equis (and smoked a cigarillo to help digestion).
Got a wake up call for work from my Dad (though two time zones away, he gets up at about the time I need to just take a shower and shave and get to work at 7:45am). You’d think a cold shower would be welcome after a hot night, but no. Me no like cold shower.
Anyway, I have over half a tank of gas which is good since gas is scarce. Also, most traffic lights are broken… and most people don’t know what to do at a four-way stop sign.
But you don’t care about that. I’ll probably stay late tonight and try to write up some regular humor posts. I mean, the Democrats have gone frick’n insane after that latest poll numbers, and I need to comment on that. Plus, I want to do a very special In My World™ on Chomps. BTW, you need to buy more Chomps t-shirts. Do so now.
Anyway, thanks again to Juggy for giving me a warm and dry place to stay during the hurricane. She’s the sweetest, bestest t-shirt babe ever (and she never got too mad at me for putting her cat in the lamp). When I get power and internet at home, I’ll have some pictures, including me singing karaoke at a biker bar.
Be honorable, ronin.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the magnolia tree looks like nothing even touched it.
FIRST off, I wanna know what “Juggy” is supposed to mean.
Yeah, me too. :-/
Glad you’re back Frank. Now write something funny damnit.
Amarillo is a dandy place to avoid a hurricane ain’t it. I don’t know that they’ve ever had one there. Something about being 600 miles inland and 3800 feet elevation just seems to discourage them. Kinda keep that under your hat though. We don’t really want a massive migration of retired yankees to west Tx.
STOP BUYING COMMIE ICE CREAM!
(Insert Howard Dean YAAARGH! here)
It would be interesting if you wrote a story from the point of view of Chomps, and provide some insight as to how he became the world’s angriest dog. Meanwhile, the Democrats in general and the Kerry campaign in particular are falling over each other generating fresh material for satire.
Good work on the tree, guys.
I told you a little glue and green spray paint and he’d have no clue what we did.
As long as he doesn’t look too closely and see that we filled in some of the rough spots with maple leaves.
If he does, tell him they must have blown there from Canada. Man, Frances was powerful!
Glad to hear nothing got totally smashed or destroyed, or otherwise got the shit beat out of it.
Just also wanted to point out a few stats on vietnam, iraq, and the US murder rates. more people die in one month from getting murdered in the US than have died in Iraq.

Re: “Juggy”…don’t y’all watch The Man Show?
I thought that was Juggie? Oh no wait, I think Juggies is the plural of juggy much like geese is the plural of goose or meese is the plural of moose! No.. Wait.. I.. Uh.. WTF? What is the plural of moose? Mooses? Meeses?
Help?
I should just by the chomps t-shirt & go to sleep now…
Oh! my golly goodness I just read a double meaning into the….
Frank,Frank, Frank, Frank ,Frank! gasp of utter horror!
“SarahK is not lousy…” is pretty darn close to a back-handed compliment which is sooo not good! You need to start praising her for being a gracious hostess and all or you are an utter cad and an R.A.B.!
Not that I’m all Feminazi & shit but, Hello! A girl needs an unqualified compliment ’cause even if we are republican, gun totin’ & stuff we are still kind of sensitive on the inside & need praise for being the wonderful girlie things we are!
So, next blog is devoted to SarahK & her fabulousness right? Right?!! (frowns brow, crosses arms & taps foot..)
I’d be extra careful about this next storm, Frank. Ivan sounds like a commie name and there’s an election coming up soon.
I am so culturally lost…I have never watched The Man Show. What is ‘Juggy’?! Is that a Good Thing?
Jugs is slang for, erm, bosoms, where I come from.
Juggy is a well-mamogland-uh something-or-othering-thingy-endowed woman. Okay she would have big old … well, think Dolly Parton- Dollywood- tig old bitties! size c++-etc… That’s a Juggy & beyond. Me, (okay…. other gals, except Obvious & stuff..) Wonking huge… Track ‘o land!!! (cheap monty python ref..)
Juggy is a good thing if you be a man who be mammary oriented & stuff…. (if you be a woman, you be saying’ “Bitch!”)
Dang well spoken Loki.
I applaud your wellspokenness.
Okay,
Have to include myself in that reference, (the Bitch! thingy)because I just cannot stand to insult the SarahK, (that & the fact that somehow by God’s good grace I am a size c…)
But xtra juggery-mammo-thingy-whatever. certain ladies do.. get more attention from the more masculine fellers. Big Boobs can be a good thing – If you have them 🙂 I don’t sigh Husband likes them anyway… and that is all that really matters! 🙂
Boy you are cruising for a bruising talking bout our lovely t-shirt babe like that.
Lousy..ha…I spit in your general direction. ptooie!
Re: BWmonger
This FL county does look like Chomps chewed on some of it. He seems to have gotten particularly angry at traffic lights.
Frank mentioned one of my latest pet peeves, people that don’t understand what to do at our new 4-way stops. Some examples:
1) When you are on the bigger road, sneak in behind the guy in front of you. “Hey, I came to a complete stop so I can go too, right?”
2) When you are on the smaller road, look sadly at other drivers when it is your turn. I try waving these people on but they usually just sit there and look sad. When I get stuck behind one of these folks, I also sit still and look sad. I would honk my horn but that would just add more stimulus to a troubled mind.
I should be sympathetic to hurricane victims but I have a hard time feeling sorry for adults that don’t know traffic laws.
Glad things are okay, Frank. I was shocked to see you back to blogging again so soon. Shocked but happy, for selfish reasons. We want the next episode of the Grand Canyon adventure, too, don’t forget … and then can we have episodes of the Hurricane Frances adventure …
I also thought it was hilarious that Kerry was showing off with a rifle he was given, which would have been banned if a bill he sponsored would have been passed … Rush was talking about it today … link on Drudge … anyway, that is ironic on so many levels there has to be some good humor in there somewhere … that man shows off with more guns than Frank J and Charleton Heston combined!! Liberals are hypocrites for not calling him on it (can you imagine the fake outrage if Bush did such a thing) and swing voters are gullible …
“Amarillo is a dandy place to avoid a hurricane ain’t it. I don’t know that they’ve ever had one there.”
Yeah, but Amarillo is tornado country. Would have been kind of ironic if Frank would have gone there to avoid a hurricane and been hit by a tornado.
yer welcome, Mr. Wonderful.
and LokiDoki, i’m definitely not any kind of C. well, when i had 20 more pounds on me, i was sometimes a C-.
potable water means “drinkable” not “needs to be boiled” right? yup…thats what the dictionary says
Always loved the odds on tornado vs. hurricane. Sure, tornados are badder, more focused..
But hurricanes cover that real estate. If you aren’t right where the tornado is, you’re cool.
Yea, but somehow they ALWAYS manage to find whatever trailer park is in the vicinity…
As requested.
