Keep Our Australian Friends In Your Prayers
Typhoon Monica is really going to suck:
Monica is now over Australia's Wessel Islands, making Monica a far worse hurricane than anything seen in the Atlantic last summer. At 879 mb, Monica is stronger than the dreaded hurricanes Wilma, Katrina and Rita ever were, never mind at landfall. The symmetry seen is Monica is flawless and it is rare to every see a tropical system look so well-defined.... The models are very consistent with a track just along the northern coast turning inland near Darwin. Such a pass by a category 5 cyclone along the coast would be very devastating to the whole region. Darwin residents should be prepared for a strike on Tuesday.
Look at this bitch:
Please take care guys!

It must be divine punishment for Australia's legal prostitution.

Australia has legal prostitution? And no one told me?

When does the hurricane hit Nevada, Reverend? I might invest in Home Depot around there.
And Ken: Not many goats in Australia, I hear. Could be disappointing. ;-P

Blast from the past: After our devastating floods in the winter of '82 some jackass from Ohio wrote a letter to the SF CommieCall, saying that the terrible floods and loss of life were God's vengeance on SF for condoning homosexuality.
Completely missed the fact that the floods completely missed SF. Feckin' moron.

Those of us still on medication from the past 2 years here see these doctored satellite photographs as needlessly insensitive and provocative.

"Medication"? Like Bombay Sapphire?

Trying to gin up some controversy there, B?

Agreed!
Make mine a vodka tonic (the tonic in case of malaria from the mosquitoes breeding in the standing water left behind...).
