I'm not looking forward to hurricane Bonnie...I have a frienemy named Bonnie and she's pretty much 5 times the attention whore I am, so she will make it a big deal.

You do realize there is a thread (as has there been every year since 2002) in the Lounge. Thus far I've abstained from making my annual plea for NC to FINALLY get a decent hurricane, preferably well inland. It boggles the mind to think that Fran was 15 years ago. Commence the hate and bewilderment about someone actually wishing for a hurricane to hit here. I will preface by saying, go fuck yourself.

Hurricane is one of Rihanna's best songs

I mean it really picks up late August through September and October.

7/18/2010 10:23:45 PM

^ Haha. Good call. I am not sure how I messed that up. I knew the year just fine. Official 2011 Hurricane Season Thread?

7/19/2010 12:16:18 AM

and i'm with you. NC needs a good beating from a hurricane. preferably without massive flooding, but whatever. and now,

Fucking bitch I saw this thread was bumped and I got all excited because I haven't been checking the tropics.

7/19/2010 12:39:39 AM

This one is getting more structure to it

7/19/2010 4:53:21 PM

then post in the proper thread in The Lounge.

7/19/2010 4:56:12 PM

I don't venture over to the lounge much. There is no harm in a chat chat hurricane thread.

No need to get upset over this one.

It's getting closer to a depression.

7/23/2010 11:53:56 AM

Tropical Storm Colin was all like "Screw you guys, I'm going home"

8/4/2010 2:52:39 PM

Whatever was left of Colin isn't going to mess with us.

8/5/2010 8:19:15 AM

Guess who's back....back again

Colin's back...tell a friend.

Luckly I don't think we have to worry about it...

8/5/2010 11:15:26 PM

do you want me to die in a hurricane or something?

8/5/2010 11:18:23 PM

man shit i lived in swansboro back in the day when there was like 324567 hurricanes

8/5/2010 11:27:21 PM

I've lived through several myself.

Just you wait...when the weather channel gets here I'll be in the background drinking beer and acting a fool.

8/5/2010 11:28:47 PM

are there any trailer parks on the sound with decent rent down there.

8/5/2010 11:30:52 PM

like rent for a week, or long term rent?

I think there are (for both)...especially now since summer is winding down.

8/5/2010 11:32:42 PM

^ Do you keep an emergency supply of liquor and beer incase of hurricanes?
