Silly rant on names of Hurricans
I think it is silly to name storms, although there is a psychological reason humans do such.
I think a comedian sometime in the past touched upon this silliness. But without being able to remember who it was, I do share the same sentiment in that if we are going to name these storms, they should have realistic names.
Like,
"You're fucked"
"Bulldozer"
"Kiss your ass goodbye"
"I'm going to make you roadkill"
"Get the fuck out of the way"
"Life's a bitch ain't it"
"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and nonbelievers."Obama

Lol, had some spare time?
Everything makes more sense now that I've stopped believing.
How about:
"Fizzle", "Missed!", "Blown Out", "Too Tired"
and similar for those that aren't the threat they were supposed to be.
-- I feel so much better since I stopped trying to believe.

I know it is far worse when a cat-5 hits, or any cat for that matter. But I also hate the dick tease hurricanes that aim their gun at you, peter out, and then go "HA, made you look".
How about leaving me the fuck alone nature, jeeze. Not like I really have a choice what a hurricane does.

suggestion. The last thing you want is to have to tell the insurance company your house was bowled over by Hurricane Horace.

Yeah, I was waiting for a tax client.

I think we should name them after the fact based on their attitudes:
Katrina: Hurricane Bitch
Rita: Hirricane Bitches sister
Ivan: Hurricane Houston-you've-got-a-problem...

I used to live in VA in the center of that state, but about 5 years ago I moved to south and to the coast of the Carolinas where my mom lives to help take care of her.

Sometimes I think the Hurricane scares by the media cause more economic damage than actual storms. My 20 years in Florida have seen many of these. So far, 2004 was the worst year for me, with Charley, Frances, and Jeanne all 3 severely affecting my life. Frances killed one of my friends in Daytona Beach so I have personal animosity for storms.

I allways thought its hillariousd and absolutely fitting that the biggest hurricans are named after women. I mean they are like a really hot and young chick. Everybody warns you about her. You think you have made all neccessary precautions. Then its getting really wild and heavy. Then you realize you have forgotten some precautions. Then she is gone and has taken your house and half your stuff with her. I mean they are practically indistinguishable.
