I openly want another place to take the hit. It's dick I know, but a direct here could be catastrophic. We're pretty much surronded by water. Our coastline is ill prepared for this, and not to mention that New Orleans is a bowl. As bad as it for everybody else, SE Louisiana has the potential to be much worse.

Oh, by that I meant "Mexico." If NO took a direct hit from a Hurricane, we're all fucked. Talk about Hiroshimized.

Sounds like a good deal to me. While Isle of Debris is thought to be the lowest, I'm a firm believer that you can you can put cigarettes out on the table felt at Casino Magic without attracting any attention.

GOD BLESS BOSSIER CITY AND B.J. RYAN REAL GOOD, Y'HEAR.

If it hit Mexico, Dennis might actually being doing them a favor. Just kiddin'.

i feel the same way. the storms last year were a real pain in the ass down here.

"That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia...."

ha, don't miss this stuff at all. Lemme guess... your power was out and it was up to 87 degrees in your house without the AC.

And Dunwoody, I feel your pain... not all of Atlanta is bad, but it is definitely not "the city too busy to hate" as they purport themselves to be.

Hey now. The thread title is a Tony Joe White song, so don't go pissing on it with that Vicki "Mama's Family" Lawrence bullshit around here, even if it is pertinent to your point.

Oh, I most definitely know all Atlanta is not bad. I'm pretty sure the Atlanta crew right here on Obner would (within reason) do what they could if they saw some hateful shit going down.

It's a shame too because my wife loves NASCAR. Knows all the drivers and everything.

It's tough to allow others to dictate what you and your wife can or can't do together, but it would be foolish to put ourselves in a weird situation just to make a point.

By the way, an 18 year old kid and his friends were out "playing" in the floodwaters; the kid got sucked into a drainpipe and drowned.

This all happened in Peachtree City: Hometown of dnorwood,Busty,Cap'N, Sen., and yours truly.(and shit, albion lives there)

So I got two inches of flooding on my brand new flooring in my new house. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Yay I pissed off Cory!

DAMN! Rich white kids don't get sucked into drainage pipes... he must've been visiting from Jonesboro.

Am I the only one who guffawed at that? Jonesboro... heh.

<----sitting in his office.....in Jonesboro.

oh, snap, I'm sorry Yail... at least you work there, not live there. It could be worse... you could be in Riverdale, or (gulp) Palmetto.

please tell me this slogan has not actually been used.

I can't do that. It was a big slogan prior to the 96 Olympics. Even had it on billboards along the highway.

I thought he was probably from "Reeferdale"

as an aside, I watched the fireworks in Lenox on Monday night, and while people were oohing/ahhing and yelling I let out a very loud "Coo Coo RIVERDALE!!" people were shocked and disgusted.

That is a kinda weird story. Any bets on the chemicals found in the poor sap's body?

Yeah, its a place to make money not necessarily to raise a family.

And FYI, I spent most of my growing up years in unincorporated Coweta County somewhere between Sharpsburg and (gulp) Palmetto....*mixture of pride,shame, and something like the mind altering effects of livng near high-tension power lines*

How many Loog stories end in people being shocked and/or disgusted? I'm gonna say it's more than half of them.

My mom grew up in Jonesboro. They just finally sold grandaddy's house there like a month ago. What ante-bellum charm Jboro had, say 30 years ago, has all but disappeared, and it is well on its way to becoming Riverdale's ugly, fat, twin sister. But then that's most of atlanta's suburbs... sprawl. Blech. I gots no love for strip malls.

Glad to hear Hersh weathered the storm. Your veggies do ok, or had you harvested them all already?

Hmmm. 18 years old? I say weed, booze and meth/ice.

Where's the Griffin love? Come on now....

Okay, I just told Dunwoody that all of Atlanta isn't bad, and yet I'm making blanket statements about Riverdale, Palmetto and Jonesboro.

Cap'n, true dat about the history of Jonesboro. I really hope the old section of Newnan doesn't go the same way, as they have some beautiful antebellum homes as well.

btw, heard from my sister that the kid who died in PTC was trying to pull another kid OUT of the drain to save him. That kid made it out, but the rescuer got stuck and died. How sad.

Jeez, I've said this so many times: they gotta make the drainage pipes bigger so's kids can play in the raging floodwaters safely.

Sounds like Mayor Brown needs to spring for some grate covers for them-there drainage pipes... keep the kids out. Damn, that is sad.
