Whodat from the Hurricane

xan · 08-27-2011, 03:50 PM

I fear for loss of power, and thereby losing the opportunity to see the Saints on National TV tomorrow night. As Irene bears down on Joisee, and the possibility of not participating in tomorrow evening's in-game chat, I would like to ask one of the devoted to take my place as the snarky doomsayer.

It is not hard to channel, just think back to the 43 years of frustration and let the complex bouquet of feelings dominate your assessment of even the most minor of action.

Thanks and Geaux Saints!

Saints suck.

Nah, not snarky enough.

Got to think of something more clever.

I can't take your place Xan, but please be careful. God bless and be safe.

Already flooding. Just 10 more hours of bailing. And we're near the top of a hill!

Thanks guys. It could be worse.

Not trying to be a bad guy, and I feel for ya, but tell me something. You think the Panthers, Jets and Giants fans are laughing about a hurricane hitting NO now? Just saying.

I hope you are Ok man & have power & can watch the game!!

You would thik the whole sky fell according to the news.

No one is laughing now. But then, nj and ny believe in federal assistance, so we may be in better shape than most. I just hope they invest in the electrical grid in the future because it may be a week before power is restored.

Giants and eagles fans are freaked out. Jets fans too drunk to notice.

Our problem is that the surge forced water into where our runoff would go, and we only have gravity seewers, no assist.

Thanks for all the positive vibe. Kept the damage down to 10 inches in the basement and up to now only 1 missed preseason game.

If I get some juice on my cell, I'll check in to chat and get your knowledge on the state of the state. Be well everyone
