Geez, it's like playing "Galaga"

[skids]

...except you cannot move.

Or fire.

Just sit there and hope the evil things don't hit you.



Now we've got Philippe, but #18, which will probably be Rita very soon, looks much more dangerous to me.

1. Phillipe? Is that the puppy of the Coast of Venezuela? Why is he

given a French name?

Doesn't look good. Wake me up when it is over.

[skids]

3. Personally I think they should delay "Rita"

...and name the one above Puerto Rico "Quixote"

They are short on letters after all...

[txindy]

5. Have they ever run through the alphabet in one season?

What would they do then? Start over again with new names?

[benburch]

8. If they run out, they go to greek letters, I believe...

alpha, beta, gamma, etc...

2. Lemme at 'em

I ruled on Galaga, could play it until the counter "flipped" past level 255 on a single quarter.

[Richard Steele]

9. If that's true, then I want you to take charge of FEMA.

Is your experience irrelevant?
SURE! You bet yer ass it's irrelevant!

Still beats getting FIRED from a job enforcing
horse-judging standards!
(seriously: what "job" could be more make-believe than that?
Is their someone out there penalizing rich people for
waxing their Hummers improperly?
Is their some national agency who FINES millionaires
if their poolboys haircut fails to meet standards?

I'm asking seriously: can anyone here even IMAGINE
a "job" more IRRELEVANT than the one
Mr. Brown was FORCED TO LEAVE BY LAWSUITS?)

This asshat couldn't even hold a PRETEND job
without getting SUED up the wazoo!

Charlie, your GALAGA skills are practically PRESIDENTIAL
in comparison!

10. LOL

I accept. Looking forward to adding Designated Fall Guy For The President to my resume. I could fail upward into exciting executive positions I'd never dreamed of, when my 10 minutes were up.

4. Phillipe is going northward and not FL; living near the TX coast,

I'm very worried about the next one, Rita. :scared:

[oasis]

6. It's time Chimpy's expert scientists took another look at global warming.

:think:

[skids]

7. Oh don't worry, there's plenty of time for that and for the "blame game"

We'll have real emergency management people in charge of FEMA by the time the next bad storm hits.

Promise! :eyes:

[nonconformist]

11. Dammit, now I feel a desire to fire up the N64 for a game of Galaga

:freak:

[skids]

12. UPDATE: 5mph shy of becoming "Rita", and another!

Not good:



...and what may become #19 is out to the East of Phillipe.
