Yeah that was fugly wasn't it? But it still showed his chest to good effect.

I appreciate men. And I find some men quite pleasing to the eye.

I just don't want to fuck them.

Probably much the same way you feel about women.

Edited to say I know TM, I'm sorry.

Thoughts:
1. That Starbucks is doing booming business today...
2. There probably is sewage in that water, as the sewage system is backed up and whatever was in the sewage system is commingling with the water from the flooded body of water...

When we get a huge downpour here that overwhelms the sewer system, the city may let the storm water runoff into Lake Michigan to prevent people's basements from flooding. Sometimes results in beach closings for a day or two when they have to do this due to bacteria.

this isn't debate camp
 

The sad thing is, you're looking at yourself in five years.

This looks rather sticky.

They are both fine mammal specimens.

You know the thing about Halle Berry is....I'm not a lesbian and I still want to fuck her.

Damn, she's hot.

The Chicago area generally has separated systems, and the actual "sewage" isn't released, ever. The runoff drainage system is "cleansed" to a lesser degree than sewage normally, but its the drainage system that is opened in a storm.

In the late 80's era, the EPA was actually mandating inspections in some suburbs to ensure that people had sump pumps which weren't feeding into the sewage lines ( and thus overloading them during a storm).

Hello

There is an excellent chance that it is sewage. Once the flooding starts, you don't know what else gets into the river. Especially in places like DC where the storm and waste sewer systems are one in the same.

Bottom line, don't go frolicking in the flood waters.

Which brings you back to ThrashersFan, right?

T. (TM ketchup) S.

In some parts of the South, when it floods, the two things you worry about most are above-ground propane tanks, and caskets.

Think "buoyancy."

Death Question
 

I was like this for a day or two after my grandfather died, and it wasn't that I didn't want anyone to know -- it just took a while to register.

Did anyone ever tell these guys it's 'six feet under' not 'six inches under' for a reason? Jesus.

Those are the fuckers that almost ran me off the river this morning!

Five? Fuck that. More like two. But I'll have a ladder.

I'm at work because we have running water here - at home don't even have H2) to boil!

On November 13, Atticus Grinch was asked ...
 

You're giving him props for that? How hard can it be to rotate through Great Anal Retentives of Sitcom History?

Yawn. Wake me when he gets to Joe from "Wings."

Question about sex
 

Wouldn't that be into her?

TM

Between you and atticus, the fun would never stop.

Question about sex
 

Sheesh, TM is fixated enough on butt-sex in general so I would appreciate it if you didn't focus him onto my ass specifically.



Edit: Too late.

But what do you do about the awkward pause that comes immediately after?

No, wait, never mind.

Hey, go dig a six foot hole in New Orleans or near the Everglades. I think that you'd have to go a lot deeper to avoid bad stuff happening in flooding. It's that whole "swampy" thing.

They probably do, but running flood water (say, from a river breaking its banks) causes stupid-fast erosion of disturbed soil --- soil that's already been dug once.

On November 13, Atticus Grinch was asked ...
 

Classic. Swoon. You had me at hello.

Hmmm. In that case I think I'd go for scattering ashes. I really don't want to wake up one soggy morning and see a loved one floating by.

New Orleans is a special case, because they follow the European riverside city tradition of using above-grade sarcophagi for the reason you mention --- high water table.

I don't know whether the N.O. sarcophagi are subject to long-term leases, as they are in Paris, where the family or some trust is eventually responsible to make arrangements for the ultimate disposition of the skeletonized remains.

I didn't see the umbrellas.

Good point. There are some beautiful women and I don't want to have sex with any of them. I think Halle is quite beautiful, as much as I hated her in Monster's Ball. I don't turn away from pictures of her.

I'll give you the above-ground tanks, but I worry much more about snakes and floating ant beds than caskets. Caskets don't bite.

Man, you people can turn a simple snide-ass comment about people frolicking in sewage to a whole 'nother level.

Now I'm getting the urge to go find my old Ray Bradbury books again.

Don't speak too soon. Grandma may come in handy as an escape vehicle.

Personal K
 

Dammit. What the hell? What's the deal with my post numbers?
Did I miss my personal K? I don't think I did. I wasn't that close.

I ordered an "I Love Atticus Grinch" t-shirt from Urban Outfitters today
 

Shoot -- now I can't use that one. Ah well. At least there's still Carlton from "The Fresh Prince."

And, for the record, it wasn't just a mere Atticus-as-Felix post. As you noted, that would rate a resounding "duh." Rather, the post was inspired by the Muse whispering "Sebby-as-Oscar" into my ear.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

OK, if that's the one, I can live with my personal K being a repost of a hot pic of Shemar Moore.

Everyone will think that you're a gay man. [standard disclaimer]

especially if it's the thong picture. nttawwt. well, there is something wrong with the thong, but I guess there's nothing wrong with people liking the picture. if they mentally crop it at the waist. or they are gay men. nttawwt.

Pause? Hell, at that point someone generally brings up the issue of the desirability of the Teflon coatings on the newer check valves, the conversation then jumps to the accepted methods of reporting capacity ratings on lift stations, and, well, at some point that seems like five minutes later we all look around to see the sun coming up, and we have to tear ourselves away.

Paigow will be so distraught when she learns she missed the sewage talk.

She's too busy kayaking in it to care.
