The party's over in New Orleans! - Page 2

Pumpy Tudors · 09-15-2004, 01:57 PM

I'm in Memphis right now, at my mother-in-law's house. No worries about me. I'm fine. Now I'm just worried about my stuff still in the house in NOLA. Oh well. At least it's better than worrying about my life or my family.

Huckleberry · 09-15-2004, 01:59 PM

Good luck, man.

And could you update your profile location? I despise inaccuracy. pls k thx

Pumpy Tudors · 09-15-2004, 02:01 PM

I should update my profile location because I'm going to be in Memphis for three days?

Pumpy Tudors · 09-15-2004, 02:03 PM

Done.

sachmo71 · 09-15-2004, 02:05 PM

Eaglesfan27...didn't mean to leave you off the "where are they" list. Just forgot you were down there. You know, because you are an Eaglesfan? See?

Anyway, glad you are safe.

albionmoonlight · 09-15-2004, 02:10 PM

I'm in Carolina, and my family has moved to safer grounds. Thanks for the concern and prayers.

(Though if it wasn't for you guys' prayers on Flasch's behalf, the storm would have probably hit Florida, so I don't really know if I should be thanking you or not

)

Huckleberry · 09-15-2004, 02:11 PM

Whew. Okay, now I can read your posts without angry thoughts.

Same here. I could lose a lot of property. Oh well, least all of our family is safe.

Dola -

No problem, Sachmo. I wouldn't expect people to think of an Eaglesfan as a New Orleans resident. In my case, I spent the first 18 years of my life in southern NJ. I moved here because Mrs. Eaglesfan was born and raised in the New Orleans area (Metairie to be exact.) As a result, we moved down here a little over 4 years ago for her to be closer to friends/family.

More tidbits of trivia...ten years ago when South Georgia flooded, it caused many graveyards to give up their bodies. There were many floating caskets miles from their "final" resting place, and it caused great headaches and heartaches trying to find who they were and where they belonged. Since then, almost (maybe all. I don't know if it was a federal law) every casket made comes with a water tight, screw-in tube to place a slip of paper with all the vitals of the deceased.

GrantDawg · 09-15-2004, 04:15 PM

dola: Actually, Eaglesfan was the first I thought of. Glad you're ok.

Suicane75 · 09-15-2004, 04:16 PM

I just wanna make clear that i'm not trying to make light of a bad situation.
Sometimes your brain just flickers and a funny idea pops out.
I hope everyone in or around the area is safe.

Personally, I thought it was hilarious and it gave me a good laugh on a day in which I'm quite tired and needed a good laugh

JeeberD · 09-15-2004, 05:11 PM

So when I'm in Houston this weekend to see some Astros games the city is going to be inundated with displaced New Orleaners? Ewww...

Just kidding, hope everyone stays safe and that the storm misses the Big Easy..

I read that article too this morning and had wanted to visualize this. Those are awesomely scaring pictures of such ants.

To those connected to Pensacola-Mobile-NO, godspeed.

You going to watch the Astros spank the Cardinals?? I wish I was there for that.

BTW this is Ms GoldenEagle... shhhh don't tell him I was here.

Ah yes, the mysterious Astros-loving girlfriend. I believe we've chatted over AIM before...

No, not going to be able to see them spank the Cards. I'll be in town Saturday and Sunday to see them dismantle the Brewers. Hopefully those will be very important games in the Astros wildcard run...

Schmidty · 09-15-2004, 06:55 PM

Are you guys going to still think of this thread as "brilliant" and "classic' when you hear about the lives that were destroyed or devastated by this storm? Just curious.

Personally, I think making a joke out of the pain of your countrymen to be pathetic and selfish.

Yeah, because we should all be collectively miserable all the time every time something tragic happens in this country.

I see what you're saying, but honestly, lighten up. Nobody's making a joke about anybody's specific pain here... photoshopping Dolph Lundgren's head over Hurricane Ivan is just pretty damned funny, whether it's headed for New Orleans or just drifting harmlessly over the open sea.

Wait just a god damned minute, I've seen post posts of levity by you in similiar situations. Seems to me you pick and choose your moments or righteousness.

I can only recall one - A post about Princess Diana being dead. I was drunk when I posted it, and think I apologized later.

Suicane75 · 09-15-2004, 10:42 PM

Well i'm sorry if you don't like it, I think I made it clear how I hope everyone involved is ok, it's just a picture.
