Too late. It's as calm as a muthafucker... except for all the police and firetruck sirens.
Well yeah, I meant go find some damage.
How about my psyche? How about my disappointment? You can't photograph that shit... except for my sad-clown face.

Did anyone happen to see Dolemite?
Because, you know, he's the Human Tornado.

I guess he lost his touch.
Well, it was a good ride while it lasted. I'll tell ya as much as I enjoyed the title, I will not miss my jaw hurting constantly.
I'm off the professional cunnilingus circuit for the time being, I will still be acting in sort of an advisory role for some a few of the leading cunnilingus companies out there but as far as active competition, I'm out. Gotta heal up.
Maybe you could just retire from international competition and stick with it for your club team.

Man, do I miss tornado sirens. And rain.
I hope that all are well in Chicagoland. I haven't heard anything on the news so I assume there was no touch-down there.

The real question is whether or not the Illinois Legislature will act quickly to ban tornadoes in the state. Tornadoes present a real threat to the well-being of the citizenry of Illinois.
By the way, I find no evidence of any tornado having come close to Chicago. I see reports of penny-sized hail in Palatine and stiff breezes in the city.
Small children in North Dakota and Iowa play kickball and fly kites in the shit that you people describe.
Did you people even see a funnel cloud? Do you even know what one looks like?
Come to think of it, Chicago could use a good tornadoing. A big
F5er.
I'm all for it.
In retrospect, I should have stepped off
the stage and utter-kicked Mrs. O'Leary's cow.

I remember that show. Mad tornado. Think it was an F4, cause I saw a
beaver and an oven flying through the air, fighting.

It only took two years, but I found a new sig. Big thanks BRW!
This will also mark the third time in three years that the EAS things went off in my South Evanston hood. Alas I am not in E-Town for this one. I have been in Phoenix playing "By the time I get to Arizona" for all the ASU melanoma society meetings at the pool of my fucking gated apartment community.
I'm getting back on Wednesday and couldn't be happier.

I was at a McDonald's about a half mile from Ohare, waiting for my buddy's plane to arrive (was only about 4 hours late, after being diverted to Detroit) and the storm got mad, fast. I saw lightning hit the same pole three times in about a minute, a pole that was maybe 500 or 1000' from where I was parked. Tutku called to tell me there was a tornado warning for all these areas that are like 15 blocks from our home, where she was. she said it was pretty crazy, with the windows becoming concave and convex. when I got home (about 4 hours late) and tried to drive down our street, a one-way, I noticed the road ahead seemed nonexistent, it looked like a black void where normally I would be able to see the intersection with Chicago Ave just ahead. as I got closer,I could tell the black void was actually a huge tree that had fallen across the entire street, from one sidewalk to the other, from the street up about 20' in the air. there was some sort of a wire caught in the tree, from the wooden posts that used to hold it above the street. there were no sparks, but still, it's not the kind of thing you want to come home and see five buildings down the street.
funniest twist in the evening was that I forgot to bring my spare cell phone battery, and my battery died right around the time the tornado sirens were going off and the friend I was waiting to meet was diverted to Detroit. the lack of phone was a stark reminder of what life was like just a few years ago. back in the day when lightning kocked down trees in the work-a-day world.
good times. hope everybody's all good.

They evacuated the stands at Wrigley Field last night, and had everyone stay in the lower level of the park, not allowing anyone to leave.
