I've seen it. It's real. And it's scary.

16 December 2007

Don't believe the hype.

We'll get less snow than expected
December 16, 2007 7:17 am — This weekend's snowstorm will be less severe than originally forecast.

Conditions will deteriorate rapidly late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, becoming very difficult...maybe even impossible at times.

... afraid the storm could end up like The Blizzard of '77. This time around, he's stockpiling things like milk, eggs and water.

Do you get it?

What do people do when they're told to be afraid? Spend money.

Water, milk, eggs, booze, snow blowers, shovels, videos, gas, generators, gloves, more gas, condoms, gigantic tvs, PS3, Sony Wii, Guitar Hero, ammunition, Oreos, board games, hotel rooms for Hannah Montana concert, Coach bags, calendars, cards, new windows, dining room tables, sex toys, guns, more gas, duct tape, super glue, BandAids, fancy pens, perfume etc. etc. etc.

IT'S THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD!!!!

Is this playing Monday morning quarterback on a Sunday morning? Not really and there's plenty of time for me to be wrong regarding the weather, but then again I'm not talking about the weather.

If it snowed ALOT or it didn't the result was the same.

Fear. Spend money. Feel secure. Lather rinse repeat.

Sound familiar?

Just because you said you do this, I bought bactine, two lighters and tape the other day, just to see if anyone would comment. Nothing happened. Of course, I bought about $100 in groceries so maybe my technique isn't as blatant as yours...
