Appetite for Destruction... 2006 Hurricane Cheering thread.

[animal]

It's almost that time again biotches... and in my typical no taste ways I am creating the 2006 central place for all your cheering-on-the-hurricanes needs. The stages are set, and the 2006 season starts in 14 days. :banana1:

In case you need a refresher... here's Last year's thread (http://www.brewcitymuscle.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8351)

These are the names of the 2006 'canes... who will it be? Who will "bring the noise" the year?

Alberto
Beryl
Chris
Debby
Ernesto
Florence
Gordon
Helene
Isaac
Joyce
Kirk
Leslie
Michael
Nadine
Oscar
Patty
Rafael
Sandy
Tony
Valerie
William

I say it's Isaac... he gonna be da man with the damage plan on 8-16-06. Target: Mobile, AL area. That's my prediction anyways. You heard it here first (someone quote it so when I'm right you can all bow and kiss my hurricane controlling ass). :banana :headbang :banana1:

[wikked]

What's with all these names from the 50's? yeesh.

I'm gonna pick Leslie for some good ol' carnage on 8/25.
Place: New Orleans, because they didn't learn the first time.

[Nix]

I think that Ernesto and Rafael are going to do the most damage seeing as those are both names of many illegal immigrants.

[animal]

you guys gotta give a date and target... it'll help cement your authority if you're right. Anyone can just call a name :D

[Want_Notch]

I say Gordon (cause that's my bosses name) will bring the pain to Texas.......August 8-11

[DirtyMax]

Joyce is Katrina's big sister and she's going to finish N'Awlins once and for all around 8/15.:banana1:

[animal]

In the spirit of discussion, I'll throw up a case of miller to anyone that hits their name, date, and target on the money. :alcoholic :thumbsup

[ProjectCamaro]

Kirk's going to hit Florida around 8/20 and finally bring her to her knees

[CruxGNZ]

Oscar on 9/15 takes out Corpus Christi, Texas. http://www.caughtatwork.net/ratings/sesamestreet/oscar.jpg

[animal]

I'm gonna say, on 6/1 I'll record all the predictions... you have til then to make your prediction. :) The first one you post only. You got one shot at it. I will also amend to say I will require proof you're 21 or over to win the beer otherwise you're gettin grandpa grafs muthafvcka.

[97z2801ss]

Hurricane Tony is commin to New Orleans 8/17/06

[animal]

Oscar on 8/1. http://www.caughtatwork.net/ratings/sesamestreet/oscar.jpg

God it would be awesome as hell to get up to "o" by 8/1.... we'd be goin into double overtime by the end of oct. Heh.

I'd love to be able to give you the beer. Remember you need to include a target.

[SlowStee]

Itll probably be some trashy place...maybe another swipe at new orleans ha ha..



Animal....youre an animal dude..

[Yooformula]

New Orleans will go down before Florida will!

[animal]

SOme of you, if you really wish to try to win the beer, need to give a specific point of impact, like a city, etc. "Florida" is too general for me to spot you a case of beer.

[CruxGNZ]

God it would be awesome as hell to get up to "o" by 8/1.... we'd be goin into double overtime by the end of oct. Heh.

I'd love to be able to give you the beer.
Ha ha, well they said that this year will be a repeat (or worse) from last year. The ocean temperatures are still very warm, making for another interesting year. The power of Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me.

U musta replied as I edited... u need to include a target :)

[Brandon W.]

im saying Key-west is going to be hit by Ernesto on 8-13.

[theavenger333]

either way, new orleans is gonna get it again, hopefully it just gets wiped out. they should make it into a TOTAL prison, like in that one Kurt Russell film where i do believe they make New York a big ass prison, the whole island

[Teufelhunden]

My wish, I mean, guess:
Kirk
New Orleans
September 11

[Crawlin]

I think "Chris" is gonna be a ***** ass storm that forecasters will call, "a slight tickle of wind"

hahaha, ahhh crap, making fun of myself again

[PonyKiller87]

My guess is Helene on 8/25 in Southern Miss.

[Al]

8/19 is Nadine. It will be big slow like this one lady at my mom's work. It will cross the Florida weiner and then make real landfall 20 miles west of Pensecola Florida.

BIG and SLOW! We might even hear that choking noise in the wind like the morbidly obese people when they manage to breathe for another day.

Neg rep points comin my way!

[PARALYZER]

Nadine is going to OWN Mexico.....just for all the $hit they are starting over here.

[animal]

Ah yes, the 'cane center has predicted 4-6 "major" storms for this year.

2006 Hurricane Prediction (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060522/ap_on_re_us/hurricane_prediction)


Good thing they always err on the side of error right?
Like last year:
http://www.pissmeoff.info/pics/storm.jpg


So does that mean we'll have like 10-12 supreme hurricanes this year?

Look out Florida.

[animal]

Only 9 more days til 'Cane season '06 arrives! W00t.

Buying stock in Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, and lumber companies as we speak! :D

[animal]

Alright Beotches... here's the entries you posted.

animal: isaac, 8/16, mobile, AL
wikked: leslie, 8/25, new orleans
brandonw: ernesto, key-west, 8/13
01camaroSS: Tony, 8/17, New Orleans
Mat73GNZ: Oscar, 9/15, Corpus Christi
4eyed: joyce, 8/15, New Orleans
Moparscott: Kirk, 9/11, new orleans
ponykiller87: Helene, 8/25, southern Miss
Al: Nadine, 8/19, 20mi W of Pensacola

If you posted, and your names not on this list, it's because you weren't specific enough with your location, etc.

Looks like people want the pain brought on N.O., :banana

You might be able to petition me to put you into the contest if you post up by the end of the day today... but you have a post a cool pro-hurricane pic that proves you're really into cheering.... and of course your prediction.

[animal]

It's on like a muthafvcka. Opening day.

It can only be celebrated properly with a row of nanners...
:banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

hurricane michael 8-25

[animal]

hurricane michael 8-25

That's fine man, but I can't let ya in on the contest :) You'll be here with bragging rights only.

[Teufelhunden]

CEDAR KEY, Fla. - More than 20,000 people along Florida's Gulf Coast were ordered to clear out Monday as Alberto — the first tropical storm of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season — unexpectedly picked up steam and threatened to come ashore as a hurricane.

[animal]

That's sweet.

Check out my ending to the article:

"TS alberto went through the florida wang only to come out on the other side and strengthen into a category 4 storm where it made a second landfall in south carolina and tore $hit up some more. "

[animal]

Man this hurricane season is bunk.

So far only 3 people hangin on in the contest, and it's gonna take a damn miracle to have that many 'canes.

What a crappy year for us pro-storm guys. :( :(

[PonyKiller87]

I completely forgot about this thread. Glad I guessed later, but 8/25 is coming up fast, lol.

[BAD LS1]

Time to start doing rain dances i guess....

[CruxGNZ]

I know, right? I shouldn't have went with Oscar.

[animal]

I had other people offline in on it as well... so far the closest likely contender is michael on 10-1-06. I don't forsee anyone else's entry being even close. Michael may even be far off.

[mike90lx]

We could guess wich one of your trailers is going to get blow to pieces

[PonyKiller87]

We could guess wich one of your trailers is going to get blow to pieces

Nah thats not nearly as cool. Tornados are more random and widespread through out the midwest and some other areas. The whole reason hurricane cheering is fun is because they really only hit the costal areas yet people insist on building houses right on the beach where they know they will eventualy get hit.

[animal]

The whole reason hurricane cheering is fun is because they hit florida and cause mass destruction

There, I corrected that for you. :rolf

[PonyKiller87]

Nah, the stupidity isnt limited to just florida, but they do have a very high concentration, lol.

[USMARINE1108]

I drove from New Berlin back to South Carolina today. When I got about 30 min from my house (about a mile from the coast) it was raining. They said on the radio it was from whatever tropical storm is off the coast right now.................... don't think that counts, huh?

[animal]

Er, TS debby is way the feck out in the atlantic, no way that's from that storm.

The previous TS ended 8-5-06 down by cuba, so I'm pretty sure that's not still looming around.

Tell your weather reporter:
http://www.pissmeoff.info/pics/crack.jpg

[USMARINE1108]

Ha! That's what they said anyway. They always say it's going to be a great day, yet it rains every afternoon for about 5 minutes.

[animal]

Ernesto is showing promise here...

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT05/refresh/AL0506W_sm2+gif/204724W_sm.gif


Go ern!

[animal]

Haha, go ERN! Tear the florida wang a new one.

[BAD LS1]

Yes! We are hoping for a "few good storms" here at work to drive generator sales, they have been builiding and stock piling them forever now.

Hurricanes outta be good for companies like Caterpillar too, they can always use more bulldozers down there after every storm hahahah

[68RR440]

Ernesto > Florida

:rolf :rolf :rolf

[Lash]

Ernest goes to camp, jail, and now Florida?

[USMARINE1108]

I just got this in an email from the base here in SC. We're getting ready!




As of 1300 today, the MAG has set Hurricane Condition IV. This means that Tropical Storm Ernesto, currently 35 miles North-Northwest of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is indicated to build to hurricane strength (sustained winds greater than 74 mph) and also is indicated to be a threat to our area within 72 hours.

[PonyKiller87]

Hurricanes outta be good for companies like Caterpillar too, they can always use more bulldozers down there after every storm hahahah

You dont know the half of it. Right now CAT engines are in huge demand. Pretty much since Katrina hit CAT cant keep up. At work I deal with emergency generators for Hospitals and right now the larger (1000 kw and bigger) have a 52 week minimum lead time which is just insane when your trying to plan a project. About a year ago some genious at Fabco prepurchased a bunch of engines and now they are selling them at like a 25% mark up to people that cant wait 52 weeks.

[animal]

I'd say he was a genious. :wow He could prolly get 50%.

[BAD LS1]

Yeah at Briggs here the largest they make is a 15K home stand by. But they 5,000 watt portables are among the heavy hitters and they built the hell out of them in prep for this year, if there isnt at least a couple storms the company will be hurting having to sit on and warehouse all these things. Some heads will roll i think in the forecast dept lol

[77thor]

I will go with Debby

[animal]

I will go with Debby

If you were trying to get in on the contest, then A) You're way past the due date for entries and B) Debby is already a named storm and is done, or nearly done and is nowhere near land.

[PonyKiller87]

I'd say he was a genious. :wow He could prolly get 50%.

Im guessing there is a limit on how much extra they can charge and call it a premium shipping time before it becomes price gouging. Either way I think most of these gensets run upwards of $200k so %25 is still a pretty big hit.

[68RR440]

I will go with Debby

[wikked]

I think that Ernesto and Rafael are going to do the most damage seeing as those are both names of many illegal immigrants.

Any relation to psychic Cleo? :goof

[animal]

Heh, ernesto, there's hope fo you yet.

After going on land, and surely looking to be doomed, "big ern" left the land and is reorganizing himself for another landfall. he's almost back to 'cane strength. :headbang

[animal]

You guys think it's too early to cheer on this one? :headbang :headbang

*EDIT* Initial posting was a tropical depression, now it's upgraded to a named storm beotch.

The hurricane contest is officially over. The last entry I received was for 10-3-06 Hurricane Michael and that one hasn't happened yet. We have no winner. Sorry guys. Do try again next year for your beer. :)

[DirtyMax]

I say all the participants meet some night for a beer anyways.
