Everybody relax. We are now at Code Yellow. Whew!

I’ve put the plastic and duct tape away in an easily accessible place, instead of sitting at the ready on my windowsill. I’ve stopped wearing my flak jacket on the 4 train. I only report every other “suspicious” individual to Homeland Headquaters.

The cynic in me thinks the alert was lowered so that it can be raised again when unemployment rates come out.
Or maybe they’re saving it up for the next stinking snow storm which is supposedly on its way here. Why can’t we nuke the snow?

But I just finished mummifying myself in plastic and duct tape! Now I gotta unwrap it all? Fuck that, I’ll just sit tight until the next orange alert.

KneadToKnow · February 27, 2003, 11:48pm

You know what this means, right?

Tomorrow they attack.

Jonno · February 28, 2003, 12:33am

:eek:

Quit that, goddamit. If you make me crap my pants, I’m whapping you upside the head with my bag of duct tape.

In New York City, we’re still on Orange Alert and have been since they started the whole system.

Ha ha! </Nelson>

Waitaminnit…that’s not a good thing…

Biggirl · February 28, 2003, 3:44am

Hey, I’m in New York City!

GET THE TAPE!!! GET THE TAPE!!!

deb2world · February 28, 2003, 4:24am

Blast, they lower the alert just as I was getting up the energy to run around yelling

“THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING”

PLUS I LIKE ORANGE BETTER THAN YELLOW oops sorry didn’t mean to continue still yelling but really don’t look good in either. Why can’t they have a purple day. I look great in that color.

Nooooo! I only just finally found orange duct tape so I’d be properly colour coordinated, and now they change the alert level???

Fern_Forest · February 28, 2003, 4:54am

Nuts. Hawaii has been blue throughout the whole thing and I had just finished preparing for us being the last state in the union. Oh well, I’ll call that Plan B.

porcupine · February 28, 2003, 5:05am

That means it’s ok to go pee now, right?

MEBuckner · February 28, 2003, 5:11am

Hey, CelticCowboy…

BOO!

Jonno · February 28, 2003, 9:08am

[sub]I hate you.[/sub]

Seven · February 28, 2003, 9:11am

Well, I hope someone somewhere picks up news on the radar that an attack might happen sometime, somewhere, very soon.

Yellow clashes with these shoes.

Coldfire · February 28, 2003, 11:56am

Just be sure to know what all those new signs mean.

Snooooopy · February 28, 2003, 1:03pm

No crapping until we go to Code Brown!

E-Sabbath · February 28, 2003, 2:08pm

Biggirl, we’re in NY. We’re still Orange.

Sorry.

dwc1970 · February 28, 2003, 2:23pm

Must be, this guy is doing it during an orange alert (scroll down a little ways in link).

Innanna · February 28, 2003, 5:30pm

Or perhaps a fushia for those of us in the midwest who need a bit of color in Feb.?

I tell you, these men have no idea.

Skelji · February 28, 2003, 5:55pm

Gee, the “alert level” gets dropped right after the announcement that the government’s spending plan for the year doesn’t include enough money to protect against terrorist attacks on American soil.

How convenient.
