So it looks like Rita is headed straight for Houston. I just checked MapQuest, and it appears that Crawford, Texas, is also in its path, though a bit inland from Houston.
So what do you think? If it hits Houston, will it also damage Crawford or is it too far inland?
And, the most important question: Coincidence? Or kharma? 
Betcha they get some serious aide.
Is Cindy Sheean still protesting near there?
Total coincidence. There is no such thing as karma.
Although if Sheehan were still out there making an ass of herself, I might just be tempted to believe it…
Too bad for those of us between here and there. :smack:
Topical Storm Cindy? A pit thread says her sights are set on “occupied” New Orleans.
I’m hoping against hope that this bitch fizzles out in the gulf and never makes landfall. I hate to see anybody hurt like this. But…the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. If Crawford does happen to get slammed, and I’m in no way hoping for that, perhaps the good God-fearing folks of the town will lynch the returning hero in response to his bringing God’s wrath upon them.
<checks calendar to see what century we’re in>
:dubious:
:smack:
Last I heard, actually, Cindy S. was around these parts.
I think people are reaching a bit here. Crawford is over 200 miles inland. That’s farther inland than say Jackson, MS. As far as I know, Jackson wasn’t leveled during Katrina.
Crawford is only about 80 miles SSW of Dallas, I can’t remember the last time Dallas was wiped out by a hurricane. Austin is closer to the coast and it doesn’t have a great history of hurricane destruction, either.
Ahh, it’s so nice to see another level-headed guy. A friend asked me if I’d heard whether a mutual friend had evacuated - the mutual friend lives a mere 250 miles from the coast. :rolleyes:
Yeah, all of those Buddhists are fucking idiots. Good thing the Christians got it right and don’t put up with any of that superstitious bullshit.
Yeah, that’ll teach all those jackasses in Crawford not to live in a town where George Bush owns a ranch he sometimes visits!
Oh, you mean somehow this’d be karma for Bush, even though he isn’t there? I vote no.
And after Bush just got through five weeks of brush-clearing, his poor ranch is going to be all filled with broken twigs and leaves and whatnot. It’s an excuse for a vacation more than karma.
Shut up and eat your Jeez-it. Tastes of chicken.
Thanks Dane Cook and Eddie Izzard.
You’ve obviously never read a clothahump comment in a reiligion thread- he’s an equal-opportunity disdainer.
