Thanks for checking Martok. My kids and I are fine. No power and trees down everywhere. Sun's just coming up behind the cloud cover so we're getting some natural light to get our day started- breakfast on the gas grill, etc. Glad to hear you're ok, JH. How about the rest? TCT was almost right in front of the storm's middle. Hope you're all safe.

I am very glad to hear that everyone seems to have made it through the storm ok. Fortunately Sandy while huge in size was only a category 1 storm.

Oh and that picture Star posted of the shark swimming through a NJ suburb is just amazing and extremely creepy at the same time!

Good to hear everyone is ok.  We lost power last night and it hasn't returned yet.  No damage though.  At least there is power here at work so I can recharge my phone and tablet.

Maryland and Virginia seem to have uniformly come through with minor issues.
Many roads are blocked, lots of people have lost power, but nothing compared to up north.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Interesting story on one of the victims of the HMS Bounty sinking during Sandy:

^ Cool story. 




I heard from Smuck, by the way.  Sounds like he and his brood have made it through okay.

There was a huge fire in Queens last night. Talk about a nightmare - trying to fight that during a storm. 80 houses were lost. That's terrible.

Who's still incommunicado? No word from Tent? Hope he and his are alright. Maybe he'll get to meet Chrisie's new BFF the POTUS on their tour.

Amazing amount of damage, and all the fires didn't help. Damn.

The kids are sitting around watching the 13 Days of Halloween on TV. We're watching a DVR copy of The Addams Family.

Uncle Fester just released the storm near the end of the movie.

It's title?

Hey guy thanks for the concern.  I am at the inlaws right now they just got power this evening, they live in Newton NJ about 20mins from my wife and I.  We still don't have power at home and came to spend the night here since it is supposet to get down in the 30s tonight.  The power company says the power won't be on until maybe early next week.
