Here's one for the Bush haters out there. You have to dislike Bush to get this one. Also, the entire movie can be guessed with the third picture alone, but the first two help.

Pick Shear. I get it. I never would have recognized her, though.

I'm sorry, I have a cold. Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Nine months later, an SUV was born.

Coming up next on The Discovery Channel...

I just get the feeling this one's going to come right for us. I don't know, maybe I'm an optimist. I keep telling everyone here to get their shutters ready. No one wants to believe me.

Sorry it took so long. We're here now.

Correct.

By the way, I just found out what a circular cone means: It means forecasters don't have the slightest idea what will happen. Well, not really, but it does mean the forecast models vary wildly and the path is even more unpredictable than usual.

They would have to admit to having seen it, first. I don't think you'll get many takers.

Finally! The thread's 1000th reply! Congrats, WW. Danny DeVito Ruthless People Judge Reinhold

George, You're on the right track, but you're trying too hard with the first picture.

Are there any news reporter smileys?

no, no, no and no.

:)--> I think this one's going to pull a Jeanne on us, start moving away, then loop right back and WHAM!

I believe that's Nate to the east. He'll head up north by the time the night is out. Feeder bands? Not in a TD. They don't call them feeder bands until it's at least a tropical storm, which this is not. At least, not yet.

Gee, I wonder what you'll insist on making the subject?

As if he wouldn't have hijacked this thread had I not said anything. It was a nice thread while it lasted. It's about to become about something else entirely.

NOTICE TO ALL CONCERNED: MIKE IS ABOUT TO HIJACK THIS THREAD. Nice chatting with you folks. This is about to become a Mike thread. Have fun!

Tropical storms are like the bratty little brother of hurricanes. A pain to deal with, but you'd rather deal with him than big brother. Hurricane Party at Lulu's Bait Shack, midnight tonight. See you there (actually, I won't, but whatever). :)-->

Somebody please make sure the cockpit doors are locked!

Note also that the cone has a calendar on it. You can see where it's forecast to hit at particular times. No telling how that will change (and it WILL change), but you can see that the current projection is for landfall on Saturday morning, well, well north of Fort Lauderdale. St. Augustine and Jacksonville seem to be the places to worry about at the moment, but as always with these storms, that could change with the next update.
