I didn't drive across town. It is about 3 miles from my house. Yes, I saw the forecast considering I knew about the severe threat 144 hours ago(think GFS model). If you READ the post you would see I EXPLAINED that my garage is FULL of stuff that I recently moved. You fail in reading comprehension.

Take your dribble elsewhere Loony... I am through with you.

You want to use the word DRIVEL, moron. Dribble is something you do in addition to cluelessly chasing after a rolled up joint that's lying perfectly still on the ground while dragging your bare knuckles against the cement. You're right...the average person is pretty stupid.

You are so freaking stupid it is unbelievable. Is there any way to squelch the MORON? I would like very much to never see another one of your posts. I can't believe I wasted the time to even skim what you have to say.

Yes, Moonbeam did make some good points.

But it doesn't require thought or careful reading to understand him. His post could be summed up in a few sentences, and easily understood by all. He likes to make short points in long winded posts for some reason.
-----------------------------

You mean like: "So you drove to the Insurance Company's lot just in time to see all the morons there?" Hehe.

datalink, I like a variety of styles encluding the kind you suggest. I like a big nest.

Funny how everyone here thinks they arn't just a standard human.

Yup, it's Lake Woebegone where all the children are above average.

Ever heard of finals? Also, an earthquake and secondly, where was I going to put the stuff?:p Also who trusts the GFS? The ETA is much better for handling events. Just because I KNEW of the possibility of an outbreak on friday doesn't mean it would happen, nor does it mean it would occur exactly in my area. Don't know much about meteorology or computer models eh? Another moron. They are coming fast and hard in this thread and losing.

6 days is only just a slight guess of what will happen. You don't start listening to models until they verify which occured about wednesday afternoon when I was out of town. I had finals that night, finals the next day, and finals today. Falling hard still...

Arguing is not entertaining at all to me, so I read down to a couple past Moonbeam's and realized his post had struck a nerve. I'm standard-issue human being and that is good. Am I a moron? I don't think so. Isn't that all that matters?

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realize - about half of 'em are stupider than that!
