Think Hurricane Jose is trying to go after Mar-a-Lago?

There's another one already? Better not...

1. Hrd of Mega-Lo-Mart?

The official supermarket or would-be world conquerors?

2. If so, how how is it?

---

Nefarious, I imagine.

3. Wanna get with a bar, eat some steak and crack a cold one? After the drag race is finished in Oklahoma, cowboweh?

---

Are you coming on to me?

4. Wanna gather all our parents and meet up somewhere we all know in the daytime?

---

Sorry, I'm not that kind of guy.

5. ...Robbie, the house is an indoor pool again...Now what?

---

That depends on whose house was just flooded...and HOW it was flooded.

6. If you could crawl out of my tablet what would you do?

---

Not crawl out of your tablet. Just because I can do something doesn't mean I should.

7. Can this website detect everything about your computer as well as your IP address?

---

I sure hope not, or else I am inclined to ask several serious questions.

4. You wouldn't even meet up in real life for a private party?

---

Well, that's something different. The last time I got parents together, it was for an engagement party, so yeah. Specificity counts.

5. Would you trust Strickland Propane for your propane and propane accessories?

---

Depends on the reputation of this Strickland fellow.

---

Who do you trust for your propane and propane accessories? Blue Rhino, Surpass, American Gas, Farrell Gas?

---

Blue Rhino's done well by me so far.

Do you like busty women better?

---

YES.

5. They sell really good propane and Joe Jack's a nice fellow along with Debbie? So yes, maybe or not?

---

I'll take your word for it. As long it's workable propane and I don't explode, then it's all good.

6. What're all the highlights of everything that changed from 9/11?

---

Lots of things. Airport security increases, Islamaphobia, and a general sense in America of lost innocence, just to name a few.

Honest question: Are you old enough to remember 9/11/01?

Think aliens have contacted Earth, only we couldn't understand them?

If we can barely understand each other, how can we understand aliens?

Are you old enough to remember 9/11/01?
I was in sixth grade, third period Reading class when the first tower got hit.

To say I remember is a touch of an understatement.

Not my thread, but the question was posed.

---

I figured you would remember. The question was more towards Swingball since he seems significantly younger than us. But as long as we're telling stories, here's mine:

I was in (I believe) 8th or 9th grade at the time. I was in early morning homeroom when the first tower got hit. A member of the custodial staff came in and turned on the TV, saying that the World Trade Center blew up.

Since this was just before every student had a cell phone, students were gradually allowed to go to the school office to call their parents while the rest of us kept watching the news. I ended up seeing the second plane hit and the first tower fell before it was my turn to check in with my mom and let her know I was okay. By the time I got back to class, the second tower was down.

Meanwhile, it seemed like the rest of the school was moving at a snail's pace, and I recall thinking that we would remember this forever. The school gave us lunch, kept the teachers around to talk with us for a while, and then sent us home early. It was an insane 24 hours, but I was able to sleep soundly that night when I found out that my grandfather (who worked in the WTC at the time) didn't go in that day due to a dentist's appointment.

16 years later, it just recently occurred to me that there are plenty of teenagers and young adults now who probably don't know / remember what that day was like. Hence, my question to Swingball.

Nah, too young to 'member 9/11.

-But not too young to 'member the Orlando, Florida massacre.

---

And that's bad enough. We already had the Columbine school shootings freaking us out when I was your age (as old as that may make me sound), and then 9/11 happened.

For your sake and for future generations, I hope you don't experience another man made disaster like 9/11 in your time.

A pirate's life for you?

Nah, more like a pirate's long weekend for me.

Yeah, I was a senior in high school when 9/11 happened, for me it was during gym class and they had to bring us in from outside :/

Are hurricanes worse than terrorism though? Jose looks like it could be headed for New Jersey and New York but will likely be down to tropical storm by then

---

At least with the hurricane there's no outright malice. If we survived Sandy, we'll survive Jose no problem.
