How many of you are going to get buried in this storm?

    Well I'm sure it was bad there too but you know how we're just not really equipped to handle storms like that down here and that blizzard was a disaster. My mamaw was working in a factory at that time and there was so much snow that it literally collapsed the whole roof of a big metal building!

    Nah, we're not that way at all. I was just kind of joking about being cheap. We're more "frugal" I guess. I can't remember the last time we went out to dinner, but that's mainly just because of the hassle with having little kids. :)

    Dude I hear you about the kids. It's like you get in there and sit down and wait and about the time your big fat NY Strip gets there you hear "Daddy I need to go pee." Or even worse... LOL. Also, on another note, did you see Bill DeBlasio's presser today where he was talking about how the snow was a little underwhelming for the city but he stood by shutting down travel? Well the funny thing was the sign language guy beside him. That dude was going AT IT man! It looked absolutely hilarious. It was like Peter Jackson was standing there interpreting. Also the Boston mayor had a really funny sign language person too. You should try and find it. Maybe I'm just easily amused, well probably not "maybe" LOL, but I just couldn't help but get tickled at it. It's like that famous news anchor video where the anchor absolutely loses it with laughter when she's talking about this guy that committed a GRUESOME murder but had a HILARIOUS mugshot and when it popped up on the screen she just couldn't help but chuckle and it sorta turned her giggle box open and it is absolutely morbidly hilarious to listen to that woman. You feel bad laughing at the video but you just can't help it.

    I didn't see that, but it really reminds me of this, which is pretty funny.

    LOL!!! I remember hearing about that I think. Wasn't he the guy that was like a convicted felon or something? Also it looked like they had Mandela's funeral at Heinz Field. LOL.

    They're far better equipped than the State of Georgia, but 2' of snow still screws things up for a few days.

    Bread,milk and eggs.....SO overrated as "emergency" supplies.....

    Bourbon,cigs and TP. Those are the three things you need to ride out a huge storm. Been there done that came out the other side every time.
