Gulf Coasters UNITE!!! (joke)

[PTPatrick]

Ok all you folk from Apalachicola to Pensacola, Pascagoula and New Orleans, and yes even you Houstonians...maybe if we all just think happy thoughts Ivan will not come to the Gulf. Your new Mantra is "IVAN WILL NOT HIT HERE" Everybody say this little phrase to yourself when you think about this week and maybe it will happen...Positive thinking is a powerful thing people!

PS...if that dont work...I know of some cheap land in Montona

[dhweather]

I have a gift - nothing over TS strength will strike within 50 miles of my house.

[GalvestonDuck]

I think it would also help if we all go stand on the beach and blow out towards the water. Two purposes - 1) cool the Gulf temps, and 2) push Ivan away.

[PTPatrick]

On that note Duck...I would also be willing to try the liquid nitrogen thing surely it wouldnt take THAT much to cool the GOM down to about 79 degrees

[Bluefrog]

Ivan will NOT hit anywhere near here ..... repeat ......repeat........

[dhweather]

Nah, use LOX - there's already too many problems with high nitrate levels in the GOM.

[PTPatrick]

There ya go blue frog...keep saying it here in Pascagoula, I am with you buddy. We will send it to Pensacola(just kidding NW Floridians)

[SunnyThoughts]

Chanting and waving my cigarette lighter in the air...go away ivan...go far far away.

I think this is likely an Eastern Gulf of Mexico system--likely to hit Florida, again. We'll see...we have a ways to go, but, I'm leaning to an area close to where Charley hit.

[Pebbles]

HAHAHAHA *blows extra hard to help out the 'gulfer' from Chicago*

[Cookiely]

Everyone has an opinion. My cable repairman stated he thought Ivan was going to hit in the Naples area.

Agree whole heartedly, repeat over and over go away Ivan go away....like a football cheer. GalvestonDuck I suggested that last week for Frances and it helped us a little...(HAHA). Maybe it will go into an unpopulated area of the Yucatan or unpopulated Mexico where they need the rain......

Go Away Ivan, Go Away, (clap, clap) Go Away Ivan, Go Away...

Wait... don't we need to sacrifice someone to the hurricane gods??

Which one of us is it going to be now... You know.. they've got to be pure, and um... kind and um... good... and um...


hrm...

BRING ON THE HURRICANE, BABY!!!

[PTPatrick]

I can think of some people on the board that would love to sacrifice to the hurricane gods, but they wouldnt be very pure and nice...so I guess we will have to settle for the positive thinking.

We're SOL then, nobody like that here!

Someone call 800-NUNS-R-US and see if they have someone to offer up!

I'm here at the behest of interests in the state of Vermont. My employers would like to purchase Hurricane Ivan from you for display at the Shelburne museum.

I'm afraid we can't pay for it with anything of current equivalent value -- we rarely even spin up an F0 tornado up here. But we can offer you an ice storm, a blizzard, one earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale, and two subzero cold snaps. I know this may seem like a paltry offer, but you should be aware that the earthquake has great investment potential. Geologists have been warning this region for years that it is vulnerable to a much larger destructive earthquake, but no one, so far, appears to be preparing for such an event. And in the event of oceanic conveyor belt shutdown, those cold snaps would appreciate significantly in value as well.

The other possible impediment to a deal is arranging for delivery. It is possible to trace an overwater route between the current location of your merchandise and its intended destination in Shelburne VT, but the route involves shipping the merchandise out into the Atlantic, past the Carolinas, looping around Cape Cod, into the mouth of the St. Lawrence, down the St. Lawrence Seaway, and south into Lake Champlain. As far as we know, no one has ever attempted to ship merchandise of this nature down such a track, although the interests I represent have suggested that at least one or two posters on this board, and the GFS, could find a way.

Thank you for considering our offer. Ivan would be an exceptional addition to our collection.
