Nice, very nice buy.

By now you should know the routine: "You (insert rude word or phrase)"

Have fun with it.

Good find. ^5

How close did they get?

Hey, when somebody gets a deal like that, there isn't anything wrong with pointing out the fact that he has horse shoes up his ass.

This begs the question, Suckmaster General, was that the CL advertised price, or are you one hell of a horse trader?

Would you care to give the Canuckistani origin of that quaint thought, sir? I've heard of horse shoes for luck, but that particularly poignant positioning is new.

P.S: Z3, YOU SUCK!

Joplin is about 55 mile southeast of here. The storm that caused all of the trouble actually formed over Wilson County that borders us to the west. As it passed over us in Neosho County it ballooned and dumped some hail, 3" of rain, and then really strengthened as it moved south east. There was another pretty heavy and damaging band that passed a few miles south Wednesday, but it missed us.

Just makes you sick. Joplin is a great town. As bad as it is now, I think it will take time to really realize the overall impact on the four state area. Joplin is a regional crossroads for commerce and medical care.

To make matters works, the Westboro nut-gang from Topeka is planning on protesting the Sunday Memorial.

It implies an individual has lots of luck, and grab a bit more at any time, despite the uncomfortable implications. HTH I didn't realize it was a Canadianizm.

Sounds like a death or a divorce.

Glad you're ok, I can appreciate near misses.

SWMBO obeyed used to travel a lot to Joplin on business, she was always fond of the area and people.

Joplin took a bad human toll, this kind of thing affects people for generations.

These are Godless, heartless bastards, maybe the good people of Joplin will show them the door.

Is it too much to ask for a small, powerful, tightly focused tornado?

Just be careful - they make a living by suing people who harass them.

One day, they'll pay big for that crazy behaviour of theirs.

Any way to convince the authorities that they're looters who should be shot in sight?

----------------------------- When it comes to tornadoes, ANY miss is a good one.

My guess is that Joplin and surrounding aeras that got hit will get on with life and the rebuilding process just like that town in Kansas a few years ago.

There is no doubt there will be scars, but that's just part of life I guess.

Glad to see you are OK.

on protesting the Sunday Memorial.

If that coincides with Obama's visit on Sunday, could be interesting.

Pray on it, guys. Let 'em see how far they get suing GOD. ;)

It could be interesting anyway. It is bad enough to pick out the family of a deceased soldier who is in mourning. In this case they are harassing an entire region that is in shock, Many are desperate and exhausted. I doubt if any of them want to screw with a bunch of whackos

I also have a feeling that the impact of the disaster and low tolerance for bullshit could be a trigger for a reaction which The Whacos didn't see coming. There's going to be a few with a feeling of nothing-left-to-lose.

Can I volunteer for the jury?
