Eric, don't bother with the toaster, it's too fast...get one of those knives with a hook on it and twist slowly...you have to be able to make the pain worse than it already is. That will take work. Moderator Brian, we are digressing, but it's your fault cuz you mentioned the fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have resolved to not get excited about any event unless every red tagger in this forum is demonstrably excited. Also, I love you Pete, but you can't start anymore threads this season on individual storms. I think we've got to get back to Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob just waits until a threat is modeled by the Euro then he starts a thread, That's not juju, that's cheating. Right after I started this thread the Euro showed a huge dump of cold air in the east with a monster storm and a steep west coast ridge. Guess who bit and started a thread. My juju is fine, it's snowing here now.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
