Hurricane "You're-Gonna-Get-Yours, Bitch"
Hurricane Gustav? Sounds like some kind of sissy European terrorist that wears pointy shoes and kicks a lot during fights. John McClane kills guys like that with one shot. Gustav doesn't scare me.Hurricane Hanna? Please. That's a grade-school girl throwing a fit.
Hurrican Ike? Now that scares the crap out of me. I envision a giant spinning Ike Turner, advancing menacingly on the coastline and bitchslapping the seaboard into chaos and terror, then making them sign over all their publishing rights to him.
On the other hand, Hurricane Ike could have the best soundtrack ever. However, if there's a Tina, Louisiana, it's in really big trouble.

Yeah, but Katrina sounded like a sorority girl too.
So true. Katrina was the drunken sorority girl who seems nice, but gets so wasted she has to pull over and throw up a dozen times on the way home from the bar.
All over New Orleans.
Hmm. I think my metaphor needs some work.
OK, I made that same comparison today and the room of 16-years-olds had no idea who Ike Turner was.
In another class someone mentioned the movie The Breakfast Club and about half hadn't heard of it.
Talk about tragedies of Shakespearean proportions.
This is one of those moments in which I feel really old.

Oh, good grief. What is our children learning? I'll bet if you made some joke about "The Hills" they would have laughed their little freak emo haircuts off.
@penelope:
On that topic: has anyone seen the TV in heavy rotation right now -- I think it's for Target, but I cannot be sure -- that apes "Breakfast Club"?
It's spot-on perfect. In fact, I'm pretty sure they shot it at the same "Shermer High School." Yet, the kids in the ad are all of 15 years old, and therefore never saw the original flick... so who is that ad supposed to attract? Their parents? Okay, that's MY generation... and my oldest kid is 8. I'm still 5 years away from shopping for those kinds of clothes.
It's a terrific concept aimed at an enormous generation gap... swear to God, I wish someone would freaking hire me as their marketing director.
That is all.
