A: No, but I've been told to read it (along with Richard Dawkin's The Selfish Gene, but that's beside the point.).
Q: Major problem: Isabell's projected path takes her right up the Chesapeake bay. I live about 50 minutes from the Chesapeake bay, and we're being told that she'll hit hardest right about in our area. Do you think we'll need to plywood the windows? Plus, how the hell do you secure a trampoline so that it won't be picked up by 100mph winds? (and NO, I am NOT taking it all apart and bringing it inside.)

A: Might not be a bad idea. Hmmmm, the tramampoline.......You could try covering it with a plastic tarp, then anchor it with concrete blocks. You also might want to prop up the center with a pole so that the rain doesn't pool. I think, however, the winds'll be down by the time it hits (IF it hits, there's a front pushing off the coast that may deflect it). It's gonna come up through N.C and V.A. first, so you'll probably just get really heavy rains. Then again, IANAM (I Am Not A Meteorologist). Q: Sounds like I know what I'm talking about, doesn't it?

A: Yes, it does. You must work for N.O.A. (Don't ask me what that means, I only know it has something to do with weather.)
Q: Does anyone like "Invader Zim"?

A: Sorry, a narcoleptic shop teacher could count on his finger(s) the number of American cartoons I watch.
(N.O.A.A., BTW, is the National Oceanograpic and Atmospheric Agency. The govermnments' weather forecasters, among other things.) (I really need to get on Jeopardy! one of these days...)
Q: Anybody else looking forward to the "Clone Wars'" shorts Cartoon Network is gonna show this fall?

1) I'll never be rest of the world okay...I too far gone for that...to far to my little world...of such things and such I not shall speak of.
2) "Sanity" of our usual kind...not likely...I'm quite miffed at the moment at generally everything...next, as per what I've tested will be my next phase is where I go into a 12-24 hour depression of some sort about something and then after that who the hell knows.
3)AS PER I DOUBT, DOES ANYONE CARE?!

A: Of course we care, Menkin. We're like family here, and you're the neurotic older middle child. Very neurotic. But that's beside the point... Q: Has anyone ever read "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch"?
