Post-storm Pictures

[TrakMastaTom]

I took some pictures during/after the big ice storm. I though they were worth sharing, this one in particular I thought was funny.

If you can't read the sign, it says "Free Firewood." I got a kick out of that.

Crazy storm.

[thebird1003]

Well, pictures like that make me glad that i live in South Florida, I just wish we didn't have so many Heat waves and Hurricanes tho.:(

[fedor]

Rep for you:)

[thebird1003]

Rep for who?

[TrakMastaTom]

Yay! Rep!

Thanks Fed-Ex :)

[thebird1003]

I wish that there was an ice storm here, but i highly doubt that we're gona have 1 :(

[TrakMastaTom]

No you don't. It was awful. Almost the entire city was out of power. It isn't fun sleeping in a powerless house with no heat when it is 5 degrees outside.

[thebird1003]

Ok, but tell me this TMT witch 1 would you have 8 hurricanes in a 2 year span where you have to sleep when it's 98 degrees with no AC for 2 weeks after every hurricane or your ice storm?

[Kraemer]

I wish that there was an ice storm here
Wow! you really really want rep....:blank:

[thebird1003]

Wow! you really really want rep....:blank: No i don't really want rep, but... If you wana give me rep then i'll gladly take it:D

[TrakMastaTom]

If the worst part of the hurricanes is sleeping in 98 degree weather, I'll take the hurricanes any day.

I much prefer warm weather to cold.

Of course, I would elect for neither.

[thebird1003]

Yeah, take hurricanes over an ice storm and have your house deystored by an Hurricane. But it's your choice. NOTE: I never had my house deystored by a Hurricane :)

[jeckel22]

I live in North Dakota. The temperature drop to about 30 below 0. When you had your ice storm, we were going through temps that were getting to -40. If you have exposed skin in that temp. you will get frostbite within a couple of minutes. It has been known to get 60 below.

[thebird1003]

Ok, i think we should put a pole in this thread to ask and see witch one you rather have an major ice storm or an major hurricane

Yeah and a huge frozen tree crashing into your bedroom would do the trick, too.

It's hard to compare the two disasters. Hurricanes are know to hit where that do, it's not like there is an "Ice storm season". If you don't like the idea of hurricanes coming into town, then move inland...
Ok, i think we should put a pole in this thread to ask and see witch one you rather have an major ice storm or an major hurricaneI think your missing the point. TMT wanted to share what he and others in the area were going through, not debate if a hurricane is more bearable then an ice storm.

[jeckel22]

This is what we do in Minot, ND if we get bored and want to play in the snow.

That wasn't the question. You asked if I would rather have my ice storm or sleep with no AC in 98 degree weather.

And I mostly just wanted to post my "Free Firewood" picture because it made me giggle, and then I went ahead and threw some more pictures in the thread. I wasn't bit... complaining about my conditions. I'm pretty lucky I have power at this point.

And as Coz said, a tree through the ceiling of your bedroom would certainly do the trick ;)

Edit: Nice pictures J. Looks to me like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is all grown up and has matured his crazy snowmen.

[Kraemer]

And don't forget snowwomen, we're not sexists pigs here.:razz:

I like three letter nicks as well, all the cool kids have 'em (Bro, Tek, Sab, and even you...Ten;)) but the smaller the nick, the cooler you are, ain?t that right, D?:lol:

I have been called J a few times so I guess I am pretty cool. I suppose that is my new nickname.:cool: :proud:

[Kraemer]

Noooo. I meant to type Jay....

[fedor]

I called you Big J at that thread... don't you think "Big J" is better:razz:

[Kraemer]

Uh oh. I feel an "OTPMH" coming....

[jeckel22]

I called you Big J at that thread... don't you think "Big J" is better:razz:

Big J is good. It makes it a little different from J. Besides, you all call Kong Big D (I don't know where that comes from).

[thebird1003]

Yeah, you guys are right. I got worked up about the Hurricane vs Ice Storm debate. But the free firewood pic was kinda funny, but jeckel's pics was the funniest, even tho i've seen them before.

[Kraemer]

Pfft, what makes you so big? The average J should work fine since there is no one bigger then Big D!

Yeah, Toms' pics were cool, like I said when I repped him, forget Hip-Hop, pursue a career in photography!:mrgreen:

[thebird1003]

Yeah, maby i'll become a model and he can photograph me. Superstar! JK:mrgreen:

[Kugyince]

Well first, Daniel is Kong's real first name. Back during the onVGP days Kong's nick was onVGP as well. After a while it became confusing to figure out whether people were referring to the site or the Admin so I just started calling him Big D and it caught on.

[TrakMastaTom]

I elect Jek as the nickname.

Edit:

Photography has always been my second love. Maybe I could be a photographer that raps on the side.

Or take pictures of concerts for magazines or something.

[Kraemer]

Yeah, maby i'll become a model and he can photograph me. Superstar! JKThat's a good idea, but don't forget to put THIS (http://www.retrouprising.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=52&d=1169149300) in you portfolio.:razz:

[thebird1003]

Ha ha Coz, verry funny.

[jeckel22]

I may start a poll in the introduce yourself forum. That way it will be a little bit more organized. That sounds like the best idea.

[thebird1003]

That's a good idea, but don't forget to put THIS (http://www.retrouprising.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=52&d=1169149300) in you portfolio.:razz: Well what about This!
http://www.retrouprising.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=48&d=1169086439
Not verry funny now isn't it

[Kugyince]

Photography has always been my second love.
I tried my hand at professional photography about five years ago. I gave up after everything I took a picture of ended up looking like a postcard instead of art.
Ha ha Coz, verry funny.
{OOC: Aww...come on dude! The Dill Pickles look really works for you! I'll tell you what though, you post a head-shot of yourself and I'll give it a second chance.}

[TrakMastaTom]

How about this?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/outkast2903/tmts.jpg?t=1169359843

Eh...not quite.

I should shave my head and get my ear pierced.

[fedor]

[thebird1003]

Is that really you? if it is then you look like a mentely retarded kids. No offence

[TrakMastaTom]

Haha. That is me.

I do look a little off though.
I was trying to look like the way Tenser portrayed me!!!

Haha.

[thebird1003]

[fedor]

Hurricains and storms are scared of Chuck Norris.

[Dudebro]

Ok now this topic didn't need to be bumped. The majority of the posters aren't even active anymore.
Sorry to bump it again but I wanted to point it out and I just noticed it.

[sezthemank]

sorry I just come across it and wanted to coment.
It should be locked if it aint in use.
Its not my fault. :)

[Dudebro]

Nope we don't lock topics if they're inactive since someone might have something to add. You just gotta consider if your contribution will add to the topic or not.

I did contribute though,
I sent a message about Chuck Norris.
Because Chuck Norris doesn't leave messages, he leaves warnings...

well Chuck Norris doesnt read forums. He stares the screen down until he gets the information he wants 8)
