The tropical storm blew through here earlier this week and knocked out power and cable (Internet) for a huge part of the state. Luckily I had a generator, so we had power, but cable was out until sometime late last night. Cell towers around her appear to not have generators, because I could barely use my phone. No internet sucked - couldn't work online if there is no online. Anyways, catching up wit the world today! did I miss anything?
just that comet we thought was a comet actually turned out to be a mother ship of an expeditionary task force and we now have confirmed contact with life from another world. However they found out our current state of affairs and packed up and left, posting a PSA to the rest of the Universe "No intelligence life here, stay away":arhhh:
other than that, not much:laughing:
You missed a lot.
I stopped making silly posts.
Sergio bought a Chinese Telecaster and sold his Jessica.
Mike started listening to Montovani
Coyote Gator sold his guitars and bought an actual gator
PC revealed that the letters stand for "Party Chap"
Dan installed a 30 speaker system in his Kia.
Offshore Angler admitted that he hates touching fish.
And Old Strummer revealed that he's been using pics of his grampaw and that he's actually a 17 year old girl, howbeit with a handlebar mustasche.
I wish you'd go back to making silly posts.
We lost power for a day and had a generator. Cell worked fine though, so I hardly skipped a beat.
I always pick on my favorites.Quote:

Coyotesgator, have you ever eaten gator or coyote?
Alligator yes.
I can’t imagine a scenario in which I would be hungry enough to eat a coyote.
You have entered the world of darkness-- You have a choice: eat coyote or listen to Bobby Sherman deep album cuts.Quote:

Coyote tastes like coyote.
Gator might taste like chicken.
Frog legs, and rabbit, and squirrel, etc taste like chicken.
But does chicken taste like gator?
Does chicken taste like frog legs, rabbit, or squirrel?
The only thing coyote tastes like is your little lap dog Fifi...
:bonkStacy's Mom!:wow:odie::odie:
Stacy's mom tastes like chicken.
LOL. I have either heard or read references to that song at least 3 times in the past week. Somebody referenced it on another forum, then Wednesday night the guitar player at Fratello's played that song (he was good). And now you.Quote:

He plays in a band called Stone Road and I think they're based out of Providence, RI.
GJ, I'm in Westport, Took me nine days to get power back and two more to get internet!
Eversource rally botched things up - right after that huge rate increase. My electric bill was $587 last month!
WHAT??!? That's got to be a typo.Quote:
