I doubt this is a problem. My sister lives in Covington. It’s across Lake Ponchatrain from New Orleans and didn’t get damaged much. At least that’s the last I heard from Sis (via text-messaging) when she returned home on Wednesday.
Although she did say the new neighbor’s kids were bow-legged, butt-ugly, and hairy.
I am starting to wonder whether that entire region might, in fact, be actually cursed. And God knows that we weren’t quite dealing with a unmitigated disaster down there already.
TW: ‘test’. Indeed.
Naw. I think ‘What happened to the Anaconda?’ tops it.

Some other phrases we military type dread, by rank:
PVT: “I have an idea…”
PFC: “I saw this once in a cartoon…”
SGT: “The Private has a good idea.”
MSG or CSM: “(S)He said, what?!”
2LT: “In my experience…”
CPT: “I’ve made us a deal.”
CW2: “Okay, now stand back.”
MAJ: “I saw this once in a movie…”
COL: “North is definitely this way.”
Any General Officer: “We seem to be out of coffee.”
In every case above, havoc will follow.
The Anthrax Mutation: Part Deux
RTO,
That pretty much goes for the swabbies, as well. After translating ranks, the notable exception is for CPOs: “Watch this shit…”
Cordially…
OK
who the f**k came up with the bright idea of storing of storing this stuff in a city sinking below sea level located in a notorious flood zone?
With all the problems in NO, we are lucky it did not take a direct hurricane hit.
Dance ‘DILLO, DANCE!!!
Truth > fiction
The most intelligent thing I’ve seen so far is that the N.O. Museum of Art stores the parts of their collection, not currently on display, in the basement.
You know, even further below sea level than if they’d just left it in a bus locker.
Brilliant, now that the biodefense lab is underwater and all the Gibbons are furiously spreading anthrax to their human captors, all I want to know is,
CAN THEY DANCE?????????
Tonight on KOS: “Now we see the Rethuglicans real purpose in causing this hurricane: it’s because the AIDS virus they created couldn’t do the whole job!”
Great. Just f’n great. I mean, as if the hurricane and the flood weren’t bad enough, now Leeza Gibbons is on the loose?
When will our long national nightmare finally end?
I’m with Salt Lick—as Covington is on the opposite side of Lake Pontchartrain and about five miles inland from its shore, the odds that it’s in any danger are slim.
<a href=”http://maps.google.com/maps?q=18703+three+rivers+road,+covington,+LA&spn=0.026042,0.024992&t=k&hl=en”>Here’s the satellite view of the site. There’s a creek nearby, but I doubt it got high enough to make anyone sweat.
Crap. Sorry about that.
Then again, Robert, I don’t know where the non-Covington sites are located. If you follow the links you’ll see specific locations within New Orleans listed, and it does, in all seriousness, sound scary. Didn’t mean to minimize the overall danger with my clownishness.
but i got no clue about the other sites.
Oh, great. So it’s going to turn into Resident Evil 3: The Big Easy?!
“Turn into”…?
Nah, Bruce Willis will come back from the future and stop Brad Pitt. I think.
