Come home, Snoopy, come home
Sep. 14th, 2004 08:41 amATTENTION MR. STONEY:
You need to leave New Orleans. Tonight. I don't care about your job. The storm surge is expected to be 13 feet, not to mention the high winds, and HEY! They don't even bury people underground there. Wanna know why? Because New Orleans is BELOW sea level. You dig a hole and it fills up with water. Wanna bet the whole town will look like that by tomorrow night?
Schools have been closed today. Federal buildings are currently sending people home to PACK. Not just to stay there, but to PACK and LEAVE. Remember 5 years ago when you were stuck in the tropical storm outside of Houston? How you had to stay in your car and watch the water rise and couldn't drive anywhere because everyone was fleeing at the same time? Let's not repeat that, shall we?
So, there is a Southwest flight leaving every hour on the half hour to DFW. Let's get your sweet little ass on one, 'kay?
That is all.
Love, your wife.

Rising Water and Rainbow Cowboys
Date: 2004-09-14 06:59 am (UTC)Well, you can just come rock me to sleep tonight while I'm having "buried in a watery grave in the Big Easy" nightmares. Jeez! Come back to the five and dime, Mr. Stoney!!!
I am back at work today, slightly pink-eyed but no worse for wear. I'm back on my WW (that'd be Weight Watchers, for those not in the know) and am slightly grumpy. Stupid slow metabolism. Did you know my husband eats like a wide receiver in the off season and still has the body of a 19-year-old swimmer? It's true. Pisses me off (and, okay, turns me on - but that's a different story.)
I just dropped the knowledge on Vinnie that OKC has a gay rodeo (she thought I was being funny for story purposes), and now the two of you are road tripping up here next May to go. Pencil it in. Memorial Day weekend. What? You have a husband and children and family stuff to do? La la la la - not listening!!!
"And the dead shall rise from their graves"
Date: 2004-09-14 07:15 am (UTC)Just got a cell call from Mr. Stoney: he is on his way to the airport to sit until he can catch a flight. They are now evacuating the city. Jay-zus.
I'll tell my daughter that her 8th birthday is not as important as mommy watching gay men "take a holt" of them big ol' stout sumbitches. She'll understand. Love me some gay cowboys. Steers and Queers!!
And I'm glad your eye is better. O_~

P.S. I have practically decided to set my fic in Galveston, Texas, do you know of a good online site for research?
Re: "And the dead shall rise from their graves"
Date: 2004-09-14 08:41 am (UTC)Oh, it's your daughter's birthday? Bring her along! Caza can take her to Frontier City to ride rides while you, Vinnie and I ogle the asses of Wrangler.
Here is why I love Southerners

He's sitting in the airport right now.
I love that idea of Wrangler asses. Can I wear some Rocky Mountains so I can get a heart-shaped ass? BTW, I found out that I have free tickets to the State Fair (3rd week in October) for anyone that wants to come with me.... I have a spare room, too....
Hello!!
Date: 2004-09-14 08:54 am (UTC)And here's one that has a little of everything: http://members.aol.com/USWebNews/
I saw Red hot Chili Peppers play on the beach in 1988 there. Surfing sucks, but people try to anyway. Look up The Strand! It's a hang out for beach combers.
ANd Mr. Stoney is at the airport looking into getting on a plane as soon as possible, thanks!!!
**kisses Mari and squeezes tight**
Re: "And the dead shall rise from their graves"
Date: 2004-09-14 08:56 am (UTC)Ok, well I thought it sounded cool, but then I am not the authority on cool, so eh :: shrug ::
And hey, your daughter doesn't have to know it's a gay rodeo, she could just have rodeo birthday fun. Plus, Gay Cowboys! :: pleads ::
Re: Here is why I love Southerners
Date: 2004-09-14 09:04 am (UTC)I dropped the State Fair idea on Caza and he said as long as we could get the car serviced before then, okey dokey.
George Strait!! He was purdy in that singer to cowboy movie
Date: 2004-09-14 09:12 am (UTC)Re: "And the dead shall rise from their graves"
Date: 2004-09-14 09:13 am (UTC)Or we can push her birthday to some random day to make it more fun. For me.
Re: "And the dead shall rise from their graves"
Date: 2004-09-14 09:30 am (UTC)See, just mess with her day perception. Say the calendar says April 24th, well, you know it's the 24th, but tell her it's the 19th, begin marking all calendars accordingly, and you've gained (or lost, I'm not sure, really) 5 days. Gay Cowboy fun here you come!

Date: 2004-09-14 09:36 am (UTC)Beer - check.
Bustier - possible check.
Gay cowobys - priceless.
That made no sense, but I laughed.

Re: Here is why I love Southerners
Date: 2004-09-14 09:44 am (UTC)Film - check
Bustier- check
Size 10 ass in size 6 jeans - check
watching men "ride" steeds with good friends? - Priceless.
This is something I need to be a part of. I FEEL it in me bones.
Put down the OK beer, step away from the duct tape...
Date: 2004-09-14 09:44 am (UTC)Gotta go with Stoney on the bustier thing. Far less painful to remove than duct tape. Plus, killer boobs.
Ouch, hey, give me back my epidermis!!!

Date: 2004-09-14 09:53 am (UTC)I'm thinking it's a definite maybe, and that's final.
