This weekend there was a thunderstorm so intense it made me put on underpants.

The news was all, "IT'S COMING YOUR WAY OH SWEET GOD" and I thought, probably not the best time to be lounging about without a stitch on.

LOL! I have a thing about sleeping nude...can't do it. I just know if I do, we're going to have a tornado or something. I don't want my fat ass to be caught starkers on the Weather Channel!

Hahaha! Seriously though, I'm glad it wasn't as bad as advertised!

Yeah, I got to stay upstairs and chill and not seek shelter in any "run for the basements!" way, so, that was lucky. ^_^

This is probably my favorite of all the posts you have ever made.

That would be an AWESOME weather warning system.

You're right. No storm is that bad.

I second Gina about this being an A+ post. :D

Also it reminded me of a joke:

A ship's captain is talking to his new first mate about his routine. They go over running the ship, how the dinners work, the best workers among the able seamen, etc. The first mate takes careful mental notes, then asks if the captain has any tips that aren't in the day-to-day running of the ship.

"Well," the captain says, "I have one trick: I always wear a red coat when we engage another vessel. That way, if I bleed, the men cannot tell. Instead they take heart from my fighting skills."

The first mate agrees that this is sound advice, and they get to work.

A week or so out to sea, a pirate ship is sighted on the horizon. The captain gets out his red coat and goes to give a speech to the men; the first mate watches with awe as the captain prepares them.

Then, "It's five ships!" the man at the spyglass yells down.

The captain turns to his boy and says, "Fetch me my brown pants."

My favorite/most recent echo of that was in Monsters Vs. Aliens, where the President calls "a Code Brown, 'cause I gotta go change my trousers."

Hee! I need to see that movie...

I really like that film. It's a film about a kick-ass chick! No, seriously! It's all her movie! And the parody of villain cliches (the take on villain monloguing is hysterical), and the take on Dr. Strangelove...seriously, so much fun.

If your panties are formidable enough to protect from storms, I want to know the brand. ;)

They're formidable enough for me to feel I had one piece of clothing on in case I was suddenly running for a shirt, my purse, and my laptop and taking cover. ^_^

Ah. I rarely get down to my skin thanks to quakes. I wouldn't want to jiggle my way to cover and later accidentally knock out a rescuer with a floppy breast. ;)
