Been sitting here for a while trying to decide what to write about. Finally came up with this and if you're reading this, it looks like it won. So here's the question I got: Who names the hurricanes? We live in a democratic society so I'm sure that there's something like a group consensus (um, sure) but there has to be one person, probably with an eye patch and a pegleg, who says "yeah, go with it." But here's the thing, up until recently, hurricanes always had names that evoked fear in trailer parks everywhere. But, "Hurricane Charlie?" What the hell? Was there a changing of the guard recently? We're still waiting until the final polling results are in but Fox News can now safely report that a person named "Charlie" has a 90% greater chance of getting a "Swirlie" in high school than any other male name.

Whose call was this? Shit, even Bertha (the fat, smart girl in the front left desk in algebra 2)* evokes more fear than Charlie. I mean, in the world of Hurricanes, Phillip, Gloria, Andrew, all of these scream fire and brimstone but Charlie? Charlie screams a silent fart in an open field with a gentle breeze going the other direction. Imagine if this person was in charge of propaganda during WWI or WWII. Probably the same guy who came up with farfegnugen. All I'm saying is if your going to get your ass kicked, wouldn't you rather it was by Carl Dorn than by Dickie Thornhipe III?


*On a side note, Bertha is currently the majority owner of Mattel Inc. and spends most of her time choosing which of her Greek love slaves will be her sex toy for the evening.
