For some odd reason evertime I hear the mention of those Oklihoma wild fires in the news I picture Stingray with his new hat on, fighting the fire away from his house using his trebuchet and water ballons.........

ChadTower · « **Reply #1 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:19:39 am »

Duh. He's not flinging water at the fire. He's flinging fire at the water.

what the hell was I thinking..........

He lives too far away from anywhere that should be burned down. The fire would have to commute in by him.

Oklihoma can't be as big as they show it on the map... I thought there was only a dozen houses in that state....

That's why Stingray's net connection is so slow... packets are sent from router to router by trebuchet.

Seems like he put up a dress code and started doing the cover charge thing just now

Stingray · « **Reply #8 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:46:56 am »

Smoke was so thick day before yesterday that you could only see a few yards. Seems like the whole state was on fire. Our worthless governor finally issued a burn ban. Way to slam that barn door after the horses are already gone.

Well the flood ban worked so well in Louisiana it was the perfect organizational model.

I heard Stingray was quoted in the news "George Bush hates Oklihomo-ians"

The problem isn't the fire, it's Oklahoman society. The fire has been made to feel excluded and repressed for too long. The fire has been made to feel disenfranchised. If Oklahoman society would simply open its arms to the fire, to give the fire a chance, the fire would feel better.

Hey stingray you been ~~looting~~ finding enough ~~beer~~ essentials to survive?

ChadTower · « **Reply #14 on:** January 03, 2006, 11:10:03 am »

It is not the fire's fault. Those trees and bushes were asking for it, all dry and twiggy.

Stingray · « **Reply #15 on:** January 03, 2006, 11:28:19 am »

Can we have some rain now please?

ChadTower · « **Reply #16 on:** January 03, 2006, 11:30:20 am »

No, until you have enacted Affirmative Action laws for the fire, you do not deserve rain, you elementist.

Stingray · « **Reply #17 on:** January 03, 2006, 11:43:42 am »

The only good fire is an extinguished fire.

This is blatant elemental discrimination. I'm calling Jesse Jackson.

Stingray · « **Reply #19 on:** January 03, 2006, 11:46:21 am »

Tell him to bring a bucket of water.

ChadTower · « **Reply #20 on:** January 03, 2006, 11:47:10 am »

I'll spike it with kerosene.

Oklahoma could have used this water......

Hey, wait. Oklahoma was on CNN and it wasn't because we pay our teachers less than every other state in the US. This must be a good thing. I for one welcome our new firey overlords.

The water was dumped into a sewer and the cans sent for recycling.

ChadTower · « **Reply #25 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:09:34 pm »

Yes, let's save thousands of unlabeled, expired cans of liquid and then hand them out at a later date.

Stingray · « **Reply #26 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:09:58 pm »

Actually I didn't mean to quote you at all. Or maybe I did, but then changed my mind. In any case, two facts remain. The fires are Bush's fault, and that asian chick on battlestar galactica is hot.

ChadTower · « **Reply #27 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:11:20 pm »

I tried watching that show... it was like watching paint dry... except that in this case, the paint was applied 5 years ago.

it's water when does water expire.... besides they could have poured it on the fire

ChadTower · « **Reply #29 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:14:32 pm »

The cans are UNLABELED.

How are they going to know two years from now what is in the cans?

Yes, then later on assume liability that they relabeled cans.

It all sounds simple, but in reality, when everyone is constantly looking for a reason to point fingers, this was the only thing that could have been done with it.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #34 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:24:13 pm »

they still could have thrown it on the fire

ChadTower · « **Reply #35 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:25:06 pm »

Sure, if they want to hire someone to open a million 12 ounce cans.

EDIT: okay, I just almost wet myself with this mental image:

Handing Stingray 150,000 cans marked BEER in black marker... and having him open them one by one, tasting each one, and going "damn that's water too" before throwing it into the fire...

...then at the end someone coming up and saying "where's all my Budweiser?"

missioncontrol · « **Reply #36 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:28:43 pm »

drop the bottles and all....

The heat will rupture the bottles if the fall doesn't and Stingray has allready mentioned he's never been to a landfill, it could be a FEMA BYOlandfill operation in Oklahoma........

Cool, then the toxic cloud from all that burning plastic can push all of the smoke out of the state.
