a.d._510_n_ok 13,216 Report post Posted September 15, 2018 Missouri Town Gets New Newspaper, The Uranus Examiner URANUS, Mo. (AP) — Cue the giggling: A small Missouri town has a new newspaper called The Uranus Examiner. KYTV reports that the newspaper's launch was announced Wednesday, just days after GateHouse Media said it was shuttering Pulaski County's local paper, the Daily Guide. The new publication's editor, Natalie Sanders, led the Daily Guide before leaving in June to start what she calls a "fun" paper that will include local news and promote the tourist town of Uranus, which is pronounced the way any self-respecting class clown would say it. Uranus sits along historic Route 66 and is known for quirky attractions, including a fudge shop and the world's largest belt buckle. https://start.att.net/news/read/category/news/article/the_associated_press-missouri_town_gets_new_newspaper_the_uranus_examin-ap 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Can't find any hard facts about Florence.. well other than from the 'news' who are full of shit (hype) anyway. Christ, there have been hurricanes on the Atlantic since the end of the last ice age but the news would have you believe they discovered them. Well milk it dry boys.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
VFR800 77,679 Report post Posted September 15, 2018 A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?" The blonde said "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and other materials that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" The man replied,"She should, she was standing on it." A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari." 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Turns out you actually have to pluck the fucking bird to get to the chicken. in the past 48 hours 23.04" of rain recorded in Morehead so far, more than 30 inches of rain in Swansboro North Carolina, and by Sunday they're expecting as much as 50" further South. 11 ft storm surge 12 foot flooding in some areas and expected to be well past major flood stage (19 feet) from Sunday morning into at least Wednesday Over 1 million evacuated and 1200 rescued so far. 7 killed so far 900,000 plus without power. Although when it's all said and done, I'm sure you'll still mock the severity of the storm. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
