This is what passes for a "Severe Weather Alert" around here: "MINOR TIDAL OVERFLOW POSSIBLE FOR LOW LYING BEACHES"

Ooh, help, the sand's getting wet. What a joke.

This is another one of those things you should be keeping to yourself on behalf of your eastern buddies

Oh, right. I just keep checking the weather on Yahoo and it's got a stupid red asterisk reminding me about it. Ridiculous.

MINOR TIDAL OVERFLOW POSSIBLE FOR LOW LYING BEACHES

Does that mean the tide is comming in?

Geesh, I thought that said Low "Flying" Beaches....gotta get more sleep...

Well, it's difficult for all those grains of sand to get the right airspe...ahem... right.

*slinks off*

Word of the day:

Lift.


Thank you for your patronage.

You know, I never used to shop here much, but it's such a great thing what you just did, putting the customer first, well, I'm gonna' be an Amanda regular from now on!

You know, when my father founded this company back in the '40s he says to me, he says "You gotta make sure your socks match". Quite a bit later he re-thunk his priorities and decided that pretending to be nice to your customers is a good thing.

That same down-home taste can still be found today. With continued under-wire support and frequent oil changes, we're bringing the savings home to you!

*turns to the camera*

*plasters on a wooden smile*

Well, folks, as you can see, her socks don't match, but she IS willing to pretend to be nice to ya'. So head on down to Amanda's. The best place to shop.

(Amanda's not responsible for lost or stolen items. Amanda is soley the owner and proprietor of Amanda's. Amanda reserves the right to stab any individuals not wearing matching footware and/or sockware. Please approach Amanda only from the Northeast.)

Northeast? Awwwww, man...

I said Northeast and I MEANT Northeast there, Mr. Itchy Pants. Take a plane from Seattle.
