The Mother 'Effin WEATHER Thread

Going to hit 100 this week, and a genius house guest somehow jammed an office chair into the ceiling fan of my office/computer room, whilst spinning at full speed. Time to move the office downstairs, I guess.

No matter how many times I read this…

[KevinC]

I know, right? Trust me, I was there (and took a ceiling fan blade to the head for my trouble) and I still am having trouble processing it.

[Djscman]

Was your houseguest, in fact, a super genius, and had only attached the rockets to your office chair in order to reach the velocity necessary to catch that damnable, delicious bird?

[arrendek]

Or maybe he’s invented a levitating office chair which was piloted directly into the fan? What are you hiding from us, Kevin!?

[arrendek]

Or maybe because we know Kevin is 9 feet tall, his office chair is also very tall.

[KevinC]

Haha. I’m pretty tall at 6’7", but no gargantuan office chairs, unfortunately.

I was at my desk in my office and he was going to borrow a chair from the room. He wasn’t quite sure he had enough room to squeeze past me with the chair, so instead of being a normal person and asking if I could scoot in or move for a second, he thought he’d just lift the entirety of second chair over my head, right into the ceiling fan.

The cherry on top was him staring in bewilderment after the blade when careening off the back of skull and asking out loud “What the hell, that broke it?”.

[Mark_Crump]

Next thing you know, he will drill holes in your monitor.

[Misguided]

Yeah, was in Jacksonville a few weeks ago.

[abidingdude]

Miserable here in DC for the rest of the week.

When you think your weather is bad, remember that you could be in a lightning storm over an erupting volcano.

[Oghier]

That’s clearly a rift to some horror dimension.

[RichVR]

I saw that earlier on this site.

Of course a photographer has a site that you can’t right click on and copy. OTOH I really wanted that exact picture. How did you get it?

[divedivedive]

Yeah, at a certain point that isn’t really weather anymore. As Ray Stantz says, that’s real wrath of god type stuff.

[Balasarius]

In Chrome you can press F12 and start digging through the code to get the image if you’re desparate enough. It’s not as hard as it sounds.

[arrendek]

There are also extensions for FF and Chrome to re-enable right click.

[MrGrumpy]

You can just use the snipping tool that comes with Windows, et voila:

[CraigM]

Is it crazy that I want to go there?

[jpinard]

Yeah, this sucks, it’s gonna hit 80 on Thursday.

I wish it were “only” 80*. This weather sucks.

Japan’s Hiroshima prefecture is apparently getting wrecked by rain.

Japan floods and landslides kills scores

[divedivedive]

I love the word “prefecture” because it reminds me of the Mr Sparkle episode.
