Beware of "the Blob."

Time to break out the weather rocks.

e examples of the instructions for the weather stone include:

If the rock is wet, it’s raining.
If the rock is swinging, the wind is blowing.
If the rock casts a shadow, the sun is shining.
If the rock does not cast a shadow and is not wet, the sky is cloudy.
If the rock is not visible, it is foggy.
If the rock is white, it is snowing.
If the rock is coated with ice, there is a frost.
If the ice is thick, it’s a heavy frost.
If the rock is bouncing, there is an earthquake.
If the rock is under water, there is a flood.
If the rock is warm, it is sunny.
If the rock is missing, there was a tornado.
If the rock is wet and swinging violently, there is a hurricane.
If the rock has white splats on it, watch out for birds.

Polar Vortex, Godzilla El Nino, the Blob. Are we watching the weather report on the news or going to a horror movie? I guess these days they are the same thing. Gotta get those ratings up!!

On a different note, are they sure all that sea life isn’t being affected by radiation from Fukushima? Did they ever get it under control?

The climate porn fanatics have nothing better to do than to sit around and name it when one of them passes gas.

I remember when the EL NINO name became popular among weather forecasters.
An early snow storm hit Kansas and Nebraska. Seven hundred miles away our weather chick stood out in the dark parking lot and said...”The question that is on everyone’s mind,” (then she looks straight into the camera with a look of terror on her face) “IS THIS EL NINO?”

I wanted to throw a boot through the TV.

Take away their funding since computers can now do their jobs. Save millions and get rid of the loonies in one fell swoop.

So what is this horrible threat the headline warns of...

“The first effect has been warming temperatures in the Pacific Northwest.”

PANIC! RUN! DANGER!

California:
They will whine when its sunny
They will complain when it rains
They will moan when they are rich
They beg when they are poor.

Don’t feel like you are alone
All California must get stoned
