That is a GREAT tagline!!!!!

I have listened to that song a bunch of times, and it always gives me a sense of the feeling of helplessness that nature can engender amongst those who have seen it at its worst.

When experienced sailors look at each other and say "We're screwed..." it usually means something.

Usually sailors will put on a good show for each other. In addition to being an ego thing, it helps keep morale up just a little bit longer.

The tagline is the last part of a line from a show called "Slings and Arrows", which begins, "Many of you are under the impression that my reason is hanging by a thread. I'm here to tell you that the best stuff happens just before the thread snaps."

We now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion.

Listening to the song years ago made me want to go to the north shore of the UP in Nov. in hopes of experiencing the power of one of those storms, from the safety of shore of course. That and seeing the Aurora Borealis are still on my to-do-list.
