getting in the shower!!I hate to be off topic -- especially one so suited to my joint loves of tin foil speculation and terrorist clammering -- but that shower business has become instant and pretty wonderful FR folklore and I was wondering if anybody has ever seen another post from that shower girl. Wasn't her name Brytni, or something like that?

 - 5:25 P.M. UDPATE
BLACKOUT
Much of Jacksonville is without power. The city and some surrounding areas were hit by a major power outage around 4:30 p.m. Bruce Dugan of the JEA told First Coast News that as of 5:00 p.m. power had been restored to about 15 percent of the city. Dugan said there apparently was a transformer fire at the Kennedy Generating Station at Talleyrand. A JEA station near Baldwin was apparently also affected, according to Dugan. Dugan estimated it would probably take at least three hours to restore power to everyone. Power outages have also been reported in Nassau County and Clay County. The city's Emergency Operations Center is being activated and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is requesting that ALL officers report for work. |

A little history about the shower thing-
Around the time of the Anthrax deaths, there was a report similar to this one that was made by some Freeperette, saying she heard some plane was being followed or something to that effect. It was a two or three line post or so. It went something like "OMG, I just heard this on the news, has anyone else heard about it? I need to go take a quick shower and I will check back here for more details." Or something like it.
Ever since, its been a running gag.

Might do Redneckville a little good.
Got my Taylor guitar stolen in Jacksonville. I hope the power stays out for a while.

If the lights don't come on in 15 minutes, then the terrorists have won.

I live here....I live in Clay county
So do I,but my power is obviously working; by the way, NAS Jax generates their own power so the base is still up.

About 3-4 weeks ago someone said she was alive and kicking around here...she's becoming quite popular.
Now, onto my shower. I'm certain there is going to be an airport inncident next and I want to feel and look my freshest!

>A little history about the shower thing- Yes, I know. (Heck, I don't want to toot my own horn [coughs], but I was the first person in that thread to ask her how her shower went. RedBloodedAmerican got there real fast, too...)
I remember the Freeperette's name was some chic variation of Britany, but I don't remember hearing from her since. I hope we didn't frighten her away...

"If the lights don't come on in 15 minutes, then the terrorists have won."LOL. If that's the standard, then California governor Grayout Davis is a terrorist...
