Oh snap!

Just a few more of those to make up for the last 150+ years and we will be good.

ROCLAMATION

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!

What the fark is wrong with you Southerners? My husband wants to move back home to Alabama or Tennessee. The more I read about that shiat down there the less I want my kids to admit to anyone they are from the South.

Did you read the whole thing? It's pretty funny. "Whereas, it is feared that if today they come for our river, tomorrow they might come for our Jack Daniels or George Dickel..."

I liked that clause best.

I stay out of Northern Georgia on account of the Squidbillies.

Georgia wouldn't have as much of a problem with water if Coca-Cola wasn't sucking up their precious resource. For 2004 Coke's total worldwide water usage was close to 75 billion gallons of water with 63% of that water disposed of as waste water due to cleaning of bottles and machinery. Source: Link (new window) Seems like they could work on that loss ratio somewhat by reclaiming and filtering that!

Ok To clarify, I was laughing at the resolution, and then the second part of my post is directed at the ass hats in Georgia who think the answer to their water needs it to try and annex a river instead of actually curbing growth to a reasonable and manageable pace or adopting strict conservation measures.

I've been saying this for some time.. but.. when you really look at it.. how much of that water really came from Georgia anyway. It is worldwide water use that the article speaks of. Still.. even if 1% of that were in Georgia...it would make a dramatic difference.

I dunno, managing your growth so that you didn't create a crisis in fixed resources probably would have done some good too.

Agreed. I did look but simply couldn't find info for Georgia specifically.

Or, Georgia could maybe improve their water usage habits. They start grabbing water from the Tennessee, and Northern Alabama suffers as well since our water source is the Tennessee as well. Not to mention the fact that the Tennessee supplies power through hydroelectricity and water for nuke plants, both of which would be reduced by Georgia stealing water.

Holy hell.. it actually says that!! ahahaha awesome

Dr.Knockboots: Holy hell.. it actually says that!! ahahaha awesome

Hehe, if Georgia cuts of my supply of Dickel, they'll be hell to pay.

Unlike Southerners, Northerners have absolutely no sense of humor about themselves.

The water is not for us, it's for the mussels downstream in Florida.

Have you seen the North? For the most part it's a wasteland shiathole. The people are assholes and it matters more what you do for a living, rather than who you are. This is a way for northerners to make their horrible existence more bearable.

KellyLockhart: Oh snap!

I'll see your "oh snap" and raise you a



Truly funny. ;)

When will those stupid hillbillies learn to wear their stillsuits instead of selling them for meth? It's bad enough that Baron Harkonnen is mismanaging the water supplies in the first place, but jeez people, show some responsibility.

Georgia, stop issuing building permits if you can't supply the folks moving in with water. That's one of the great benefits of being about to control the contructoin of new housing!

You're both totally wrong and stupid. The West is the Best! That rhymes and you know it does. Admit it!

I came to this thread for pictures of hot girls from God-forsaken small towns.

Deliver.

That's all.

I didn't know that Coke bottled everything in Atlanta and then shipped it all over the world. How cost effective! How efficient! How profitable!

Pre-emptive water war. You are either with Atlanta or against Atlanta.

"Your water. Give it to us."

GAT_00: Or, Georgia could maybe improve their water usage habits.

It sounds like they're doing everything BUT water conservation. But then again it's a Republican state, so conservation and thinking ahead go out the window.

Coca-Cola operates a worldwide independent bottling and distribution network. That means that the coke you have in your fridge was probably bottled in your state. They produce syrups and powders that licensed bottlers use to mix coca-cola, carbonate and bottle it. They have several plants worldwide that they own that produce the syrups. There are probably more Coke owned syrup production facilities in New York, than Georgia, and there are certainly more bottling operations in bigger states.

Just because Coke's HQ is in Atlanta, and it was founded there, doesn't mean that GA produces more coca-cola than any other state.

/Dad worked for coke for a long time. Been to many bottling plants, in many states.

No the drought is caused by homosexuals. That needs to be offset by the prayers of good, God-fearing Christians. If there's no water it just means you're not praying hard enough. And you masturbate too much.

What's the downside to the entire South becoming a desert wasteland?

Oh yeah, they'll move to the North.

Like such as South Carolina and the Iraq like such as?

I hope this becomes some kind of quirky tradition in the future. Every year Chattanooga sends Georgia a truck load of water, even after the drought lifts, and the news outlets will run "made for Fark" articles about the origin of the tradition. And we'll all get to tell our crotchfruit how we remember the beginning of it all. Sweet.

DrForrester: What's the downside to the entire South becoming a desert wasteland?

Strange, to me it seems every Northerner I know cant wait to retire, move to the South then complain about it.

I've lived in both, and they're both fine. As for wastelands, I couldn't believe a "Tennessee barn" was considered something worth advertising in the real estate market there.

Atlanta will have plenty of water soon enough.

Lighten up, Francis, I'm just funnin' ya.

Also, I'm a Northern Californian. I live where the water is :)

Oh Johnny Reb! What will you do next!?

Ooops. Fail on my part. That last post was meant to quote FLMountainMan.

As someone who grew up nine miles from Canada in northern MN I am getting a kick out of your reply.

Our horrible existence included clean skies, clean and plentiful water, peaceful Canadians across the border, and zero hurricanes per year on average.

Plus the Union never had to send the army here...

Not enough water in the drought. Keep groeing and there won't be enough water in a wet season. GROWTH.

No prob, I was just funnin' ya too - I watched Chinatown about two weeks ago.

Czar - are you ever the least bit intentionally humorous?
