Ida was my grandmother's name. She would always ask me "did you eat"? If not, she would serve me chicken soup with carrots that had the thickness of tree branches.

Wouldn't that make it a perfect name for a hurricane?

How is anyone on Cuba still alive? They get hit by every damned hurricane that comes through the gulf.

sounds like this lady.

Ida know?

//ycdtotv

Ida know where it's going. I called the weather service but they blew me off.

45 seconds! Damm Your Honesty!!!

Hurricane Ida...and if you think naming a hurricane after a women is sexist, you obviously haven't seen the gals grabbing for items at a clearance sale!

mark12A: Ida know where it's going. I called the weather service but they blew me off.

What?!?!??! When I call the weather service, they won't even give me a handjob.

Don't Give Your Love to Sexy Ida (new window, with added Olivia Newton John goodness)



/hot like the back of Ike's hand

My butt cheeks hurt everytime I hear the name Ida -- kinda like Harry Potter's zigzag mark.

it can't be a hurricane because the season is over. and i put my generator in winter storage.

/5 months of watching the weather channel for nothing and now this !!

Oh, you funny little fellow, you.
Thanks for the laugh.

You could always name them after politicians.

Bunch of pot smoking hippies.

It's all due to CastroCare (TM), their superior health care system.

In the region where the roses always bloom,
Breathing out upon the air their sweet perfume,
Lives a dusky maid I long to call my own,
For, I know my love for her will never die;
When the sun am sinking in dat Golden West,
Little robin red breast gone to seek their nests,
And I sneak down to dat place I love the best,
Ever'y evening there along I sigh.

Chorus: Ida! Sweet as apple cider,
Sweeter than all I know,
Come out! In the silv'ry moonlight,
Of love we'll whisper, so soft and low!
Seems as tho' can't live without you,
Listen, please, honey do!
Ida! I idolize yer
I love you, Ida, 'deed I do.

How could I not believe, when Ida tells me to?

/20 internet points for a Farker who can pick the reference without googling it.

Average year: 10 named storms, 3 hurricanes, 2 major.

This year: 9 named storms, 3 hurricanes, 2 major.

It's amazing how quiet things seem when you actually have a year that's not wildly above-average.

Ida?

You didn't learn much then. Hurricane season doesn't officially end until Nov. 30.

I have a great-aunt named Ida.

It was a common name. I had one too and her sister, Elva.

F*cking great.....As if I needed another reason to move off this god forsaken coast. At least its not going to be a 3 or 4 when it hits.

/Lives in Mobile
//worked at 911 during Ivan and Katrina
///Is so glad hes not working there now
////Category 4 slashies

I'd let this Ida pinch more then my cheeks:

I lost my Ida in a flood..

Nocens: Hurricane season doesn't officially end until Nov. 30.

yeah i keep forgetting that. probably because once you get into mid-late october you can pretty much relax.

I've got about 500 rounds of 9mm, 50 cans of spam, and 55 gallons of potable water. Bring it you old bag.

/In NOLA
//Also have 50 gallons of Hurricane's Pre-Mixed for the partay.

I picked a bad time to spend a semester in New Orleans.

/Maybe I should go buy a gun today.

Ida ida fo fida, fee fi mo mida, Ida.

It's true, but you shouldn't say it.

No Edith Massey pictures yet? What are you all, heterosexuals?

Ida Know is related to Not Me, Snot Me

obligatory plug for my hurricane page..

Vicejay's hurricane thingy (pops)

I had a great aunt Ida, she lived on rum and Coca-Cola

♫ Ida, sweet as apple cida ... ♪

When I was about four years old I was at dinner with my family and at some point a man announced over the intercom that it was "Ida's 60th birthday!" to which people clapped and cheered. As the noise quieted down, I looked over at my mom and said calmly, "Ida's gonna die tonight."

We're only on "I?" Al Gore said that after Katrina (a "K" in August), we'd be up into the X's by November and the hurricane season would last all year and they would all be Category 8 storms capable of rendering people sterile by just seeing it.

I guess global warming is dead. Now, if we could only find man-bear-pig.

I live in Gainesville, which is just below its path. I hope they cancel classes.

I know what you mean, too quiet...

When I was a kid, there was a mean old biatch who lived across the street named Ida Teets. A real get-offa-mah-lawn type.

/Don't know why I felt the need to add that...

Does this mean they're going to jack up gas prices to four bucks a gallon again?

The nice lady who took care of me when mom was at work was Ida Schmidke. She taught me how to play cards, too. Later, I read some 60s book where one of the characters was a hooker named Ida. I LOL'd. As bad as a hurricane name, it's a much worse hooker name.

Do Atlantic and Pacific storms get named seperately? I recall that there was just a 'Rick' that hit the Pacific coast, which is clearly further down the alphabet than 'Ida'. I just presumed that all hurricanes were on the same naming list regardless of ocean.

me, too... I had a great-aunt named Ida.

Nope This explains things.

There's a cool band from Canada called Great Aunt Ida...
