Are there any seamen involved?

RodneyToady		2011-08-25 04:16:07 PM

I sometimes wonder if when people drown out at sea, a bunch of whales and dolphins gather around and try to figure out what killed the human.

PreMortem		2011-08-25 04:20:42 PM

Probably woulda been a bigger story if it wasn't a pygmy sperm whale.

I expected it to turn into a bowl of petunias.

I used to live near the corner of Seaman and Cumming in Manhattan (it's in the Inwood neighborhood WAAAAAAY up north by the Bronx).

Oh the larfs we had!

I was once at a rest stop on 75 south of Atlanta and saw a van belonging the Cumming First Baptist Church. Thought to myself, that's my kinda church.

All jokes aside, Cumming, Ga is a shiat hole ironically populated with racists and hispanics.

CreepyBasementGuy		2011-08-25 07:50:38 PM

This thread has the potential to be very gross.

Most be some of that tantric stuff. I wonder if that whale knows Sting.

I kind of liked Alpharetta. I lived there a few years and my biggest complaint is the traffic. I'm in Savannah now and I kind of miss Alpharetta.

EchoMike		2011-08-25 07:55:14 PM

That's jizz sad. :-(

Noticeably F.A.T.		2011-08-25 07:55:47 PM

Five hours away? Damn, must be practicing that tantric shiat.

Tillmaster		2011-08-25 07:56:06 PM

The pigmy sperm whales, the only other intelligent species on Earth, tried to warn the humans of the impending disaster. Despite the suicidal nature of the mission, one of them made the ultimate effort, and beached upon a shore in Georgia.

Summoning up its last ounce of strength, it was about to give explicit instructions on how to avoid complete catastrophe, when the humans killed it.

So it goes.

Works in cumming, getting a kick etc...

Just a reminder from the Pacific Northwest about what NOT to do in this situation.

Live in Cumming..NO SERIOUSLY--I really live here. It's awkward every time I have to give someone my address.

Could someone not have rolled it back into the ocean, that was, you know, right there?

"Humans assumed they were the most intelligent creatures on planet Earth because of all the things they've done; agriculture, cities, wars, automobiles while whales just mucked about in the water all day. Whales knew they were more intelligent for exactly the same reasons."

Imagine if your name was Dick and you lived there?

So you call people racists then complain about Hispanics? bravo.

I live in Cumming and love it. Great people, great terrain....or were you living in the Forsyth County jail? That would explain your comment.

ramblur		2011-08-26 12:39:28 AM

Did you know that the city of Alpharetta was almost renamed Throbin? The city council figured anything that close to Cumming had to be!

/an oldie but a goodie 'round these here parts

Oh joy. So the "great white whale" gets all the news but the grey one that spent 2 months in the Klamath River in CA, then beaches itself, dies, gets nada? Goddamn whale of an injustice.

Bagelox-99		2011-08-26 08:48:37 AM

Iowa likes Cumming too:

It's too bad that Cumming isn't in Butts County. Would be twice as funny.

She told me to go to Cumming, but I was already there.

Also there's the Gay fair in October and May. Officially it's called the "Cotton Pickin' Fair" but it takes place in Gay, Georgia.

Funny. They say the same thing about people from Savannah.

Well, he did say something about a shiat hole populated with racists and Mexicans. So yea, I'm guessing jail too.
