What's wrong with this picture? (CAUTION! Female stuff!)

[Jay 2K Winger]

I tell people if I get pregnant I am naming the kid "Harry Houdini"

How about "Harry Copperfield Blackstone"?
(Points for reference.)

<3 Dresden. I was so sad that they pushed back the release date for the next book, but it's 3 days before my boyfriends birthday. Meaning, I can buy it, read it, and then give it to him for his birthday! Hehe

Dumb questions abound in hospitals ... to wit ....

In LDR to have my first child, clearly pregnant and in active labor. Nurse asks "Is there any chance you might be pregnant"? Umm ya think? I'm here in YOUR LDR having a baby - hmmm could I be pregnant??????

"Oh no, no, this is just a bad case of gas!"

I wonder if anyone who'se been given that diagnosis wound up naming the kid "flatulence".

OT: I guess you've heard the joke about an angry person calling the radio/TV station, and swearing about the weather forecast after they finished shoveling 2 feet of "partly cloudy" off their porch.

^That reminds me of one day when the weather forecaster said that it was "a little breezy outside."

We looked outside. There were giant tree branches blowing down the street.

Little breezy, my ass. We lived right down the street from the TV station, too lol.

Maybe the nurse was thinking of this commercial.

Ironclad Alibi you do know it's not nice to make someone who just had surgery laugh that hard!

Didn't you know laughter is the best medicine.

Yeah, TV weatherspeak:

Chilly = minus-40 degrees F
Breezy = 60-75 mph winds
Snow showers = 1-2 feet of snow
Damp = 3 inches of rain
And my favorite: "Blizzard-like" conditions; how this differs from an actual blizzard, I have yet to hear.

I listen to the report, translate from TV weathercast-fantasy into reality, and go on with life.

I prefer all of the above to the phrase the local forecasters like to use: "wintery mix". "Wintery mix" refers to the combination of every bad thing possible about cold weather, and then some. Under "wintery mix" conditions, you take your life in your own hands if you even look outside, much less venture there.

I'm reminded of the weather forecast from one of Kermit Schafer's "bloopers" collections. "I hesitate to say it's raining, because the weather forecast is calling it 'fog'. Well, I'm here to tell you, the 'fog' is overflowing the sewers out there..."

[Dragon_Dreamer]

Around here, we call "blizzard-like" or "blizzard conditions" if it reaches the required windspeeds and snowfall for a few hours to a day.

A true "blizzard" to us is more than 24 (and to some more than 48) hours.

[LadyAndreca]

"Blizzard-like" conditions can dump three feet of snow on us here. The weather people refuse to call anything around here a blizzard. It's either "blizzard-like", or if the wind direction is right, a "nor'easter".
