HURRICANE EYE-GOR

   Well, we here in the East are keeping an eye out for Hurricane Igor. Being a "Young Frankenstien" fan, I can't help but call it Eye-Gor. BTW, that was one of the funniest films I've ever seen.
   It's a bit too early to tell if Igor will visit us here in NJ but we'll see what's what. My son, surfer that he is, wants Igor to stop in and set-a-spell and bring some swell. That's ok...so long as Igor keeps his grubby little mitts off my sailboat. Fortunately, there are some great hurricane holes I can duck into.

If Eye-gor does come ashore we'll all be saying "My, what knockers!"

That was a great line!! I think I'm due for a re-view of the movie! Of course, another favorite is "Back to the Future". I've seen it so many times, I have lots of it memorized.

   Looks like Eye-Gor has decided he'd rather visit Bermuda than stop off in NJ. Can't say that I blame him...I've only been in Bermuda once (honeymoon, 1979) had a great time; wonderful place. And the home of my favorite rum, Gosslings Black Seal. But we are getting waves this weekend, I presume from Igor. Surf's up!
   And Julia poses no threat at all except to the Cape Verde Islands.
   Who's next?

Bob23 I am a little upset with your "eye-gor" comment. It has stuck in my brain like a bad record. Now when I talk to someone about "eee-gor" I say w/o thinking "eye-gor" and they look at me funny.  Don't feel too bad, I still say "rod-rah-gweezw" after hearing Les Nessman pronounce Chi-Chi Rodriguez' name probably twenty years ago.

Sorry, Wiggs:
  You wouldn't be the first to say there is a pest side to me. As far as eye-gor is concerned, some have noted how the media shapes our thinking...I don't believe it for a minute!
  Concerning people looking at you funny, well, hang around here too much and you can kiss your reputation goodbye! A small price to pay to be in the company of such noble, brave and witty Compac owners.

94 is next, of course. Looks like it may become a threat to... something west of Africa or Europe. Maybe.
