Hurricane Butch McBalls, Stephen Colbert

Changing a severe hurricane’s name from Charley to Eloise could nearly triple its death toll

Hurricane Butch McBallsIn the world of black widow data comes the news that girly named hurricanes have higher death rates than those with boy names.

There is something to that, I would party through Hurricane Cinderella and run like hell from Hurricane Rambo.

There is a popular game fish out a ways in the sea. They get up to 100 pounds, fight well – usually on the surface for a good show, there is lots of meat and they good. In Florida, and I assume most of the civilized world, thet are called COBIA.  A nice three syllable name that portends some Latin cool.  A top brand of offshore fishing boats even picked it up as their brand name.

Down here in the less civilized part of the world, these fish are called LING.  You know, like some yellow goo that flies out of you nose. You should see my new car, its a LING! This is my son Bob and my daughter Ling.   WAITER! THERE’S A LING IN MY SOUP!
