Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 24, 2011
Transcript:
Alice: We need to flush some cubes so it'll snow! Beni: Yeah. Kevin: That's not what makes it snow. What makes it snow is that guy with the map who's on TV. Beni: WHAT? Kevin: Whenever the guy with the map who's on TV panics it snows. Beni: You've got too much faith in the power of grown-ups. Alice: Yeah. Kevin.

When there is nothing but a pack of hot dog buns and a squished loaf of generic sandwich bread on the entire bread isle, it’s gonna snow.

Alice’s ice cub poem is my favorite
“Ice cube, ice cube in the pot. Gee I hope it snows a lot! Pull the handle. down it goes. May it bring us Piles of snows! Harken to me bathroom plumbing! Let there be a snowstorm coming! Winter weather her my shout. I wear my PJs inside out!”

I’m surprised Alice didn’t call him bucket head.

^ That’s it. You wear your pajamas inside out and sleep with a spoon under your pillow. At least, that’s what the kids here do.

Might as well hold the weatherman responsible for snow, since we blame him when it doesn’t rain!

Isn’t great to be a kid and really want it to snow? I sure have forgotten that feeling.

They must not live in tornado ally – the weather guys there panic all the time, and it isn’t usually snow that falls from the sky!
JP Steve Premium Member almost 14 years ago
Around here it only snows when the guy with the map says we’re going to get sunshine!

They’re always panicking on the news now. And as for forecasting.. weather-readers are the blind hogs, and correct forecasts are the acorns.

Gosh! With all of the advanced equipment, our local weather folks get it right most of the time.

I think they are in Northern VA. With all the storms going up the east coast this winter, we haven’t had snow yet. It has snowed north of us, east of us, west of us and even south of us, but not here.
