Time to Virtual Hurricane Party (...like it's 1999!)

In honor of Monsieur Ike brewing and slowly creeping his way out of the gulf, I have decided to host a hurricane party. Of course, this party will be virtual, that way it stays safe, dry, and everyone can come!

You are all cordially invited to join me in the safety and relative dryness of netspace as we weather out the storm¹ in our respective corners of the world. Virtual blankets, cots, and bean bag chairs are scattered about this post for your comfort, a massive imaginary entertainment center to your right, and of course, the snack table in the back. For the imbibers, I direct you the invisible well-stocked bar, where the wild-haired Czech/bartender² will be glad to assist you. We also have a virtual minifridge stocked with plenty of soda and water for tho who prefer to abstain.

No need to bring anything to the party but yourself, however any offerings of virtual snacks, lawl-worthy net macros, amusing anectdotes, comment!fic/art/etc, YouTube clips, recs, random philosophical discussions, or anything really is always welcomed and appreciated. After all, it's a party!³

Pull up a chair, bean bag, floating carpet, or seating choice of your fancy and join the party in the comments section!

¹ - If it's sunny in your area, we can totally weather that out too. Hey, what are friends for?
² - Use caution when ordering from the Zelenka-tender. He has been known to hoist his fanon, but very potent homebrewed vodka on unsuspecting patrons.
^{3 - There's a distinct possibility I have no earthly clue on how to throw parties?}

First up, my favoritest commercial. Ever.

Do you want to ride with Batman? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPRscxQZs8E)

OMG I LOVE THAT COMMERCIAL.

I remember when it was originally on; we quoted it for years. Years! I actually went and tracked it down myself a couple months ago...

A few other favorite commercials:

That old Sprite campaign cracked me up... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwSOfW-9jXw)

Neil Patrick Harris! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TusJ8HSLaUs)

And of course the Got Milk commercials:
Wait a minute...where am I? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtxDhWAV9Oc)
And the original - who shot Alexander Hamilton? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLSsswr6z9Y)

It's like the best commercial evah! I remember quoting it a lot in high school, especially at very dramatic (re: dull) moments.

And of course the Got Milk commercials
Oh, god, how could I forget the Got Milk commercials? The Heaven/Hell one is my favorite, but the Alexander Hamilton one still cracks me up as well!

Speaking of soda commercials:
Make 7-Up Yours (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsMFZBDIcFs)

Dramatic Lemur (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkqqMPPg2VI)

The first time I saw this, I rewatched it about a dozen times in a row. I don't know what that says about my sense of humor. Nothing good I suspect.

Heeeee!

Of course, there's always Celebrity Jeopardy.

"I'll take the rapists for $20!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhy35FAxQBk)

BAHAHAHa, oh, you have EXCELLENT taste! Both the snickers commercial (as

xparrot already said, we used to quote it. A LOT. And the SNL CJ? We have *all* of 'em, (in veerrrrry low video quality, but still ^_-) "I can't remember the rest, but your mother's a whore!"

I would contribute, but sadly, I think neechan's already beat me to most of the links. Err, do crazy random *huggles* count as contribution?

I lied, two *very* random links:

Spinning dancer (http://greengabbro.net/2007/10/20/the-spinning-dancer-and-the-brain/): Yay for weird brain tricks, which way does she spin?

And so this is a charity site (http://www.freepoverty.com/), and I really do hope I'm donating that much water, but the sad truth is I keep going back cause the random test of my geography knowledge is strangely addictive. (But hey, now I'm finally learning all my African countries. That's a plus, right? ^_-)

Ooh, I donated 54 cups! (It took me a second to figure out I was supposed to click on the area, I R slow). That is a teeny bit addictive.

Although that dancer... I swear she's switching directions when I'm not looking!

Yeeeeah, just a teeeeeny bit ^_- (I've played enough that I've gotten over 400 cups...oops? :-p)

And did you read the thing on the dancer? oh, optical illusions are just so cool!

Ahahaha! "The day is mine!" Celebrity Jeopardy never fails to cheer me up! I actually wound up watching two last night that I hadn't seen before, and I thought I'd seen 'em all.

Crazy random huggles are always welcome as well! :D

The Quantum of Solace (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kQW2MtibAmk) trailer looks all kinds of cool. But the proposed theme song (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TMoJRLStD9c) is even better...

LMAO! "The Santum of Quolace... I might have gotten that confused..."

The trailer does look cool, but that theme song rocks my socks off!

Because there can never be too many cat macros.³

Dramatic Kitteh questions Ceiling Cat. (http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/funny-pictures-cat-wonders-why-dogs-were-invented1.jpg)

Kitteh meets Kid (http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/funny-pictures-cat-has-a-kid.jpg)

To the rescue! (http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/128347709988750000duntwurryill.jpg)

Emo!Goat (http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/funny-pictures-emo-goat-in-tree.jpg?w=500&h=336)

*runs in carrying supplies, dripping wet and gasping* Oh shoot, sorry I'm late, but my raft got caught in some kind of drain, anyway, I brought snacks! Home made! Triple fudge cookies and brownies, hot chocolate, pizza, and er, oh yeah, *evil smirk* very blue Atlantis posters!!! So come on and have at it, *grabs rubber ducky and sends it adrift* Daffy'll just be keeping on eyes on things!

I'm a bit late too...stupid time zones!! Hmm, looks like you've all been having fun! So, hey, have you seen this?

Mean Kitty Song!

And this one just cracks me up too Space 1899"!

Late? The party's just getting started!

Mean Kitty made me snorfle. I've never had a cat like that. Nope. Not at all.

Ahh, I'm late too! But I'll bring a generator for the TV!

Sticking to the scifi theme, a hilarious commercial with the Star Trek crew (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhc-qgsfTHw)

And BUBBLES!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMCf7SNUb-Q)!! I love watching that. Too bad Galveston will be making bubbles too.

Nah, you're just making a fashionable entrance!

Oh, the MCI/AT&T battles of the 90's. That brings up memories! And funny, I think I remember watching that commercial when it originally aired and I had no idea who any of them were except for Riker XD

And dolphins! So cute!

haha. That's awesome.

You must be watching the newscasts right? I know I am. I'm glued to the weather channel.

We were watching a Fox 26 Newscast a few minutes ago (they're extending their broadcast), and, um, yeah. The Weather Channel is only doing sensationalism coverage if that's anything to go by. It's not bad, but while we were watching a livecam, in about a two-minute period I think we saw three transformers blow around the Medical Center.

The good news is that there doesn't appear to be a lot of rain with the storm, so maybe we'll avoid the flooding issue this time around. *crosses fingers* Our house has been flooded three times so far before a lot of renovations were done to the drainage systems, so I'm hoping we avoid that bullet. I'm hoping your parents are in a higher elevation area.

They are. They're good. Out of power though, maybe for a week or more according to Centerpoint. They have some minor damage: Fences gone or mangled, screens torn up, and a whopping 8 trees down. And we're talking huge oaks and some tall pines. We're very lucky nothing fell on the house!!
