Flossy??

Hawaii has been spared the wrath of Hurricane Flossie
No, really.
What happened to real names?
What about Bessie, Camille, Aretha? These are names of gospel singers, lady truckers, probation officers. Women with whom you don’t fuck, or if you do it’s on their terms.
On the male side, you’ve got Raoul, Alexis, Luther, Hector or Benson. These are overtures for scary things. The names cast long, dark shadows in doorways. Noms de doom which could belong to international terrorists, which is kind of what hurricanes are.
What’s next, Tropical storm Tristram? Monsoon Percy? It’s a slippery slope to the Penelopes. I have written about hurricanes before, but this?
Flossie my arse.
Oh god no, Not like that.
Have a good weekend, you.

Has there been a Daisy? Maybe they’re starting a new naming convention. Stock names for farm animals, or something. I can’t wait for Babe and Chicken-Licken.
Hurricane Flossie sounds like the name of a rough’n'tough female character from an old Western film. Hurricane Flossie and Bad Jim Owens ride into town on a pair of Palominos – yee haa!
PMSL @ flossie my arse!!
Hilarious! And soo true! Persephone? Raeff?
Hi! Your blog rocks! You might like mine too. It is about perfume prices and stuff.
(I am trying to be a spambot. Is it working?)
Sorry Katy, it’ll never fly.
Leave a comment. Play nice. I will turn this blog around.
