dkodgis wrote:I am here because I cannot show my face in the Nov thread due to my shameful fodder about colder than normal temps and the presage of a bad winter. Yes, I too swallowed the Kickapoo Joy Juice. I was ready to spread my snow-covered wings and fly around Orange County. Alas, now I am but a dropping on the highway of life. I fear I can no longer post with panache and verve. I must leave puckish posts about the weather to others who are pragmatists about winter.
Let this be echoed among the still-faithful in the November thread about me: "And he piled upon the posts, the sum of all the fantasy and longing for winter felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it."
I lurk now behind the coconuts in the lounge, desperate to hide my visage from the public. My betters post not for they know the calamities that will befall them lest they prognosticate wrongly. Even Scott, Janet, Weathermom. CP, Snow, Doc, and a host of thousands know...I was wrong. I can only hope Doc caught something while flyfishing and he is going to throw me a fish to gnaw on out under the moonlight with my bottle of Jack Daniels I wrestled from HeeHaw. As Herman Melville once wrote for 5 cents a word "“...to the last I grapple with thee (winter) ; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.”"
I expect I will get a fruit basket or a deli platter from someone with the kind words on the card saying: "Dude, seriously. You are 70 years young. The weather beat you this time but with enough Jack Daniels, you will be back".
Damian,
This post is amazingly erudite and heartfelt and be assured, disgruntled Mainland long range forecasters always have a haven here in OTI.Be of good cheer my good man, as even our beloved Emperor Frank has seen the futility of trying to present accurate long range Mainland forecast.You have come to the right place, the Coconut Lounge, to drown any long range forecast failure sorrow.At my advanced age (74 next Friday) the only long range forecast that concerns me is waking up tomorrow.
Now, as far as very early OTI immigration stats, we are seeing a slight rise from last year due to the extra mild and dry conditions on the Mainland.This bodes well for OTI and our crews are working 24/7 in all sectors in preparation.
For you I leave this ditty:

and for rain starved Mainlanders:

OTI getting back to full operational status now!
Coconut Lounge fully stocked, Sanitarium fully staffed, all sectors inspected and rehabilitated!
Mainland approaching a Defcon Disappointment level of 1 at this stage with a possible snow event so it gives us a chance to get all staff fine tuned for the big show starting Dec through Mar.

EMS supplies have been ordered, so please keep an eye out for them. I will be stuck on the mainland for a little while yet tending to my local OEM duties, so let me know when the supplies arrive. I will plan a trip to sort everything out once I know they are there. Looks like we may need them sooner rather than later so hopefully I can get there soon. Hope everyone is well and ready for the season!

Thank you OTI Director of Emergency Services Janet! Always good to know your department is ready for any unfortunate accidents such as slipping on bananna peels.
I will contact the OTI Port Official and mention to be on the lookout for your supplies which I will immediately direct to the parking lot of the Coconut Lounge for safe storage until you can get back from your Mainland duties.We should be 100% operational by the end of this week thankfully with this possible snow threat in some Mainland areas.

The "colder" weather season isn't official until your arrival back on the forum. Its anticipated by many. I know you and I don't see eye to eye on a small handful of things in this world, but these 3 extremely important things Im pretty sure we align without issue:
1st: Tom Petty rules
2nd: no cold or snow sucks
3rd: Lots of cold and snow doesn't suck
Good to see you back CP. I hope life is treating you ok.
Cheers
PS Im really hoping this years gross sales on OTI are the least in over a decade. Normally that would spell economic disaster, but in this alter universe we have here low sales means business in booming.

Agree 100% esteemed Praetorian Guard to Emperor Frank ! We at OTI are magnanimous enough to forego record revenues this year in the hopes of a record breaking cold and snowy season for ALL Mainland areas.That magnanimousability is enabled by record financial surpluses of recent snow deprived years on the Mainland with consequential hordes of Mainlanders coming here.Let it be written....;let it be done.
All is right on OTI, our wonderful Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler and Treasurer and founder of OOTI is back in the fold.He has been my right arm here since our inception ten years ago going on eleven now.
LET THE WINTER GAMES BEGIN!!!!

Was able to get away from the mainland for a few days and was surprised there were so many visitors! They are all from NE NJ and just missed the snow by a few miles. I was glad for the company in the Coconut Lounge though and it seems many will be heading back to the mainland for Thanksgiving. Also was a good opportunity to get things organized on my end in case we get an inundation this year. Wishing everyone an easy and safe travel week!

Add to that our mutual love of the Yankees. What a brutal fifth inning that was. I will go to my grave believing if we won game five, which we would have if we didn't unravel in that one inning that will live in infamy, we were going back to LA and winning both games. Error in center aside, Judge found his stroke in game five, homer and a double two walks, and was going to have a huge game six and seven. What could have been.
I still have nightmares, may have to listen to Full Moon Fever tonight to relax.

I couldn't agree more CP. Judge certainly seemed poised to lead us back to a world series victory in games six; then seven. We had so many chances to get out of that inning. IMO Cole's inability to get over and cover first was the nail in the coffin of that game. I know there were a series of follies prior to and after, but I'm sorry, any time a ball is hit to first base the knee jerk for any pitcher is to sprint towards first to cover until the first basemen calls you off. This is some of the very first things they cover when pitchers and catchers report to spring training.

Re: OTI- Radiation contained - The Island is habitable again as of Jan 2023
The recent cold and ,in some Mainland areas, snow, has reduced our immigration totals to the point where all sectors can leisurely put the finishing touches on their readiness plans for the new season.
Interesting development occurred in November, the clinical wing of the OTI Sanitarium had an influx of some Mainlanders for smoke inhalation therapy from Mainland areas that suffered from wildfires.This has never happened in our ten years of existence and Parliament is discussing measures to expedite any possible future reoccurrence of that phenomenon.
We are preparing for the possibility of a Mainland warm up during the traditional "White Christmas" time with a massive upswing of snow deprived Mainlanders but hope for both our sakes it will not happen.

Re: OTI- Radiation contained - The Island is habitable again as of Jan 2023
Dear Director,
I feel we may see an influx next week, as those that missed out on the recent snow events, the upcoming warmth and the fact that we lost a shopping week for Christmas will drive people to come for therapy. I have reordered more oxygen to replace what was used in the smoke inhalation cases so we should be good to go if necessary. Make sure the bar in the Coconut Lounge is stocked, I will make a trip down in a day or 2 and check in. The fact that I am going to get my tree in 50* weather is almost too much to bear, I will need much alcohol therapy!
Yours in alcohol,
Dunnzoo

Dear capable Director of EMS,
Have received your transmission and duly noted! We are up and running at the Sanitarium for snow deprivation and abnormal warmth in winter therapy.I have the crew at the receiving docks on the lookout for the oxygen shipment arriving shortly.Coconut Lounge now fully stocked and ready for service!
I will meet you at the Lounge after you arrive and will lift a glass or two ( or three) to the upcoming wonderful, albeit shortened, Holiday Season!
