CHANDY: I found Hurricane Irene to be somewhat anticlimactic.
SCHILLING: How can you say dat? Look at my eyes!
CHANDY: I just thought that when Mayor Bloomberg took the unprecedented step of closing down the entire mass transit system, that this would be an event I could tell my grandchildren about. Not that I'll have any grandchildren, obviously, since I'm barren.
SCHILLING: I think dere musta been plutomium or sumthin in de rain! My eyes is glowing!
CHANDY: "Tropical Storm Irene" just doesn't have the same rich cadence. It sounds like a fruity beverage with a little umbrella.
SCHILLING: I wonder if I can bore holes in sumthin with my lazer eyes. I'm gonna try right now. ZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZ
CHANDY: My whole existence has been so deeply disappointing. Why should Irene be any different?
SCHILLING: Uh... I think dat lazer just came out de wrong end. But it smells pretty nuclear. Thanks, Irene!
Many thanks to all of you for your thoughts, prayers and well wishes. The damage to our home is minimal and all our loved ones are safe. Including the pugs. xxxooo

CHANDY: Good gracious, Schilling, your flatulence is ruining my peaceful nap in the sun--the first I've had in days! Sheesh, how am I supposed to cope with all your sophomoric pranks? I'm so done.

Irene was indeed anticlimatic … all those news people made me think we were all going to be living underwater without electricity and no trees for weeks.

Hee Hee Hee....
Chandy, you angst-ridden pug and scihlling, wit doze lazer eyes - so glad you are both safe and dry. Not to mention those humans who live in your house - so glad they're safe, too.

I was waiting for the "Two Pugs Walk Into a Hurricane" joke and then when I saw this picture that's all the funny I needed. Seriously. How could you ever be serious with furry Cheech and Chong reclining on your furniture?

So glad Team Dusty was safe in the storm.

Yay - glad you're all safe and that Irene's bouffant had started to wilt before she blew into town...
Hugs to you!

I agree. I'm totally disappointed with the lack of drama from Irene.
On the other hand, it does warm my heart that you're safe. With your radioactive pugs.

Schilling is still glowing. But I think from other types of gas. Stupid Beggin Strips.
