We give huricanes human names. Many mountains and
volcanoes
have human names of some sort. The practice can work
both
ways. Let's start naming our children after natural disasters:
Twister Smith
Earthquake Stokes
Tidal Wave Burke
If we feel like there aren't enough general
disasters to use,
we can start using specific incidents or disasters other than
natural ones:
Mount St. Helena's Eruption Murphy
Challenger Explosion Gates
El Nino

Not to be confused with Al Nino. [mrkillboy, Jun 28 2001, last modified Oct 21 2004]

erm... Id rather not be called any of them... |
|

I gather you haven't heard of the Snarfy Custard Factory explosion of 1964... |
|
| |
Hurricane Carter. Should include minor events for people without overblown egos: Light Drizzle McDougal, Foggy Marx. |
|
| |
That's "Mount St. Helens", not "St. Helena's". |
|
| |
One of my favorite stories I've heard is how an American man called Al Nino gets abuse from people affected by the El Nino phenomenon. |
|

Like the sisters: Hope, Faith, Charity, Joy and Trauma |

Just call me Squall Arghblah. |

This is sort of baked in the slowest and dullest game in the world, snooker. Two of it's most famous proponents being 'Hurricane' Higgins and 'Whirlwind' White. Though these are nicknames rather than their actual given names.
To my mind they would be more correctly designated as 'Light Breeze' and 'Gentle Zephyr'. And as for the infamous Eddie Charlton. 'Continental Drift' would seem appropriate. |

Sounds like something particularly obnoxious from McDonalds. I'll have that with fries, please. |

Cyclone Cindy, Twister Twyla, Gale Gail. |

I just got that now. A year and a half later... |

I once saw an Oprah episode with a guy who legally changed his name to "Bass Fishing In The Rivers Of America". Not really a disaster, but I did have this horrible experience with a treble hoook once... |

They give hurricanes names, like
Andy, and Bob (why the fuck they
gave it that name) why not
tornadoes? |
|
| |
Twister Smith would be a great name for a rockabilly guitar player. |
|
| |
Avalanche Blob . . . kind of has a ring to it. |
|
| |
Plague David, Blight Johnson, George W Bushfire. |

I have a good friend named Katrina. Now everybody knows how to spell her name. |
