freeflyflunky 0 #1 November 28, 2005 Yep. I'm still a snow "refugee" stuck in the middle of freakin' Nebraska. There are 52 other people stuck with us in this small little church in Gothemberg, NE. Guess the road is closed for the next 70 miles. I can honestly say that I have never wanted to be in Omaha so bad ...what I wouldn't give to be able to order a pizza right now instead of eating crusty donuts and cereal with all the other "refugees." We will probably be stuck here tonight too. I'm going to go stake out a good comfy church pew a little earlier tonight (By the way, I don't know if my work really believes I'm stranded -- so anyone reading this that knows where I work -- feel free to call them tomorrow morning and validate my story_______________________________________ Oh, and one more thing...Ninjas ARE way cooler than pirates.

Wait, that wasn't very nice... sorry, it's just that I've been fighting with the other refugees for leftover church chili and I'm getting a little rowdy...If anyone tries to take my sleeping bag again tonight -- I might have to use that homemade shiv._______________________________________ Oh, and one more thing...Ninjas ARE way cooler than pirates.

freeflyflunky 0 #6 November 28, 2005 *** That trucker guy still with you ___________________________________________ Yeah...he's playing checkers with some college student from Wisconsin. I think I heard them discussing Tolstoy -- so, maybe I misjudged him a bit... I'm sure that by the end of this misadventure, I'll know his whole lifestory. I think I've already talked to all the interesting looking people -- so it will be on to the second tier soon._______________________________________ Oh, and one more thing...Ninjas ARE way cooler than pirates.

NWFlyer 2 #7 November 28, 2005 But you've got internet access in a church. That's pretty cool. Hope you get moving soon."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

gravitysucks 0 #9 November 28, 2005 Hey, I'm stranded in a church too in the middle of Nebraska. A church which also happens to have wireless, which doesn't make much sense to me. I keep seeing a dark and mysterious ninja-like figure sneaking around and stealing other people's donuts. I thought I saw it a few minutes ago at my laptop playing Texas Hold 'Em online. But when I looked back again it was gone and all that was there was a few donut crumbs and a ring from a coffee cup. Filthy ninjas. I'm going to have to rely on my pirate skills to commandeer some chili or something, and then after I have a snack....................... BOOM! WHIZZAK! Ninja'd...... (a scuffle ensues) KAPOW! PIRATE STYLE!!! Who will prevail?????? tune in after the next road report, same dz.com channel, same dz.com stranded in a church thred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #10 November 28, 2005 I got stranded in Salina Kansas, years ago. Same reason... snow covered roads. Went back through, a few months later and the town was just about gone... tornadoes! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflyflunky 0 #11 November 28, 2005 So I'm stuck here with the Pirate, and we got to talking about this whole stranded thing... mainly about who among the people that we know would be the best people to be stranded with (since we're obviously getting on each other's nerves....) Anyway, after eliminating most of our non-skydiving friends for being too boring, we had to eliminate most of our skydiving friends for being too rowdy (although there are five drunk U of W students holed up in the choir room right now) Obviously, that doesn't leave many people that I'd like to be stuck with ... which kinda made me wonder if anyone would really want to be stuck with me... Which brings me back to the pirate. I tricked him into leaving the room (so I could use the computer ) by telling them they had cookies down in the fellowship hall...bwaaah ha ha!!! P.S. Someone just eyed my pillow...if he tries to take it, I may just have to bust out some Ninja style (true, he's like seven...but things are tough here in the shelter....)_______________________________________ Oh, and one more thing...Ninjas ARE way cooler than pirates.
