ADVICE OF THE DAY – Next time select a manly coast-eating name.

Honestly? Beryl?

Have we really exhausted all the cool Tropical Storm names and now we’re left with feeders like Beryl?

Did we consider:

• Balthasar?
  
• Baldemar?
  
• Britannicus, Broughton, or Bartholomew?
  

No wonder Beryl gave up before it reached the Massachusetts shoreline.
Leaving me to contemplate that very famous limerick:

There once was a storm from Nantucket
Martha’s Vineyard didn’t think they could duck it -
It would rip through Cape Cod, death & destruction its wad,
But with a limp name like Beryl the storm said ‘Fuck It’.

   There once was a storm named Katrina
   With that name, she should be a dreama
   she acted real shitty, destroyed a whole city,
   and everyone knew she was meana.

   CLEARLY, bossy, names are not everything.

   Lt. S. Gardner, U.S. Navy, Ret. said:

   There was a politician named Kerry
   Who stood on a Swift boat drinking sherry,
   I served in 1966 and 1967 on my first tour of duty in Vietnam on Swift boats, and I did my second tour in ‘68 and ‘69, involved with John Kerry in the last 2 1/2 months of my tour. The John Kerry that I know is not the John Kerry that everybody else is portraying. I served alongside him and behind him, five feet away from him in a gun tub, and watched as he made indecisive moves with our boat, put our boats in jeopardy, put our crews in jeopardy… if a man like that can’t handle that 6-man crew boat, how can you expect him to be our Commander-in-Chief?
