My first first ever
eh, what’s all the fuss ?
Not a damn clue…
However, I will say: Care Trolls in 5…4…3…2…1…
STFU. We don’t care.
Wood GRAAAAINS!
Whoops. Nesting fail, my bad. I have a sad.
Did you know that using Jergens Skin Care Original Scent Lotion reduces your risk of heart disease?
On the bright side, they no longer needed to worry about the termites.
Now they need to worry about the zombie termites that will come back from the dead.
Mutant zombie termites with webbed feet and gills.
That’s where you’re wrong. That poor man has industrial-grade termites
You know… maybe this is actually proof that things can always get better! After all… now their insurance will cover damages since fire damage is not “an act of God”.
Makes you think.
Interesting point.
makes you wonder how it caught on fire in the first place.
Something in the flood probably knocked a gas line or connection loose.
Most likely or God is a closet Pyro.
Yeah, the whole burning bush thing was a good hint on that….
Good point.
I had that once. Turned out to just be a yeast infection.
Moral: Bread Marital Aids – Just say ‘No’
Yeah, they can be trichy.
Infections could be on the rise.
Enough of your half baked ideas!
You should just baguette.
There’s no need to be so croissant with me; I just thought the situation kneaded another opinion.
Thanks! Her crusty comment was enough to
give someone a hardtack.
I picked a challah-va time to come back, I see.
Well, we all missed your rye sense of humor.
And now we’re
rolling on the flour laughing.
At yeast we get to spend some time together.
Rising to the occasion, I second that..
EDDIE!!!!!!!!! Of all the bread pun threads in the world, you had to walk into mine!
Ya, but arson doesn’t pay off either…
it doesn’t pay off if the convict you of igniting the building…
but the will pay if the crazy crack head from down the street happens to…
Not sure how this works, but, if the guy had fire insurance, but not flood insurance, could he claim that the fire was what ruined the home?
If so, It would probably be the best thing that could have happened to him at the time-being.
Would it matter if the fire hit before the flood, or vice/verse?
Wow. Out of the water basin into the fryer, eh?
Houston, 13. Jim, we just had a bottoming out on your biomeds.
And your cat is the creature from The Thing.
Your cat IS Thing.
It’s from the unaired episode of ‘Touched By An Angel’… it was the one where Monica and the team had been sent by God to tell the family that he hated them…
LOL, congratulations. I laughed at work. *still snickering*
“Touched by an Angel… With a Sword of FIRE!!!”
In bed. Ew.
No, that’s ‘Touched by an Uncle.’ Totally different show.
“No, that’s ‘Touched by an Uncle.’ Totally different show.”
`
It’s very popular in Alabama.
I think that’s the second time you’ve mentioned that show. You were a closet fan, weren’t you?
Watched it once… rich in comic possibilities, but I’d sooner be touched by an Uncle than watch one again…
So the rumors about you are true……..
Probably not… I tend to start most of them…
Keep ‘em guessing. Mr. Dobbs would be proud.
Seen a lot of this after Katrina. It is called not having flood insurance.
Yeah, which is why this is a bad LOL. Since flood insurance was impossible to get for most of those homeowners, it’s 99.9% likely this was arson or at least intentional negligence. And yet THIS gets a 5-Abe rating. You people!
Reminds me of the picture where the flooded houses spell “LOL”
you must tell me where to see this picture!
click my name for that picture
Ha! I think those may be trailers, though….
Even better.
PROOF! That some mildly clever guy doesn’t have flood insurance (but a fairly nice fire policy).
that’s what i thought when i saw the pic too…
Don’t know for sure, but this looks like Galveston last year. Lots of houses on “stilts”…. Pretty clearly not New Orleans as such. Anyone know?
Galveston, as Ike was coming in.

Yup this was Galveston. I heard it and watched it on the news before the hurricane knocked our power out. We were worried because there was a possibility it was our beach house. It wasn’t but we still lost the beach house due to the hurricane. This also wasn’t the only thing that caught fire in the middle of the storm. When the eye was making landfall a small child and her father were hurt pretty bad in downtown Houston. We listened to it on the radio for as long as we could but we lost power and I never found out if the little girl was ok.
It was Galveston Island. Pic is listed here

Pic #5, different angle, but it’s the same house. I don’t remember this story, but I was probably without power when it aired.
No it had power at the time. That happened before landfall, the storm surge was pretty bad (I think they said the storm surge was like a cat 4 or 5) so the water came up pretty high well and before the hurricane actually hit. You can tell that it was before the storm because of the water. After the hurricane hit the water drained fairly quickly…and there was a lot more devastation. That home wasn’t the only thing that burned at that time. The Galveston boat club burned too, but just like this house because there was so much water they firemen couldn’t get to them to put the fire out.
I remember the fire with the boats, but we turned off the news after awhile because of the kids.
We kept it on till our power went off…about 10pm that night. My son was watching TV in the other room so it didn’t phase him
Actually, this looks like Munster, IN after the midwest flood brought on from Hurricane Ike. The “stilts” are front and back porches, common in this area with old houses. I live in the area right next to the flood zone and know what happened.
The town flooded and all the houses gas shut offs were underwater. After a cop, who was trying to shut off gas to some houses got zapped by the house’s electric + floodwater, he decided not to try any more. Then a house exploded when the leaking gas hit a spark from the electricity and KABOOM. Somebody we know was about three blocks away and saw the mushroom cloud.
And yes, while the flood may not have been covered by their insurance, the explosion definitely was, according to news reports and a friend who works in insurance. And no, it wasn’t intentionally set since all residents were evacuated and not allowed back for any reason during the time of the explosion. The only ones allowed in the area were police and firemen for several days.
The flood was nasty and for two days when the water receded you could smell rotting fish from one of the major streets a few blocks from my house as they had gotten swept in from the Little Calumet River.
It was Galveston, before Ike actually made landfall. The storm surge was bad enough that it rose that quickly that fast well before the Ike hit us. I believe the fire was caused my lighting.
I feel like a terrible person for finding this hilarious.
… come hell AND high water though, i’m outta here.
Could be worse.
Could be rainin’.
It started raining soon after….that’s what happens when a hurricane is coming at you
You just reminded me of a lager commercial here in the UK [link]
Beer ads are often good. Here’s my favourite (link)
It’s not for beer, but this ad is fun. [LINK]
Oh, that’s just wicked!
It was the line at the end ‘It’s brightenin’ up!’
What next, the car won’t start?
And there is a raptor on its way….
LMAO
And they have a dentist appointment in an hour.
We needed helicopter drivers for the Galveston folk. I’m from Texas and it made me really upset to see what happened during Ike. My college had a food drive that I participated in Ike. Music, jammin’, raffles, the like…
Thanks, we needed all the help we could get.
I’ve never seen a house catch fire in a flood before
I’m going to hell for thinking it was funny though
I’ll save you a seat…
People always hate it when I say “Things can ALWAYS be worse” and they hate that I refuse to say “Nothing can be worse than this” or the like. This picture is a perfect example of why I will never say that. I bet you anything that as that family paddled their canoe away from their house, someone in that boat said “How could things get any worse than this?!” and God said “Ask and ye shall receive”. Let there be fire! NEVER say things can’t get worse, because they always can. When shit seems really, really bad, just remind yourself that you don’t have AIDS and cancer. If you do have AIDS and cancer and no insurance, no house, no family, no teeth, no job, no friends, no skin, no senses except that burning feeling when you pee or breathe and every STD known to man that you got from a dirty toilet seat because you never actually had sex and you’re 30, then, and pretty much only then can you be pretty safe in assuming that things can’t get much worse. Then again, you could be on fire too. So just keep that in mind.
=)
Thank you! I also believe that things can get much, much worse.
Maybe the guy didn’t have flood insurance, so he burned the house since he did have fire insurance! That would be a little odd though.
The whole damn neighborhood must have gone up. No way would have the Firemen been able to get there and put it out.
I guess they didn’t have flood insurance… luckily they had Fire insurance.. ?
