Suggested Storm names for 2006
These are actual nicknames of guys I used to work with on the railroad. As it worked out, if you got a nickname, whether you liked it or not, you retired with it. I tried to keep it to one name for each letter. I can just see The Weather Channel with Stephanie Abrams in a wet T-shirt talking about Big Dick and Blowfish.

Big Bird
Clamface
Dirty Neck
El Whacko
Froggy
Goober
Hog Balls
Iron Head
Joe DeFink
Knothead
Little Scissors
Mudcat
Mule Nose
Pelican Head
Pumpkinhead
Red Ass
Scissors
The Pope
Wizard

1. Great list. Should this come after we exhaust the Greek alphabet
or before? Hurricane Hog Balls sounds like one I might wanna evacuate for.

3. When will we learn what is the 6th letter in the Greek alphabet? - This
as close to learning a second lanuage as most Americans get.

And I think learning the 6th letter is Key!

14. wouldn't be surprised
in the long storm season of 2003 that began in april and ended in december, there were two tropical storms that formed in december, odette killed a couple people in the islands so i remember her, think the other was philippe but won't swear to it

you can definitely have tropical storm formation in the atlantic in december, it's just rare

9. To use a quote from Bill Maher:
"New rule: The next hurricane must be called "Hurricane George". Congratulations, Bush, you're now a category 5 president!"
