Are the hours that a tornado will come knocking on my door.
The weather folks have been harping about this ALL day. My office is basically planning to shut the doors at 3:30. Ok, not really. I am hoping if I say the last statement enough it will catch on around the office, and they really will close early. No luck so far.
I'm secretly jumping for joy about all this weather excitement. It's going to be a good Gary England night. You know it's going to be good when I've already received The Gary England Drinking Game email. Oh yes, I'm for real. Here are the rules/breakdown for The Gary England Drinking Game.
Sidenote: I have never played this game. I do not recommend the game, but I think it's freaking hilarious. Gary England Drinking GameBy Canada and Moose
