Is it bad that I’m most concerned about my mancave flooding? #Sandy — darren rovell (@darrenrovell) October 29, 2012

Hurricane Sandy is about to batter the Northeastern United States. Atlantic City has evacuated casinos. New York City shut down their subways. People are prepared for flooding from a storm that could be bigger than Hurricane Irene. ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell wants to know what snacks you’ll be eating when the power goes out and you’re carrying buckets of water out of your basement.

Is this where we Gulf Coast denizens can come to criticize the hillbillies who insist on living on the East Coast despite the threat of hurricanes?

no, this is where people from the midwest criticize the east coast “sports business reporter” (/snickers) for being a shallow little twat.

No Darren. But it is bad that you use words like “mancave”.

fact: most caves were formed by water erosion over millions of years, darren rovell’s was formed by semen erosion in a handful of decades.

New York City shut down their subways. People are prepared for flooding from a storm that could be bigger than Hurricane Irene.
my parents in law only just decided to evacuate from Broad Channel NY, the lowest lying part of NYC (and a gross neighborhood). My wife called them and told them that the NYPD was driving buses around to the Rockaways to pick up all the stranded idiots who didn’t listen, and that they could catch that bus.
So they’re finally seeking higher ground.

When it comes time to needing something to scoop chili the Tostitos aren’t getting it done, Fritos will always have their place in society

Yes. Mancave sounds like a leather themed gay disco club. Which may in fact be what Rovell’s basement is, but it still sounds bad.

It’s fine on a hamburger, but if you put that shit on an actual steak it’s like stepping on puppies. It’s just not right.

For years, my ancestors (and I) have built our houses many feet above sea level and away from bodies of water with the knowledge that heavy rains and swollen waterways can be threatening to ones life and possessions.
Just sayin.
