Hello Class! Step right up – time for the Tell All!
Wasn’t that a very cool photo yesterday? And my goodness did we ever have a PILE of people waiting to be FIRST COMMENTERS before class started yesterday. In fact, our Cheer Team said they wanted a raise because it’s so much work to have multiple Firsties. We reminded them they don’t get paid in the first place for doing cheers – and that they have access to their private hot tub, meals in the cafeteria, custom-made uniforms, pink Harleys bought by the school for their transport and before we even finished reminding them of that they SHEEPISHLY (haha) agreed to stop complaining.
Fact is though we had FOUR FIRST COMMENTERS yesterday! WHO???????????????????
Our four lucky badge winners are:
JACKIE (Two Devon Cats), TIMMY (Timmy Tomcat), SHARON (Friends Furever) and KATIE (Katie Isabella)
WOW indeed………………we have a lot of winners and THREE of you get one of these (we’ll explain why just three in a moment!)
The reason only THREE of our FIRST COMMENTERS got that badge is because one of our FIRST COMMENTERS also was our FIRST RIGHT GUESSER! That was Timmy! We’ll give you the details on the photo in a minute but first, here’s your special badge Timmy!
THREE CHEERS FOR ALL THE WINNERS TODAY! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!
Here is the photo from yesterday (which was a Guest Teaser/Graphics Department photo) and a little bit about the photo itself which was a very unusual one indeed!!
This is a photo taken from a helicopter cruising over the beach at PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA!
ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2012, the conditions were just right in Panama City Beach, Florida, for saturated air to flow from the Gulf of Mexico straight up and over these 20+ story high rise buildings right on the coastline. What happens when saturated air rises up and over the buildings? It cools – and cooled saturated air condenses. In this case, the condensation formed into these unique “wave clouds” that crested over the buildings.
If you also guessed right on the Teaser, you get one of these:
And if you guessed but were wrong, you get one of these gems:
That was a wild photo alright………….almost looks like some kind of disaster movie!
Cheer Team – now that you know even with FOUR FIRSTIES you still need to do your job and receive your ample compensation, how about a cheer????!
WOO HOO!!!!
Now – is anyone in the mood for food? Who isn’t in the mood for food – well if you aren’t, you can stay in class and sleep at your desk OR go out on the playground equipment but if you’re hungry – follow us!!
Congratulations to the first commenters.
Double congratulations to Timmy!
Have a great Wednesday everyone!

It really did look like waves didn’t it – almost like one of those movies they made with disasters – and this type of thing actually is just like one I remember seeing previews of which was about what might happen to NYC if the tide rose to impossible heights quickly due to a meteor or whatever. EEEEK!

That pic looks more like a storm than a weather phenomena…If one was on the top floor of one pf those buildings, it would feel like a dense fog, I imagine.
I used to enjoy watching the fog roll in from the ocean onto the land when I lived in Halifax, NS, it was like a dark somber wall, getting closer and closer until you were engulfed in it!
I think I will not be anywhere near being a firstie or even be able to come by at all, this den is being invaded by my sister and her pup on next Monday evening…
