Jack Thompson is famous for being too serious about everything, especially videogames. What a surprise, then, to see this picture posted on GamesPolitics, as a part of a cryptic email he sent their way this morning.
The email contained nothing but this picture and the subject line "First feeder bands from Hurricane Ike hit Miami!" Now, since I happen to live in Miami, I know that there were in fact very windy conditions at work last night and this morning, but since when does Jack take funny pictures of himself and mail them to gaming websites? Isn't he supposed to be ... you know ... trying to wipe us off the face of the planet?
Regardless, it's kind of funny to see Thompson goofing off for a change. Of course, he's crazier than a barrel of monkeys, but I still kind of feel like I saw a new side of him. Maybe next he'll call up Niero and I and ask us over to his hurricane party.
[Thanks, Joe]

I'm so befuddled.
I don't know if he was serious but he was very funny!
Jack's trying to be a goofball instead of an asshole now. No idea why... either he's on meds, off his meds, or had fun playing a video game for once and realized the error of his ways.
Or he's out of a job, knows it, and decided to retire with his lawyer money. Without anything to do, he is trying to distract us from playing video games.
Maybe he's demonstrating what he hopes these storms will do to his enemies?
Here's a great site to track storms http://www.stormpulse.com/
OH WAIT!
No wait! The pole represents his cause, and he's clinging on to it! Yes, thats what it has to mean...
Good. Now back to the everlasting debate about gaming.
And I must say, I'm on the floor.
Yeah? Who cares. I wish we'd quit caring about the morons in Katrina and Ike, them and their stupid "stay behind cus da gubment cheese don't pay for a taxi ride outta here."
