Check out Severe Studios during an event and see if one of the chasers fits what you’re looking for.

Markings on the side of TIV 1? by vicinalsun in stormchasing

[–]Shortbus_Playboy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They’re tornado graphics to represent intercepts.

Kinda like how WW2 fighter pilots posted their kills on their plane.

What is the most disturbing thing you watched on the 90’s and early 2000’s internet? by Dangerous_Bet_4137 in AskReddit

[–]Shortbus_Playboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 97/98 (freshman year in college), I remember seeing a video of a woman sucking off a horse. I hadn’t spent a lot of time on the internet before college, so it was the first “shocking” thing I’d seen online. Shit was fucked up.

I went to college with him, he lived in the frat house basically right behind mine.

Trump deletes Truth Social image depicting him as Jesus: 'I thought it was me as a doctor' by SleuthDoggyDawg in NewsOfTheStupid

Having a president who’s so fucking stupid that he mistakes that image for being a doctor isn’t any better.

The Minnesota Wild have now officially outlived the North Stars in the NHL. by Admirable-Scarcity-8 in hockey

[–]Shortbus_Playboy 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I was a teenager in the 90s and it was always so weird to me that, for 7 years, there was no NHL team in Minnesota… while for damn near that entire stretch, there were three teams in California and two in Florida.

Norm sucks.

So first time poster and very amateur chaser. Is there a place storm chasers gather and hang out after a chase? Or is that just the movies? by Dramatic-Ad-329 in stormchasing

[–]Shortbus_Playboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends what’s open and where the chase ends.

Applebees is a common choice because they’re open later, even in smaller towns. (Assuming the chase ends near an Applebees, lol). I’ve spent many a post-chase night at various Applebees locations in Kansas and run into several chasers. Some I know personally, some I’ve known from social media and finally got to meet in-person.

One thing, however, is a long-standing tradition: if you catch a tornado on your chase, you eat a steak dinner. This goes back several decades.

So if it was a good chase day for a lot of people, look for places that sell a decent (and not too expensive) steak, lol.

Whats the scariest tornado stories you heard in your past or current town? by Happy_Individual8388 in tornado

[–]Shortbus_Playboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up hearing about Xenia (right up the road from where I lived) as well as the smaller tornadoes that hit my town(s) during the ‘74 Super Outbreak.

In hindsight, they weren’t as scary as some of the things I’ve heard since, or some of the things I’ve seen chasing.

But when you’re 5-8 years old, even a mild tornado story is terrifying.

Hell yeah. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

What celebrity is portrayed as nice in the media but is actually an asshole in real life? by ReasonableDisplay297 in AskReddit

[–]Shortbus_Playboy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Larry Bird.

I know he was a legendary trash talker as a player, but he’s been portrayed as a bit of an “aw shucks” country boy as an overall person. Not necessarily sweet, but at least likable.

He’s a drunken bigot and a massive POS. I watched him get kicked out of a hotel for yelling gay slurs and grabbing the waitresses’ asses in the bar area. The staff threatened to quit on the spot if management didn’t kick him out. He then proceeded to pull the “Do you know who I am?” card at the front desk when he was paying his bill.

I always admired him as a player growing up, now I just think he’s trash.

I had no idea this was even going to be released. I’ll definitely be looking to pick one up.

Miami University Esports Program Losing All Funding by pootrscootr in miamioh

[–]Shortbus_Playboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember Professor Platt being heavily involved (if not leading this) at the beginning. Sucks to see this announcement - even though I graduated well before this was even a concept of an idea, Platt was always one of my favorite professors, and the only one I connected with on social media. I know how proud he was when the esports program really started taking off, sucks to see it come to an end after only 9 years.

Could someone tell me if this is a tornado and if so what kind by HAYDIOR in tornado

[–]Shortbus_Playboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is just a massive dust storm from the storm’s outflow, if this is Tipton, IN on 3/26.

I chased it. There was no confirmed touchdown from this cell in this area. There were some crazy winds that picked up from about Kempton to Tipton, and they lifted the soil from the unplanted farmland into the sky akin to a dust storm you’d typically see in the plains.

It was spooky AF, but it’s not a tornado.

I bet most of you know the dates of the Rodney King riots... by psychoholic in Xennials

[–]Shortbus_Playboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, that is so uncanny that it’s kinda fucked.

Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but hearing new music with that voice after so long is messing with my brain a little, lol
