Chica Boom Boom
So, I have no theories about what this is but people all over the United States of Damn America are hearing loud boom noises and the powers that be claim they have no idea where it’s coming from.
The latest was in Colorado early this morning and it shook some posters off the wall at a local trailer park. Except, there was no shaking – just noise.
Colorado is not the only U.S. state, where residents of several towns have reported hearing explosion-like sounds. In the past few days, the booms have also been heard in New Jersey, Alabama, Idaho, and Detroit.
The residents of the areas are now speculating about the cause of the noise, now referred to as “Bama Boom”, with some attributing it to active meteor showers, deep earthquake, and even an alien invasion.
All I know is that these things didn’t happen when Barack Obama was president.
One other thing —
Trump tweeted this morning that he was going to play golf “very quickly” with Tiger Woods today. He obviously hasn’t seen Tiger Woods play golf lately.
Additionally, ain’t there some manner of Women’s Protection legislation or something that outlaws those two being together in the same zip code as any woman? Holy cow, can you even imagine what manner of perverted crap those two talked about?
We’ve been hearing the sounds in NV, too. It’s not premature avalanche maintenance.
1Bama Boom? As in O- or Ala-?
2It makes me think of SSTs. They make a huge “boom” when they break the sound barrier. I wonder whether the airforce is flying them.
3Happy Holidays To All (except R’s, who can GFT)!
As far as “booms”, sounds like aircraft sonic booms, eh?
4After seeing that article about the contrail phallic skywriting, I’m thinking that the jetjockey airdales are getting frisky waiting for the DPRK and/or Iran whirlpools to turn into huge clusterfocks. I’m under some USAF and Navy training airspace and haven’t noticed anything much out of the ordinary, other than maybe a slight uptempo to the flt-ops lately.
.
Came inside 20min ago, after getting a little nervous hearing repeated large-cal gunfire within 400yds away (from a known property), either shotgun or large pistol; from the sound and concussion I’m in the forward sector of it, y’know: +-downrange (suspect they’re using a 15′ high sand dune as a backstop, ‘dune’ bears ~45deg, 150yd, from the front of my house)… Nice neighbor lady built a big $600K house across the road there some years ago and always has a bunch of kinfolk over for holidays, and never had this before. They’re mostly (ahem-minority) cityfolk and apparently got some new toys this year. Nothing makes me more nervous than untrained people with firearms (or whackjob trained ones).
.
As far as T Woods, don’t care a cat turd about him, but I figured even he might have had maybe a scruple or two, guess not.
The occasional loud booming sounds are the exploding heads of Trump supporters who suddenly realize that he is not going to make America great again. He is only going to play golf.
5@Sandridge, I tried “GFT” at the UrbanDictionary.com and all they had was Guaranteed Fun Times, which I assume is not what you meant. Can you give me a hint…?
I wonder if the booms are a form of mass hysteria. Will we be burning witches next? I suggest sexual assaulters instead. “A riot is an ugly t’ing… but I t’ink it is just about time dat ve had vun!”
6Rhea, that’s an easy one. Try…”They can…GFT.” Anatomically impossible. I’m surprised it wasn’t prominent in the urban dictionary.
7@AK Lynne
Amazingly, while I found GFT in Urban Dictionary, it lacks this first, most obvious, definition.
How can I trust UD ever again?? Oh bother.
8Rhea,
Ah gee, thought I would get away with abbreviating it instead of always pushing Momma’s limits. Oh well: …they can ‘Go ‘Fork’ Themselves’… like AKL and Micr hinted (maybe I just coined it?). It really is getting hard to keep up with all these acronyms floating around, sometimes I use one and forget what it means by the time it posts.
.
As far as ‘burning (R) pervs’ at the stake, hell, after scorching my eyeballs on JJ’s article about Rep Smoky Joe Barton w/pic, I’m thinking it would be a waste of caloric BTU energy not to burn ’em in electric utility generating plants. They burn hot enough that he’d be ‘Smokeless Joe’, and not a calorie would be wasted.
As an example, that fat Rethug perv could probably power 4-5 households for a week.
Most people don’t realize how much energy is stored in either a few gallons of gas/diesel, or a bunch of pounds of fat tissue (I’ve seen vehicle wrecks and other stuff where…well, whatever, getting too morbid, seen horrible stuff).
Just think about those flareups on the BBQ (oops, you’re a veggie IIRC) when one puts a steak, burger or fajita on.
BTW, the ex picked up a Luby’s turkey, and new 10m/o grandbaby just loved his first chomps on solid food turkey bits yesterday.
9I was sitting on my deck in late August about 10:30 am. Heard a booming noise and saw the shadow of a fighter aircraft overhead. Very fast. Stealth design. Now I live very close to several military installations and none answered any inquiries about what I heard and saw. Have heard the boom many times since.
10Someone should be talking to the operators of the various seismic stations around the Western U.S. to see if we’re getting ‘airquakes’ again. California seismometers were getting them a while back, and a little signal processing showed them to be moving at high altitude and Mach 4+, descending towards Groom Lake/Area 51/…
Once this fact was published, the airquakes stopped, or at least stopped happening regularly on Thursday mornings.
11Rumor has it that Trump has the USAF getting ready for war, including recalling ~1,000 pilots to active duty. USAF jet fighters can easily go supersonic if the pilots want, and I suspect they are practicing a little harder these days. We used to get sonic booms all the time when I was growing up in the Panhandle, but they’re rarer these days. Getting less rare, I would bet.

The above is the link to the video about the walk along the border. It’s called La Frontera and is definitely worth watching. I’m posting it now in case those of you who were interested haven’t gone back to where the original discussion was.
13I suspect it is the Gods at a pep rally for the Alabama-Auburn game today. It should be a DOZY! Roll Tide!
14Have they considered evil spirits of the dead? Been around here forever.

chica boom, chica boom, chica boom don’t you just love it.

Slipstream nailed it.
17@Sandridge, AK Lynne and Micr, I tried “GFY” at UrbanDictionary.com and it came up as either “Go **** yourself” or “Good for you,” perhaps letting the recipient guess which you mean. So it just didn’t have the third person form.
Sandridge, I don’t witness a lot of BBQs, but a dear friend wrote an authoritative book on spontaneous human combustion, so I have at least read about the amount of burning energy produced by a human full of fat and muscle tissue. (I’ve also heard that funeral homes that do cremation would rather you not put popcorn or fireworks in the deceased’s pockets for fun.) Throw another creep on the barbie!
18You would think that living this close to Capitol Hill that we would be inundated with sonic booms. Joint Base Andrews is just across the river in Maryland. However, we have been quiet. What we have been getting more of are copters flying low enough to see the color of your terrified eyes. My house is in the direct flight path between the Pentagon and Ft. Belvoir. Add to that the county mounties flying their own machines over head at all hours of the night and I mean low enough to straighten your sheets! The last time we had a boom was about three years before the August Earthquake. Yes, it was also an earthquake but happened so fast it managed to create only a boom. Of course, us smarties attributed the boom at the time to some strange stuff going on over at Ft. Belvoir.
