Longwang.

> Western North Pacific tropical cyclones are named by the Tokyo Typhoon Centre of the Japan Meteorological Agency. Names are selected from the following lists, which were contributed by members of the WMO Typhoon Committee. Each of the 14 nations or territories submitted 10 names, which are used in alphabetical order, by the English name of the country.

I thought they looked out the window and named it after the first thing they say, thus the recent typhoon "Two Dogs Fucking."

On that note, don't they just turn over the silverware drawer?

I don't know. But a sick part of me wishes that Soprano's star Vincent Pastore gets injured in the storm just for the headlines. "Big Pussy hurt by Longwang."

I'm waiting for a tornado to hit Titty Ho. I've already got my "tittie twister" post composed, just waiting to hit submit.

Typhoon Longwang did a helluva of a job blowing things around. Job. Blowing. Longwang Blowjob.

That's right, I said it.
