Looking for chasers

[mikegeukes]

Is this a project with the TV station you work for then.
Taking folks who never really chase to the plains and
doing a documentary on the chase and then airing it
on the tv station you work for during sweep months,

Mike

Just mail me the gas money and I'll drive myself.

Yeah, I could imagine it would be easy to find 6 people here who'd love to tag along for 6 weeks of free chasing.......provided you are legit, have adequate experience and don't intend this to be some sort of circus.

But ultimately, you'll only be able to gauge the true level of interest after all the details are shared. I mean there must be some catch to this.

With that said, I'm not doubting you either. But there's no way I would tell you I was interested unless I knew the exact details of what you have in mind. I imagine everyone else here feels the same.

aaaaaaaa

It's Tornado Attack under a secret alias.

OK. I'll bite.

Lemme git this straight..... You want to PAY MY WAY, and take me on a tornado chasing trip?

While I'm not nearly ready to sign on the bottom line, contract unseen, I will say "Pick Me Monty!"

I hope I sufficiently inexperienced. Here's my 'resume:'

Chased/photographed lightning in Arizona for one year. Have engaged in several impromptu 'chases' when driving across the midwest. Have seen a some big storms, occasional good rotation, and a funnel cloud or two; but no tornado! Enjoy blizzards, thunderstorms, 10" hail, etc.

Please hire me!!

I'm not getting this. :?

I'm gonna have to go with several of the other guesses which is "are you filming a documentry for television?"...

Michael Gribble's post is the one I'd have to most agree with. I'm always up for donations...LOL!

This must be some kind of documentary, movie, etc. A six week chase with atleast a half dozen people would get pretty expensive if it was someone just looking to make friends, have a few chase partners, do sociological research etc.

My guess. It's a reality show.... "Survivor Goodland", "Last Chaser Standing", "Helicity Factor"? Every show, one of the party is voted off and left by the roadside in the middle of Nowhere. Dr. Doswell meets the team in the computer room, and utters the phrase that will become famous, "You're busted!"

This is pretty intriguing, I've gotta admit! :lol: :lol:

 

[Andrew Geil]

My guess is he just wanted our reaction.

After all, he wanted feed back.

So I was right. Is there a prize?

LMAO! That's a good one! We should seriously start that up!

Hahaha, that just made my day. Thanks.

If it is a reality show, then I need to be on it. I'll follow the cameras around and every few minutes stick my head in front of it and say things like "it's nothing like this," "that's bullsh*t," and "follow me to the diary room if you want the real story."

Now that would be reality :wink:

LOL, Shane, I suspect you're JUST the man for the job.

In between your 'corrections' I'd be lecturing the viewers, giving 'em my 'standard' anti-TV spiel:

"You're wasting YEARS of your life staring into a plastic box. WTF are you doing?????
Get a life, you lazy-ass couch potatoes. Skip the Big Macs and Starbucks for a year or two, save a few thousand dollars, and GO CHASE YOUR OWN #$%^$# TORNADOES!!"

The last thing we need is a reality show around this... Less publicity is better as far as I'm concerned. Especially the publicity a "reality show" of amature chaser could generate.

Exactly...then you get more inexperienced chasers out in dangerous situations and perhaps some bad results. Chasing is not a good idea for the inexperienced.

The offer is intriguing but it seems a little fishy. Sorry...but its the day and age we live in.
