More power to you.

The Arby's version was the original meme which started in 2011. Several other versions, including Wendy's and McDonald's, followed after it.

Actually has a little sustained convective burst at the center of circulation. Might actually be a tropical cyclone now.

Implies a pretty small center too, which could see 14 ramp up the intensity fairly quickly into a decent tropical storm at least.

I'm betting Laura's cone moves to Biloxi. Place your bets.

Totally different context from the Arby's meme which was created to make fun of a long-winded diatribe by a pompous know-it-all.

It became accepted as a humorous reply to use whenever anyone gives a long, boring monologue or explanation about anything.

In the Office episode Michael Scott telephoned a Wendy's and asked to speak to Wendy and was told there was no Wendy there because it was a Wendy's restaurant.
