Agreed, and this page has been tagged appropriately. :-P

It also helps to know about the song "Funkytown." :-)

Ah, but at least I understand now! I was struggling to follow this at any level. I should have looked up FEMA but it didn't occur to me; actually I figured it was the nick of someone who hasn't posted recently!

Thanks u :-)

It's an American thing, bilby. ;-) FEMA is the Federal Emergency Management Agency, tasked with responding to disasters and the like. My personal commentary (and apparently c_b's as well) is that they are woefully bureaucratic and inept, as seen in their miserable handling of the Hurricane Katrina debacle. FEMA builds little relief towns of mobile homes (trailers) for victims to live in, and it's these towns that my old roommate inappropriately referred to as FEMAtown. And I'm just as guilty for singing along. Gotta love humor centered around horrible tragedies.

Of course, it's not as funny when you have to explain the joke... ;-)

That's exactly why FEMA's been doing such a good job with trailers. This is the kind they must be looking for.
