Or, because you live in an area that turns into frozen tundra for several months out of the year and you have biologically adapted to it. If I was to take someone like Seven -- a full figured girl from the DEEP South -- up north to where you live, she would freeze at temperatures that you wouldn't bat an eye over.

Ahh, you people over exaggerate the cold. If you want to see cold go up to Maine or Northern Vermont, there it's a tundra.

I live by the ocean, we get less then a hundred feet of snow a year. It's not that bad.

I don't get this, it was really warm yesterday, got cold today, and is supposed to rain at the end of the week? fuck that shit.

We've got the 36 degree rain that's hitting 28 degree asphalt.

It is nasty out. I'm hunkerin' down.

There's an expression for that. "Welcome to New England."

Fair enough. I mean, we only get good cold like this maybe two months out of the year. The rest of the time it stays between 40 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Which means we don't get enough time to adapt to the cold before it's gone, which is also why we have issues driving in the snow. Half inch of snow on the ground and society shuts down. Why? Because we don't WINTERIZE OUR VEHICLES DOWN HERE. No point winterizing a vehicle if you only get two inches of snow annually.

One hundred FEET of snow? And you think I'm exaggerating? FUNNY.

I may need a nerve pill before the end of the day, though. My mom asked over the weekend if either me or my dad knew how to pick a lock (we both can re-key door-locks because of our work backgrounds). In the office she works in, there have one of those quarter gumball machines, but they lost the key to it long before she ever started work there. So it's empty save for a few pieces of candy, and full of quarters. My dad offered to drill the lock out, but they wanted they can refill it and get their cash.

So... I went down there today with some stiff paper clips and a letter opener, and worked on it. The first one opened in about 15 minutes (I don't normally pick locks), the second one was constructed by Beelzebub himself and I wound up spending an hour and a half on it, and still didn't get the fucking thing opened. Due to the lack of hand tools, I was allowed to take the machine home to get the thing open.

Now I've got this thing sitting in my kitchen, and I am contemplating evil things with regards to how I will take this infernal device apart. EVIL, SADISTIC THINGS.

So on top of everything else you can get all the hugs from your mother that you want. Not really helping youurself, dude.
Also, now that he's president and all would an offical Obama topic be a good or bad idea?

I get along just fine with my parents. It's my brother I can't stand at times.

But hey, little brothers are supposed to be a pain in the ass, right?

Am I the only one here who DOESN'T think Pro is going to snap and kill people someday?

Apparently.

If you ever wanna gauge your manliness, Proteas, once you're large enough to champion stafff, you can come to Minnesota and meet your destiny dueling the drunk.

No swords.

A lounge unarmed combat tourny? I fully support this idea.

We could draw up brackets, set up concession stands and fill the kiddie pool with pudding for the females.

The losing males will be humiliated yet well-fed and entertained regardless of manliness. Fli can referee.

I call the role of "gruff musclehead." Bad boy with a heart of gold, man on a mission , cocky fast guy and borderline sociopath are all still open.

Well, since nearly everybody thinks Pro is the sociopath(why? he seems normal) I'll leave that for him.

I call cocky fast guy.

I'm actually a pacifist in that I'm not the type to pick a fight or fight unless provoked. I'd sooner be Cort from "The Quick and the Dead" than the sociopath in the group.

23 years old, and not a single arrest to my name. Not even a speeding ticket.

;;;;;;
I truthfully can't say that, and anything else I say about it will get thought of in 1 of 3 ways.
1) he's bragging
2)he's complaining
3)he's lying.

Considering these tests of manlihood would include group-beatings of any and all pacifists, you'd better hope your giggly demeanor and lovably soft tummy do more to protect your masculinity than the rejection of senseless violence.

As a former fat kid I can confirm this. And this is just part of the rage I bring into the ring.

Why do these shenanigans inspire me to make a flash movie?

Well I hopped into flash and started sketching stuff right after I posted that.
Came up with three people, guess it would be Staff, Seven, and Pro. However, I have no idea what Staff and Proteas looks like soooo... yeah.

From Wikipedia....

Cort (Russell Crowe)- Cort used to run with Herod and his gang, but he had a change of heart and has tried to make up for his past sins (Herod made him kill a minister who had nursed Herod's gang) as a preacher in a mission. Herod insists that Cort participates in the town's gunfighting tournament, and has Foy and Ratsy burn the mission to the ground and abduct Cort back to town to do so. He is arguably the fastest and most skilled shooter in the entire film (Herod knows better than to face him one-on-one, and keeps him chained up), though this is tempered by his reluctance to kill. His preacher clothing gains him the hostility of most of the townspeople, although he later wins their support after they learn of his skills and his determination to rid the town of Herod. Cort has an affair with The Lady (a scene deleted only from the American version of the film), and the end of the film heavily suggests that he becomes the new sheriff.

YOU KIDS ARE HAVING TOO MUCH FUN IN HERE.

I SHALL CRUSH YOUR "FUN".

Someone had to do it.

Anyways, reading Herman Hesse'sSiddhartha. Really interesting stuff, and quite a bit relates to talking.
WHICH MEANS FUN FOR BRIAN!

The lounge has become filled with gay. Except the pudding for the females to wrestle in. HOT.

yeah, back home in the Adirondacks the saying was "Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes."

It's common for ski areas in the North East to usually record about 200 feet of snow a year. (this is not all at once, mind you, but over the whole winter. Obviously only a few feet stay on the ground at a time. it's like saying 100 inches of rain have fallen in the month of June.)

I didn't think that he would, but now I do; stafff's description of him got me thinking.
Don't let staff tag along if you're meeting new people, proteas.

Gay? Did somebody say gay?

No, just the older one.

And this is the only time I'm ever going to say this, but I love an Apple product.

Thier Apple Garage Band is actually pretty good, while using it on someone else's computer.

I recorded a chuck berry rythym bit on my acoustic guitar, then recorded a harmonica solo and overlapped them.

Folk Rock awsomeness.
Next step, Springsteen's Atlantic City.

And oh yes, Proteas, we don't winter prep our vehicles up here.
The most we do is add some different wiper fluid mix, other then that the cars are the same.
The only difference is that we have plows and salt trucks.

Actually today was nice, it was like 37 out and it felt like summer. I was out in just longsleeves.

the only way you really winterize a vehicle: really old ones: put some higher octane gas or some dry gas in there so that if it gets waayy cold, it doesn't leave any H20 in your tank to fuck shit up later. And yeah, the -20 degree wiper fluid with deicer is nice, but not really required. And since it's pretty much all you can find in the winter, it's nice to have. I really don't use wiper fluid much at all in the winter. I use it like it's coccain in the spring. Salt and shit gets EVERYWHERE

the only thing that sucks i the road salt eats up your car something feirce. Usually a couple of car washes during the mid-winter thaw helps. If you have a chance, put some wax on the under carriage to keep it from rusing more.

in other news, my car needs new brakes.

I need to invest in something like and a good USB microphone. I think I'll buy one of those Snowball mics when I get my tax refund.

I remember when redskunk was on here, and he used to talk about winterizing their vehicles... different tires, chains, fluids, FUN FUN FUN.

We've got those too down here, but the area I live in isn't part of the city limits proper, so we don't get that out here. If the roads freeze over, I'm FUCKED.

And you also have to consider that, as a denizen of the south, we don't get but maybe three or four days of "frozen over" conditions like that a year, so we don't get practice time in to know how to drive in those conditions. I've seen half the state close down schools and other non-essential government offices for the day because of a half inch of snow.

I started keeping a spray bottle of that stuff in my car, because the Rain-X aerosol deicer that's readily available around here starts to freeze up and sputter right around 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
