The cold is coming

[Bear]

"Hey Hon...I need more butter on my back...
and while your up, get me a beer."

[maraire]

What would you rather have?

0 with a wind chill of -15
           or
100 with humidity of 80%

P.S. I like em both

[chandasz]

I'll take the heat and humidity ANY day.... What the HECK am I doing living here

[Hogzilla]

Both hurt, both are oppressive. Lived in both and both suck, bad.

[Jo]

Both hurt, both are oppressive. Lived in both and both suck, bad.

Agreed. I'll take 75 degrees and no humidity, please.

[ZORBA]

Sounds like San Diego to me.

You're kidding me right?

When you find it please PM me. I don't want everyone knowing where it is. I will pay cash.

The Midwest is not for wimps. This part of the country was settled by strong men and handsome women with grit, stamina and body odor. If you can't take it, move your pansy asses to Los Angeles (or Sedona, if your in the bracket). As I proudly walk the streets of downtown Chicago in my North Face McMurdo parka in -14° with -30° windchills, I openly and loudly laugh at people without hats or gloves, picking their way through the ice and slush in tennis shoes. At least the current Uggs fad has given people a little warmth that they normally wouldn't have the brains to aquire.

Ha. Will do.

No question for me, the cold.  We had a blast throwing boiling water into the air last night. 

[dukesdad]

We had a blast throwing boiling water into the air last night. 

OK, I give up. Why?

[Berwyn Patsy]

lol!  I was just thinking the same. Does the water freeze in mid air?

[maraire]

Watch out the wind doesn't blow it back in your face...

[Terri]

Sure does, freezes and crackles.  Its a blast and then to see how high you can fling it.

This is a MAN.... Boris for Mayor

Every time it's this cold, I forget to buy a bottle of soap bubbles (you know, the kind with the little wand you give to kids). The bubbles freeze solid in mid-air. There is a winterfest in Minneapolis where they blow giant bubbles that freeze in the air and then drop to the ground.

Three words: Hot Buttered Rum !

Really?  I have never tried it.

Ok, any type of rum? 

[Felix Greco]

Just googled it and found this from Emeril. Gonna try it tonight.

Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 cups light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch salt
Bottle dark rum
Boiling water
Directions
In a bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Refrigerate until almost firm. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture into 12 small mugs. Pour about 3 ounces of rum into each mug (filling about halfway). Top with boiling water (to fill the remaining half), stir well, and serve immediately.
