Dudes, I just went outside for 5 seconds and my EYEBALL FROZE

[FuSoYa]

I wandered hazily into the next openable door.. it was a store. My right eye wouldn't close. I tried to blink and my lids were met with tiny, spiky, icy EYE CRYSTALS that pierced into my frozen once-youthful eyelid flesh.

Then I had to endure the sensation of my eyeball THAWING.. it was sort of like, you know that sound that giant spiders always make in cartoons when they walk? It was like that.

 

[FrostGiant]

I got that in college walking to class in -zero temps. But they generally froze shut.

 

[avi]

well *I'm* wearing short-sleeves yet again!

 

[minxnim]

??

the wind around the 26 story library at umass used to burn my eyes so bad it would make me involuntarily cry. i feel for you pal.

 

[minxnim]

dammit i have bad luck with pictures. bleh,.

 

[FrostGiant]

well *I'm* wearing short-sleeves yet again!

Yeah, so am I. It just happens to be something like 10 degrees outside.

 

[avi]

how about this: the windows in my office are open AND I've got a fan on.

 

[FuSoYa]

Once when I was walking around there, and the wind was making me cry because it was hurting my face so bad, I noticed this flock of ducks just sitting around near the pond right there, kind of walking around all easygoing-like, and quacking the day away as if to suggest they were completely oblivious to the diamond-razor winds that pretty much glacially changed the bone structure in my face.

 

[The Dope]

It's even cold here, goddammit! Well, I think it's cold anyway. All of my northeastern chums here tell me I don't know what true cold weather is, but it's bad enough for me to get pissed about it anyway.

 

[minxnim]

fuck california.
i'd die without discernable seasons.

 

[FuSoYa]

avi, that is a nasty, big-haired, wrinkle-jowled ho bag you just posted.

 

[The Dope]

Indeed. She looks almost as if she has a white-blonde goatee going on.

 

[avi]

hahah, but think about this: it could've been worse.

 

[minxnim]

those ducks are tough as nails.

 

[avi]

and the snow pic is just to prove we have seasons.

 

[minxnim]

yea. on some remote mountain somewhere.

 

[The Dope]

Fuck! It's below freezing outside right now AND they are calling for a chance of SNOW/WINTERY MIX tomorrow night. What the fuck is that about? Attention weather, it is December 3, not the middle of January. A week ago I was happily wearing shorts. Winter hits with a sudden, crushing blow.

 

[FuSoYa]

nails, ha. they're tough as freakin railroad spikes.

 

[avi]

heh, there's pretty much every climate imaginable in CA actually. from desert to high sierra to the redwoods

 

[minxnim]

well, one shouldnt have to travel for their seasons. sayin. i dont want to argue. i have spent enough time in california to know it's totally not for me. that's all.

railroad spikes. hah.
