Do NOT laugh

Rate: 13 Flag

I have to get up at 6 in the morning to get my goddamned winter tires on. If ANY of you west coast people laugh, you are dead meat. And I will find you.

Thanks Thoth. As long as it doesn't snow on the way there.

My friends who live on the North Slope of Alaska could laugh at your story, but they are good people and will not.

Glad you have a vehicle. That's a good thing!

Thanks Natalie. Yes a vehicle is good. Better than snowshoing into town.

Thoth, I hope you noticed that I posted you and Steve as the true sexy men.

My husband doesn't believe in waiting until the last minute. Mine have been on for over a month. Be safe.

My wife, who grew up in Oregon, often tells me tales of snowy deeds that often involve snow tyres etc. I'm not sure I want to live in any place where you have to keep a shovel next to the front door to get out in the mornings. I'd just stay in bed with the heating on and whimper.

Sal, your husband is smart - the rush is on now and I had to wait two weeks for my appointment.
Cymraeg - brace yourself man! I come from a land of hearty Mounties and beautiful igloos.

Cymraeg you must remember I come from the land of the hearty, the Mounties, the beavers, and the igloos. I fear nothing.

For some reason I doubled Cymraeg's response. Oh well, when brilliance flows.

I love winter. Except the kind where you have to battle the snow more than twice a year.

Actually, I love winter - reading by the woodfire reading all curled up, watching a good blizzard come down. Oh yeah, but then both my spouse and I work at home. Snow shovelling becomes irrelevant unless we have meetings in town or need to eat.

Ah yes, JLee. We can enjoy the Winter Wonderland from the comfort of our homes.

I'm crying. (Laughing so hard, I'm crying.) As for finding me, who are you, Liam Neeson?

You get to sleep in till 6 a.m., then someone else changes your tires? That might get you some cheap sympathy from the yanks, but not from me, ya whiner.

I am not laughing and I do not live on the west coast, but in the southern midwest and believe it or not it hardly ever snows here in Southern Ill, maybe once or twice every two years or so...it stays about 40 to 50 degrees F here all winter long (which only lasts from Nov - Feb anyway)

I can find you anywhere Blumenthal, you leave a pile of laughing idiots behind you. Like spoor it is.

By the way, John - Liam and I were up for that same role. He was taller.

My sympathies, madcelt - I'm not a west coaster, nor a southerner . . . and so, sympathetic. And I bet there are a few who would pay your expenses to find Blu.

That made me literally laugh out loud O_S_W_.
I'm still giggling.
I know where Blu lives - and he knows I do. He's running scared.
Anyway, tires on - went out at 6 in -4 degree weather. Olympic torch running through town today, lots of traffic snarls. That's just life. At least I won't slide all the way to California now.
