I'm just HOT ... period.

CheezeFlixz · August 08, 2007, 04:47:41 PM

Well as you might know if you get outside, it's HOT ... I just walked in the office to cool off and and my little Yahoo Widget said it's 104, it was 102 yesterday and they just said on the local news it's going to be 103-105 tomorrow. It wouldn't be so bad if the humidity wasn't near 80%, I've been trying to stain a staircase and cut molding for a house and it's just sweltering in the shop even with huge fans going. The old thermometer on the wall is pegged out at 120 degrees. I'm guessing I've lost about 5 gallons of fluid today. ... well back to work. Must be global warming ... damn you Al Gore! You damn dirty Ape! (Or it might just be summer ... )

Yup! Up here in Michigan too! If one more person tells me "It's not the heat,it's the humidity" or "hot enuff for ya?" I'll slap 'em like a red headed step child! (my dad usta say stoopid stuff like that...the" red headed.." thing. He usta say lotsa dumb sh!t,like-"You don't know sh!t from apple butter!" " If you had any brains,you'd take 'em out and play with 'em",I'ts raining like a cow p**sin' on a flat rock!"(?huh?),"you couldn't find your ass with both hands!","that woman's so ugly she'd scare a dog offa gut pile!" (kinda like that one!

)", she's so ugly she'd make a freight train take a dirt road",you can s**t in one hand and wish in another...know what you end up with?""i'll back-slap you to yer 1st birthday!","start by takin' yer head out your ass so you can hear what I'm telling ya!'" ....or "what's that got to do with the price of eggs in China?"

I don't know what any of this babble has to do with the price of eggs in China...but it's hotter than a whore on dollar nite!

It's topping the 100 degree mark in middle Tennessee as well.

My office is right across the lake from the Tennessee Titans' practice field and they've been inside all day.

Not that it would make any difference...

My favorite 'Dadism' my father used was when he thought we were driving too fast or doing something dangerous or reckless:
"Go on! Hell ain't half full!"

CheezeFlixz · August 08, 2007, 05:31:21 PM

Was/Is your dad from the south? I've heard and used a variation of every one of those.

It's hotter than a freshly f**ked fox in a forest fire, hotter than a burnt d*ck in a wool sock, sweatin' like a whore in church, sweatin' like a pregnant nun.
It's smells so bad it'd knock a buzzard off a sh!t wagon, you don't know sh!t from shinola, she so fat she's got more chin than a Chinese phone book.
Don't you sass me boy, I'll beat you until your momma gets bruises. If I want any crap outta of you I'll screw your head off and dip some out.

and so on and so on and so on .... I don't know what any of this babble has to do with the price of tea in China is what I always heard.

oooh it's down to an even 100, better find a sweater and get back to work.
I'm over in far far western KY near the Reelfoot Lake in TN and the Mississippi River ... getting all the water moisture and no breeze at all.

Hot here in NC as well. We've been pushing over 100 for the past couple of days with the humidity above 90%. Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if the humidity wasn't so bad. I went to Las Vegas years ago and it was 111 the first day there, but the humidity was low. I loved every second of it, very comfortable.

Mr. DS · August 08, 2007, 05:45:49 PM

Here in the northeast it hasn't been over 100 but its been around upper 80s to mid 90s. Seems like it is a two week heat wave going on. We haven't seen much rain where I'm at either.

I go to the valley (Phoenix) in AZ; 2 or 3 time s year as I have a lot of family there. And it well be 106, 112 or something like that in the summer and the humidity is around 0% or 10% and it's really not that bad, and when my family from there comes here and it's in the just the 90's, but the humidity is high around 70-90% and they about died. I think it's so funny because they act like 100+ is hot in AZ and 90+ here about kills them. Being the nice guy I am I make every effort to find things outside to do .... mawhahahah ..... then I say that wet stuff is called sweat.

We've had our share of 100+ degree weather this summer here in Sacramento, but the last few days have been unseasonably cool. Sunday it was very windy with highs in the upper 70's. Since then it has only reached the upper 80's, though this coming weekend we're supposed to get back to the mid 90's. I'm lovin' it.

Torgo · August 08, 2007, 06:26:22 PM

I live in Roanoke, VA and it's about 98 degrees today with 70% humidity.

I think the heat will break a bit by Saturday though as they're saying that it's going to be in the mid to upper 80's instead for next week with lower humidity.

Snivelly · August 08, 2007, 06:45:01 PM

It was 102 here in my part of NC today. The humidity wasn't as bad as Skaboi's has been until today when it went nuts. And of course the filter of our community pool chose to break down this week, so I'm stuck inside with the kids.

My stepdad was from West Virginia and had some pretty weird little sayings too. My favorite was always "You couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a banjo." Not sure why you'd want to either.

You're down near Charlotte, right? I'm out on the coast here near Atlantic Beach. Charlotte is one hot place as well. We have family down that way and visit there every five years or so.

RCMerchant · August 08, 2007, 07:34:04 PM

My Dad ain't from the south...he's just a backwoods Michigan pot licker. (that's another word my Dad liked. ) My Ma,now was raie in NYC! No wonder I'm so screwy....

Yep, stuck in Charlotte.....not my favorite city, but not a bad place to be. We really haven't had a rough summer this year, it hasn't been as humid as the past few years.

Humid and Hot here in New Jersey. Walked my dogs a tenth as far today and after was an ice cream cone in a furnace (took a nice dip in the mini-pool which was only 80 degrees)...my Dad had lots of sayings, but none of them were nice, even remotely.

it's finally hot here. guess what tho? Our building manager at work decided that because of all the complaints about the AC being too cold (we have blankets and winter coats on it's so bad) that they would crank the heater on simultaneously. So i have the ac blowing cold air and the heater blowing hot air directly on me all day long. Then i go outside into the oven. Blast!

I'm just HOT ... period.
