Tommyrot:
Why is it 19 degrees out?
Kalshane:
Because we're in Chicago and March is cruel and a malicious month? It taunts with springtime and then snatches it away.
"Hey look, spring is here. It's sunny. The birds are singing. It might reach 50 today... Nope, changed my mind, have 3 feet of snow!"
A few days later "Hey, sorry about that snow thing. Look, I'm making it melt. Isn't it wonderful? Hah, here comes Mr. Windchill!"
Which goes on and on until April swoops in, conks March over the head and proceeds to dump rain on us for the length of its stay.

I think it's safe to presume Kalshane doesn't have a job in the Chicago tourism industry.
Kalshane:
Well, I just try to be honest. When people in other parts of the country ask me when's the best time to visit Chicago I always reply "What type of weather can you most easily tolerate: bitter cold and wind, rain and wind, or hot and muggy?"
But I have no intention of leaving. I like having the different seasons, even if I don't care for the actual weather during those seasons some of the time. Maybe I'm secretly a weather masochist and I'm just hiding it from myself.
Whoo-hoo, I finally got COMMed, and twice in one day! I feel all special and stuff. And wonder if I should bitch about the weather more often.

ETA: Okay, now that I've read through the entire thread, I see I was COMMed once before, so I'm a couple months late in my "Whoo-hoo"-age. Oops.
(considering that Pier 39 is at present awash in the springtime migration of sea lions, ita's post performed, to perfection, the function allotted by this thread title. My elderly statesman of a 15 year old black cat is regarding the coffee on his paws with deep, deep suspicion...)

I will not google for Flatland porn. I will not google for Flatland porn.

NoiseDesign: I wonder which is more, a fuckload or an assload...
Sean K:
It depends on which weights and measures system you're using. Since we're both metric, the fuckload is bigger, but if we were using the English system, the assload would be bigger.

Technically, I believe that would be an arseload.
