I've never made a snow fort because I don't like the cold very much.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Or you could just scatter salt all over it, and laugh at all the poor recruits who have to clean and re-polish their freshly polished boots to get past the personnel inspection coming up that afternoon!
But really, apparently salt works fine for that kind of thing. Dunno, I always lucked out of snow watch.A potent relic of the past. 'Tis said the wearer commands the wisdom of kings, and can see the unseeable.
Like the grue lurking in your bedroom waiting for you to fall asleep.
But perhaps some things are better left unseen...

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Plus it's less expensive to just rebuild the town and only move certain plant-life that can't simply be planted and grown from seed or saplings.
Or at least, the only time that I recall anyone has actually relocated a town, that's what they did because the other options were too expensive. Relative to purchasing the land and rebuilding an entire town somewhere else.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Kiruna, Sweden's northest city, has moved from time to time, and is about to do so again, all due to the world's largest iron mine that happens to lie more or less directly under the town. It's controversial, but since the whole existence of the town is based upon said mine, the inhabitants aren't really in a position to fight it...

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Ah, Gargoyles... why didst thou ever leave us? Even though the Latin is abysmal, I love that show so dearly. I wish I could gay-marry Xanatos.
I have not re-watched Roger Rabbit in ages. Perhaps I shall do so as well.
What music?
This music?
edit Oh, the Tallis Scholars are a musical group. I imagined you meant some kind of monastic order who practice embalming. Why is that the first thing my mind assumed?!
That rain generator is so wonderful -- the help it gives me concentrating at work and study is invaluable.
Alas no... I live some 100 km from the border, and experience the greatest temperature extreme of major cities in the world. There have been blizzards here that buried bungalows to the eaves. The three rivers freeze solid enough to drive snowploughs on.
It's a dry cold, which makes it more bearable -- but my hands and lips turn to scales, and I rail in the endless gobbling darkness like a withered queen, smashing mirrors and draining peasants for some recourse.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2012-10-14 at 05:51 PM.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Yeah. My favorite part is the Sunday/monday nights though. Scrambling to do homework as inevitiably some distant relations come over and you have to say hi awkwardly. What fun.
I THOUGHT the Latin made no sense, but there werent subtitles and the verbs were... Decent, but to be honest I dunno how spell incantations work anyway. English always rhymes, so... I assume thats a constant?
I have NEVER SEEN ROGER RABBIT BWHAHAHA.
Booo. You cant say "temperature extremes" and ONLY speak of the cold. Unless you go over... The celsius equivilant of 95 I say you're just Arctic.Last edited by Mutant Sheep; 2012-10-14 at 05:58 PM.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
It's the tool of my trade and my weapon of choice, my panacea for problems and my virgin's tears for solutions.
Ahh, this reminds me of the winters when I was little, and they used to plough up a road across the lake on the way to mum's job. The improvised ice-road presented a great shortcut to mum, and even though I only ever was with her once or twice when she took that road, it's an image strongly imprinted on my mind.
I still haven't found a good remedy for scaly lips (it's a problem for me all around the year, but even worse in the winter), but I know a cure for the darkness: Buy yourself one of those electric light strands you hang in the Christmas tree (it should be the small kind, not the large kind that pretends to be real candles, and make sure that it's certified for outdoor use), wrap it around a bush or other object of choice in your garden (preferably somewhere that's highly visible from inside your house) and link it up to a timer that lights it in the morning and evening. I don't care that it isn't christmas, the cosiness factor is simply too high to not be worth it.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
I can't remember any specific examples, but the last time I watched it through a few years ago I thought to myself, "You're lucky you are awesome, Gargoyles, or else this would really bother me." & as for Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it was one of my favourite movies as a child -- unique and campy and fantastic.
Yes okay, on the other hand our heat waves in July go over 100 F, and we have more sunny hours in summer than some cities in California. One of my professors came from Ontario, who had also travelled to central Africa: and remarked that the summer sun here felt the same as there.
So in Fahrenheit, that is a temperature range of -40 -- 100. -40 to 40 in Celsius. We don't get as hot as more equatorial locales, certainly, but we sure experience a broad range of climate.
How lovely. It must have been peaceful to be driving out on a lake.
The rivers here are ploughed for miles of walking and skating paths, with little huts and evergreen trees set up along the way.

I don't care that it isn't christmas, the cosiness factor is simply too high to not be worth it.
I keep a dish of clarified butter in the winter and kiss it every time I go out or come in from the cold, but even the relief of that becomes but nominal in the rimy depths of the beast.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2012-10-14 at 06:19 PM.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
The archmagus(or... Whatever Hudson siad. I dunno, i only started two nights ago. Xd) had the verb... Be appropriate to the situation. But Xanatos... Yeah, I couldn't. He's a bit too awesome. You know, a couple billion degrees too hot.
Like, the USUAL heatwaves or... This summer? *shivers in fear even though talking about heat*. So damned hot, i did nothing but hide with the fans and thie air and the cold cold beverages.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
That's what Friday afternoon after club meetings was for in my book.
Granted, that was because Friday night and Saturday night were usually given over to some kind of girlfriend fun time.
Hop to it then, laddy-buck.
You mean 35 degrees Celsius to 95 degrees Fahrenheit? Honestly, if I didn't have this beer gut and layer of fur, I'd love hot temperatures again, just like when I was a boy. Granted, I think children are more efficient about cooling themselves since there's less core to retain heat and much, much, much, much, much less fur.
Can't stand the feeling of my joints not working properly because of the cold air though. Creeps me right the heck out.
Hey now, don't make Moonie cry with your logic so that you can drink her tears. That's just mean. *mumblemumblemumble*
A quick fix if I'm recalling correctly can be acquired by being willing to rub your nose oils on your lips or being enough of a weirdo and having an S/O willing to play along with you kissing them on the nose. Or just making out regularly in general caused a marked difference between how bad my lips got in the winter. Or having an S/O. Honestly I'm not sure the exact cause there, ok.
Light solution is a good one. They also have desk or floor lamps that have bulbs that produce "daylight" which are supposedly able to help people who are feeling blue because they're not getting enough sunlight in their lives. Helped keep me in better spirits when I had mine, but that could have been placebo too, haha.

Tee hee, but he is also a bad-ass gentleman in addition to his wealthses' [can I say zis? Wealthses'?]. Not some entitled effete.

We did not get much hotter than usual this year, fortunately; the heat waves were longer and drier, that's all.
edit
Ooh, apropos of that, the wonderful hot season allowed me to grow this prize watermelon:
Spoiler
It was delicious.
Nose oils? That's just crazy enough to work, except that those, too, flake away like old leather, leaving stingy kleenex-scoured stucco in their stead.
Fortunately this city also benefits from a rather unusual amount of sunlit hours in the winter too, so vitamin D deficiency & SAD are not as intense as in, say, Vancouver or Seattle.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2012-10-14 at 06:45 PM.
