Author Topic: Are you freezing your ass off? Daryl C. W. O'Shea Film God Posts: 3977 From: Midland Ontario Canada (where Panavision & IMAX lenses come from) Registered: Jun 2002 posted 01-09-2004 07:27 PM                        quote: ITS ALL BULLSHIT Everyone hates the cold. I'm not talking mid thirties sort of 'cold,' some people do like that. No, when the thermometer goes below 20 F EVERYONE is miserable. 20F, surely you jest! I was in Midland this morning where it was perfect. -38F with a windchill of about -56F. Just cold enough to make me grab my gloves out of my car. quote: And then the northerners all stand in the streets screaming "I'm melting!" when it reaches 85 degrees on the hottest summer day. Sure Adam, we sit there on the longest fresh water beach in the world and complain that the 110F heat is too much. Boo hoo.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-09-2004 09:39 PM                  quote: ... -38F with a windchill of about -56F.

Brr! The high tomorrow is supposed to be a whopping 11 degrees.  |  IP: Logged Dino Panagiotopoulos Expert Film Handler Posts: 139 From: Windor, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-09-2004 09:44 PM                     -13 degrees here today. Nobody likes the cold but this is more normal weather for this area compared to the warm weather we've had as of late.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-09-2004 10:07 PM                        I have two words for the weather up north in the below 0°...

Just kidding, we were just about as cold here about a week ago. -20 to -25F for a low and on Tues our high temp was -17F. It's really not as bad as everyone says. It is only this cold for a few months a year. Last month I don't think it even got below zero. Tomorrow it is supposed to be around 30. I got a date with my snowmobile.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-09-2004 11:26 PM                  quote: It's really not as bad as everyone says.

Ya know Travis, I don't know what you and Josh are smokin' up there in cold HELL, but I gotta tell ya ***warm is cool!*** Do you have a motorhertz to ride around in the 3 months that yous have "great" wx? Josh does. He likes to freeze his ass off riding in the off-season...he told me. You and Josh need to move to "God's Country"... Ummm that's somewhere the thermometer doesn't freeze it's balls off! I'd include Daryl in this, but he's still looking for his satellite dish... It really didn't blow away as he said, it froze it's LNB off! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I can`t believe I let this opportunity pass to score an easy one against Phil! Anyway, better late than never, here it comes: I don`t know about you, but where I come from, people operate their bicycles with their feet! Although it might be quite interesting to see how it would look like when you ride a bicycle. *hint for Josh: to understand this joke, you have to look up what manually means.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

That reminds me, I do not recall ever reading a post here from somebody from Alaska. Do they have no cinemas there?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.
