What is the best line about summer heat?

Aug 7, 2012 5:20 PM

Time for a laugh. So summer has fully arrived. Here in N. Texas that means many days over 100 degrees, many in consecutive order. Along with the heat come all the sayings about the heat, you know what I mean "It's so hot the fire hydrants are fighting over the dogs" type stuff. So what saying have you heard that best sums up the heat?

I don't have any good lines but I am seriously thinking about baking cookies in my car later this week.Should make a nice afternoon snack for a few of my friends in Cubeville. And maybe, just maybe, it will help us get over the fact that it's probably going to be at least a month before outdoor thermometers register anything below about 78 degrees.
Sigh
Why do I live in Texas again?

It's so hot that ...

I saw squirrels collecting nuts with pot holders.

the chickens are laying hard-boiled eggs.

a pack of dogs was chasing a cat, and all of them were walking.

even the local nudist camp is now requiring hats and sandals.

@gt0163c: I ask myself that same question every year at this time. I noticed that the Rangers are playing two Sunday games in August with 2:05pm start times. Complete insanity.

Why thank you, @jsimsace. I didn't think anyone paid attention to anything I say. So, you're the one! :-)

@gt0163c: "Yeah, but it's a dry heat." Hudson, Aliens

I was laughing this morning because, for the fifth or sixth morning in a row, my alarm went off and the 6am weather report said, "It's 79 degrees". Exactly 79 at 6am for about a week. It made me think of how stores price things at $9.99 instead of $10, so you'll think it's $9. I think the weather's embarrassed to be 80 only a few minutes after sunup, so it stays at 79 so we can say "it's in the 70's".

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
