Other, I am happy my parents left the frozen wastes of Canada east of the Rockies and settled in the one corner of Canada that is habitable in winter.

Holy Mayor McFucking Goat Cheese, it's cold out.  Wind chill has it knocked down to 14 degrees here.

Needed to get gas, tossed in $10 and got the fuck back inside.  I'll deal with that bullshit later.

We hit -35C with the chill factor here yesterday :)
In Quebec city, it was -40C with the chill factor.

Currently, -20C straight, -31C with the chill factor :)

Heh, I always heard "balls". With the innocuous variant of "tail" if anyone easily-offended was in earshot.  :D

Balls makes more sense.  Unless you're specifically looking for them, monkey tits are easy to pass over.

True.

I can't imagine why one would be specifically looking for monkey tits. Unless of course they are on one's monkubines.  ;)

I overslept, and the cat came and got me, and gave me the blues following me around until I went out to the living room and turned on the fireplace.
Now she's laid out in front of it like a polar bear rug at a cheap Poconos getaway.

Has to do with conductivity I think.

Brass made of copper and tin, copper used for electrical wiring.
