Popular Post pomchop Posted December 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm shivering like a mobster in a tax office. It's so cold that the local flasher was caught "describing" himself to women. It's so cold you have to open the fridge to heat the house. It was so cold the lawyers had their hands in their own pockets. It was so cold that if my thermometer had been an inch longer, I would have frozen to death. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rethaier Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 It's cold enough to freeze the balls off a billiard table. It's cold enough to freeze the balls on a brass monkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post duanebigsby Posted December 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2014 Funny how quickly we forget winters back "home" I lived in Edmonton with minus forty for three months. When it got "up" to the temps we're seeing in Chiang Rai, people were in shorts and t-shirts playing in the snow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Back home means different things to different people. I never lived where it snowed and have lived here for nearly 38 years so all things being relative, this is cold for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) I don't believe you I do, but I don't believe everything. When Superman and Batman do all that great stuff I usually say to the wife..."I don't believe that"....she's still wondering if I'm serious or not, She gives me some strange looks, you know the type..."What a looper I have here'?

When it got "up" to the temps we're seeing in Chiang Rai, people were in shorts and t-shirts playing in the snow. Minus 58 Celsius .... October 1984 in North Eastern Alberta. A freak cold spell set in...even the locals had never experienced it that cold that early in the beginning of the cold season. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it got really cold the metal would shrink flattening the metal and the balls would roll off. I like my definition better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tookwan cottage Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) I have stopped having the fan on while sleeping. It took me a while to actually do it due to disbelief. In BKK, that is. Edited December 25, 2014 by tookwan cottage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
