If you're going to go with the Rasputin, I might need to up my game.

How does a round of Talisker's sound? :9

I have no idea why you posted a :banghead: icon, unless it's because the ice isn't melting fast enough for you. :P

Is that it or did I miss something? :shrug:

24. Ironically enough
I once took a 16-hour car trip with nothing but a lone Weird Al tape. (Weird Al and one song from a certain pop duo. Did I mention it was 1988?)

Suffice to say, I'm not a fan. x(

25. Aw... seriously???
I have found him to be funny as hell from the very beginning, and generally spot-on with his use of satire to provide social commentary and hone in on things that are popular yet ridiculous.

But then, to each their own I suppose. :hi:

26. It was funny the first three or four times
Right around hour 10 it got old. x(

On the plus side, I know all the lyrics to "Blame It On The Rain." :D

(And I remembered: I know half the lyrics to "Parents Just Don't Understand" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, but then the song cut off halfway through.)

Memories. :D

29. Color me unimpressed. The anomaly has been trending towards zero since December.
There's just not enough gloom and doom in this graph for me this year.

Now, if we could see a graph of ice VOLUME, then we might have something.

But this? :boring:

I tell ya, waiting for the A-pock-o-lips (tm) sure can be a trial.

34. The melt season is not over yet
There is at least two weeks to go plus the month of July marks the highest sea surface temperatures in memory. Egg shell thin ice can melt quickly, and I think this year will be lower than 2008.

The Arctic ice extent will begin to swing wildly in the next few years with both record low as well as record highs. When the wind conditions get right, ice extent will go well below the 2007 levels.
