Welp, it's officially summer according to me. The A/C is clicked on,

[DS1]

I'm sipping on a Corona *hey, it's summer beer*, the cat's in the window, I'm wearing shorts and sunglasses.

All the hotties girls currently in higher ed are moseying up and down the road in at little as legally allowable.

Later today I'm headed to a cookout.

Here's a :toast: to all my fellow New Englanders who slogged through that hellacious winter with me!

B-)
:beer:

1. bwaahaahahahahahaha

'girls' is better than 'hotties'?

OK, marginally, maybe. :)

Still... you get one of these! :spank:

[DS1]

4. Okay okay! How about students of the curvy persuasion?

I keed!

Well, only a little, I'm just a guy.

[redqueen]

8. Just givin you a hard time.

No need to get defensive. :)

Just a guy? Where have all the men gone? :evilgrin:

[DS1]

9. I'm not defensive, I'm offensive

:D

And I'm quite secure in my manlitude

[GOPisEvil]

2. I finally gave in last week.

So, why the hell is it going to be cool this weekend? x(

[Abelman]

3. Gloat, why don't you!

It's a balmy 20 degrees here with snow still on the ground.

Why the hell did I ever move here?

Corona is delicious.

That is all.

[DS1]

5. I earned this.

I'm not saying you haven't, but this is LONG overdue :D

[Abelman]

18. I agree

Anyone who has to go through a cold winter deserves to sip Corona on a hot day. Especially on a porch, feet kicked up, bottles in a bucket of ice. So nice.

[terrya]

6. Yep...when the Coronas are opened, it's summer.

That's proof for me. Enjoy. :-)

[DS1]

14. Tanks!

In fact, I ran out and got some earlier partly because my photo portfolio has some nifty pics of Corona.

If you go here and click on Photography you'll find 2 pics

It's in Flash 7, sorry. And no, it's not anywhere near complete yet.

[matcom]

7. 'dem chicks looking FINE in 'dem short shorts

:hide:

[DS1]

10. There's some fine tomato sprouting 'round these parts

:D

[matcom]

13. mmmmm camel's in the desert

wait! this an OASIS THREAD NOW? :D

[DS1]

15. how about camel is the dessert?

:D

[matcom]

16. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

*slurp* :bounce:

i.like.pie.

[chickenscratching]

28. and here's a slice for you

[DS1]

30. bwah!!!

and that's all I have to say about that

[chickenscratching]

35. are you telling me

you don't like my hot tuna pie? :cry:

[DS1]

37. Depends if it comes with cheese or not

really.

[chickenscratching]

27. just for you

[WindRavenX]

11. Mmm Corona...

Good choice. Yesterday, everyone was drinking Miller-lite :eyes: :eyes:

[DS1]

12. Corona isn't my favorite beer, but it's my favorite hot weather beer

:-)

[WindRavenX]

21. Well, anything is better than Miller-Lite

That's just wrong.
Sam Adams is my favorite, but you're right, nothing beats an icy Corona with a lime wedge on a hot day :toast:

[DS1]

24. Coors Light isn't better than Miller-Lite

If I were on fire in the desert, I doubt I'd crack open a can of Coors Light to douse myself for fear of some of it accidently touching my lips. However, I would crack open a can, after vigorously shaking it, and douse your roommates with it. If I were you, which I'm not, but it's a suggestion.

[WindRavenX]

33. They left some vodka out...

...maybe some vodka-exlaxx would send a message? :)

[DS1]

36. Step under my wing for a moment, young roommate warfare padawan..

Rule number one. If you're sleeping in the bottom bunk, ex-lax is NEVER an option. Think about it.

Now, while they are both making a scene, you could say, accidently lightly smear some cayenne-impregnated vaseline or other such invisible cream on the insides of their undies. The ensuing "You just gave me an STD, I'm burning my balls off here / Fuck you, you just gave ME something" war should be entertaining.

[WindRavenX]

38. tee-hee

I've already been through that, but now that you mention that...it might be good for another chuckle :hi:
You're going to be at the meetup this Saturday, right?

[DS1]

39. No, but Slice will

:rofl:

[WindRavenX]

40. rrah?

Whatchu talkin' bout Willis??

[DS1]

41. well...

It's an about-to-be-short-lived ongoing joke about Slice being the DS1 answer to U2's 'The Edge'.

See sig.

[WindRavenX]

42. sig is turned off

High traffic due to the new Pope and all...
And you don't &hearts The Edge? I'm CRUSHED :cry: :cry:

[Left Is Write]

17. It must be summer.

Even though it's a mite chilly today. My kids are outside with ice cream cones and one of the neighbors just fired up the lawn mower.

I have a feeling, though, that in my neck of the woods we're going to go from chilly spring to blazing hot summer without a string of nicer days in between. This spring has been awfully windy.

[DS1]

20. We're headed for doom and gloom tomorrow, don't worry

Back to under 50 and raining, but I'm equally okay with that, just so long as it's not snowing. In fact my still thick-from-this-nightmare blood isn't adapting to the heat that quick, so a cooling off day is nice. Plus it makes all the sprouty planty stuff grow nice and quick, which is always a nice thing to see after say... this

[Bouncy Ball]

19. Hang on just a darn second.

It wasn't too long ago you were bitching about all the snow on the ground and now you've got the AC on??????

We haven't turned it on HERE yet. :wtf:

And we're going to put it off as long as possible. We never get past mid-May, though.

But you've got AC on in Massachussu Massacheuse (no that's the French spelling) Massachusse (no too many s's) WHEREVER you are in the far northeast????

On edit: looking forward to summer is not allowed here. It's a sure sign that you are insane.

[DS1]

22. See post 20 and understand that I live on the third floor of a house

which is really a renovated attic, so it tends to get a little warm up here faster than the rest of the house.

[Bouncy Ball]

25. Well, that makes more sense.

Now I'm all depressed thinking about summer. (Please understand spring lasts about two weeks here.) :cry:

:-(

Hey did you know, can't remember where I read it but, people in the south actually get SAD (Seasonal Something Depression) in the SUMMER instead of in the winter? Yeah, because you avoid the sun in some parts of the country and the really really hot stuff lasts a LONG ass time (think of your winters) and you tend to stay inside a lot. So you get very little exposure to sunshine and people get depressed.

Ironic, eh?

[DS1]

29. I'd be sad too, if I left a layer of skin on my car seat after ever trip

to the store. There was a point in my life where I was sold on Texas, can you believe that? I can't. I wanted a pickup truck too. Call it post-Marine Corps DTs. :shudder:

[Bouncy Ball]

31. Your title line:

:rofl:

Glad you got over that. That sounds nasty. You come here, you get stuck here.

Ok I have to go think about happier things than summer, because summer just sucks. It lasts until freaking November.

[Longgrain]

23. I turned on the AC in my car for the first time this week too...

79 degrees when I left work a few hours ago.

A lots less clothing too...;-)

Us in the Nor' East deserve it!

[DS1]

26. Amen Brother Longgrain!

:toast:

[Goathead]

32. Yeah great, ice cold winter to unbearably muggy humid hot summer.

Two days of temperate spring like weather.

[DS1]

34. You're in complete denial, my friend

;-)
