Would you believe that the water froze so fast that the ice was still warm?



That ain't nothing.




This one time ... at hunting camp... in Alaska ................. it was soooooooo cold that.....................


I got up in the middle of the night to pee and............



Slush was coming out of my wang. It froze solid by the time it hit the ground and bounced like buckshot on the ice.


I didn't check to see if it was still warm though. laugh

I love this website. If I don't like our weather 'cause it's cold, it makes me feel better. If I don't like the "heat" we are having, I can look here and feel better. grin

Naw, that isn't cold, although it does sound like it was getting close.

One time I was deer hunting in Manitoba. It was so cold that when I took a piss, I had to keep backing up!

I've always been happy if the cold hasn't reduced the "little guy" to a stubby mass of unstretchable flesh which can't be extended beyond the layers of insulation. I hate the resulting yellow icicles that are formed in those layers as a result.

But heck, anyone who thinks "Don't piss into the wind" means "Piss the other way" has never felt the yellow updraft that can happen when "going" with the wind in the western sub-arctic.
