Ugh. Heat. Who do we need to go to war with to lower this god-for-saken temperature? I'm sure China has something to do with this.
Hot enough for ya? Yes, that is my favorite question this time of year. I slowly wait for the first heatwave of the summer and then anticipate all the people who will greet me in my elevator, in the hallway, and on the street by saying my least favorite phrase/question, "Hot enough for ya?" You know what? It is hot enough for me. It's hotter than Dina Lohan's crotch during "ladies days" (I'm assuming).
Here in NYC it's been insanely hot for the last few days and will be for the next few days, so you know what that means! This weather is all that people will talk about. This topic also makes the top story on the news and they always seem to show fat people sitting in a public pool cooling off. You know, skinny people need to cool off too. And I don't want to be sitting in water that fatties have been sitting in. Yuck.
You would seriously think that we have NEVER experienced "summer heat" before. It's insane. And you always get that one jackass newscaster who has to say my other "favorite" line of the summer, "You could fry an egg on the sidewalk, it's so hot!" Really? You know what I would say if I was the other newscaster? "Your mother's a whore!" Seriously, we have frying pans to fry eggs. We don't need the sidewalk. Where does this newscaster live and how much does he get paid that he needs to utilize the sidewalk to cook? That's just gross and pretty unsanitary. Loser.
They always seem to remind you, too, that you should drink lots of water when it's this hot. Really? I usually go for a long run in 100 degree heat and then rehydrate by downing a few beers and then a few coffees. Then, for good measure, I take shots of sawdust. Oh, and they always tell you to check on the elderly. Really? No thanks. What makes you think I want to go into my neighbors apartment and find them all decaying and smelly. Sounds like a blast, but I'll pass, thanks.
Then, they always show the homeless. You know what? I'm jealous. I'd rather be getting a tan outside then stuck in my office. It's almost too cold in my office anyway. However, if I were homeless I wouldn't be wearing a bright orange winter coat. That's just crazy.
So, in conclusion, "yes" it is hot enough for me, but stop trying to scare me with this heat. It's just heat. I won't burst into flames when I walk outside.
As a sidenote, my mom called and asked me if I had an popsicles. Awww. Unless I'm putting them down my pants, they're not going to cool me off. Oh hell. I'm going to get some opsicles and give it a try. Down my pants, I mean. That was clear, right?
Like Snoopy always says: Stay Cool!
