Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 What's crazy is that even on these viciously cold mornings I still see these idiots--who are old enough to know better--on their way to work, jacket unzipped, no hat, not scarf, no gloves, hair still wet from their shower, and I wonder if I suddenly became the world's biggest vag, or if these guys are just dumb and suffering. I now live (not by choice) in Fairbanks, Alaska. I thought I had experienced cold and dry conditions until I came here. Last week it reached -35 degrees almost every day. As soon as you step outside, your eyes freeze, your lungs freeze with that first breath, and your nasal passages freeze. I literally sprint from my car (which needs to be plugged in) to work. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's kinda weird here because football games start at 9:00am (which means I'm hammered by about 9:30). My wife and I go to this bar to watch the Bills game, and surprisingly, the place is always full of Bills fans. It's great to see that Bills nation has spread to the far reaches of interior Alaska. Go Bills!!
San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Wow. Juneau is one thing. Anchorage quite another. But Fairbanks? Holy Crap. Your description reminds me of that Jack London short story, To Build a Fire. Spit freezing before it hits the ground...
