coupes. Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Well, I made a thread like this last summer I beleive, but I think this is a good time for a second one. With the current heat wave striking hard in Europe and more recently in North America, we all have to find ways to cool down. So, in this thread, share how you guys like too cool down a bit. Do you crack open a beer, jump in the pool, ride your bike in a car wash ?
Curt-Man Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 same, tomorrow however I'm going for a swim. Pop/fudge/creamsicles are always nice too.
St. Jimmy Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I still can't belive what you guys classify as a heat wave! But anyway, We have a pool in our backyard so that's handy. Most nights at about midnight we can get in and swim around 'cause it's still nice and warm. Failing that, Sit inside and watch a movie with the air conditioner blowing right at you. The bad thing is, It's winter over here (Australia) and I'm freezing my ass off and you're all saying how it's nice and hot. It's like torture! (It's only 16 degrees here)
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I just installed Xgl/Compiz on my Linux box, so I shall be playing around with it for a while.
RoxStar Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I was in Ireland when they had there heat wave. They were all "saints preserve us! Its been at leat 25 for two solid weeks!" Schoolkids were just plopping down on the grass, and people were tanning when it was like, 22 :-p, not that the irish can tan anyway.
Lantzen Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 We have a pool, so i usaly use that to cool me down
swphreak Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 After living in Florida for over 10 years, you get used to the heat. Plus, my friend has a pool, and he let's us swim whenever we feel like it.
narfblat Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Cool Time, Pool Time.(HomeStarRunner.com) It's been hot lately, but not today. Today was a crazy thunderstorm with strong wind and insta-soak rain. My brother was working on an air conditioning unit on some store's roof when the storm hit. Not very fun.
jebbers Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 central air and a cold shower after a hot, muggy day at work...speeking of which some of you know i almost died at my job (roofer) well the other day, today, and tomorrow it will/have topped 95 degrees out here in Buffalo! But i was working out on a ledge, squating down for about 5 minutes and when i stood up i whited out...i grabbed and clung to the closest wall for dear life so i wouldnt fall 5 stories to my death but i cant wait to start working with pitch again!/sarcasm
Tinny Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Oh man, that is close, good to see you are alright . Its hot when you have to walk and take the train from one college campus to the next here, but its not too bad. In India its 10x worse
St. Jimmy Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Try going on a boot camp wit hthe Army Cadets in summer! You end up wondering why you put yourself through that ****.
Datheus Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Honestly, I don't cool myself down. I work in a kitchen with a 600 degree oven all day. It's often cooler outside than it is at my job.

If it was a true Irishman saying that, there would be at least one f*** in there. Or at least one swear word.
St. Jimmy Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 For some reason, I can't imagen Ireland being hot. I'm sure it prolly get's hot but it just seems wierd...

BongoBob Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Meh, a week or two ago we were dyin in my house. The temps for a week straight were 110+. Ah, good ol Vegas summers.
manoman81 Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Yeah well, I dont have AC at home and Im on campus all day going to class. At least we have AC at work. Since the orignal question was semi serious, drink lots of water. Not that Gatorade crap either. Straight water.
Pho3nix Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I just open my window, strip down to only boxers and drink Coke.
coupes. Posted August 2, 2006 Author Posted August 2, 2006 Yeah, wearing no pants is very liberating, ans somewhat refreshing too. I usually use a fan or put on the AC to cool myself down, but a cool shower also does the trick.
RoxStar Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I just open my window, strip down to only boxers and drink Coke. I do the same thing, with a gallon of water. I don't care what the neighbors think anymore. I was on the trampoline in my swimsuit, spraying myself this morning, at 7 am
toms Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I think the heatwave may have passed in europe, or at least the uk. FOR NOW!! *dramatic music* I actually had to close my bedroom windows about an hour ago... i think they have been open day and night for the past 90 days nonstop. Getting a desk fan for my room was the only thing that got me through.
