WTFSnow? - Sofaspud - 02-24-2011

Yesterday, we were bright and sunny... until about noon.  We then got a whiteout howling in from the lake.
Now there's almost a foot of the white stuff out there.
I like snow and all, but, c'mon, nature.  What the hell did I do to *you*?

I DONT EVEN HAVE ENOUGH SNOW TO DRIFT TEST THE CAT.

"Cat"
1. A wheeled or tracked vehicle primarily used for heavy-duty work such as plowing, towing, trench digging, etc.
2. A small furry quadruped of the feline persuasion.
"Drift test"
1. Find out how a snowplow performs, usually with a new blade
2. Find out how a snowplow performs when the center-of-gravity is shifted rapidly to one side or the other
3. Find out how a small furry quadruped behaves when exposed, usually via air delivery, to a snowdrift
Knowing Wire, it could be any combination of the above.

I maintain my stoic silence in the face of your foul accusations and implications that it isn't _all_ of the above.

"Any combination" includes "all of the above," you will note.

So I would assume he is not intentionally impugning your honour.

This is not a safe assumption. He wasn't five minutes out of the car in Tacoma and he was impinging my honor. (My good man, he says! the nerve!).

I still want to take his delicious snow. I have a perfectly good snowblower (best $700 the house has spent in a while, IMO) and it's been used once this year 8(

If I was impugning your honor, it wasn't intentional.  At first, at least.  Mostly I was just surprised at you turning out to be Jolly Evil Santa (w/ Hat).
