Icebirds
What’s a clear sign that it’s really cold out? When you can watch seagulls walk across the Chicago River.
And hey! I thought rivers didn’t freeze. I also thought it never snowed when the temperature was below zero. Up is down, left is right, I think I’m starting to find runny noses attractive. What the hell is going on?

I think that the earth may have shifted on its axis, and we are facing certain impending doom. Beyond that, it’s Feb in Chicago.

I have tried to write a witty comment three times, and have failed utterly. I shall now retire to a corner to sulk like the witless drone I am.

It’s when the seagulls can no longer walk across the ice because they’re imbedded in it that you know there’s a problem.

Well, runny noses are only attractive when up is down.

A runny nose on a seagull.
Now THAT’s something attractive.
What? You don’t call it a nose in Chicago?

I feel cold FOR you.

I think right now, with as cold as it is, if you didn’t find runny noses attractive you’d never have a date. You also have to find frozen nose hair attractive, because there’s no getting around that one right now either.

strode: oh yeah… i forgot that this happens every year!
tracy lynn: i know that’s not true. the reality is that you had a comment that was just too witty to share with the likes of us. you’re so selfish that way.
shari: ewwww. little trapped seagull feet – gross!
roy: you are my yoda.
peefer: once again, let me do the canadian/american translation for you: nose = beak, hand = paw, colour = color, smarties = m&m’s. got it?
sandra: i appreciate the sympathy!
churlita: well that’s odd – i do find runny noses attractive, yet still remain single…

Sigh… I know that I will be a seagull in my next life. I would love to walk on water.
And for the runny nose? Take your mom up on that offer of your aunt’s old fur coat. PETA be damned…fur is WARM!!!!

You’re probably going to delete that spam from Mr. Cwqbxoo, but I just wanted to say that the cod phentermine sounds like pretty cool stuff.

I was just remembering when I lived in Chicago, and actually cried one morning while waiting for the el at the Western stop on the blue line. It was SO COLD that the tracks kept freezing and the trains were so crowded that it took more than an hour to get on one.
