It's So Hot...

It's so hot ...
The old (and odd) sayings fly as the temperature rises

By ADRIENNE JOHNSON MARTIN, Staff Writer

Perhaps, as you stumbled in the house, clammy and damp, you said, "Man, it's hot," for what seems like the hundredth time. We know we have and we're tired of repeating ourselves. We figured if our bodies can't be fresh, at least our words can be.

So we decided to ask you for your favorite hot phrases. You called, you wrote and you shared a bunch, even adding a bit of family and a little Southern history too. We thank you.

In return we offer a bit of good news. Based on climatological data from 1948 to 2004 at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, the National Weather Service's Raleigh Forecast Office says this date, on average, is the hottest day of the year in these parts. So this is probably as steamy as it gets!

Meanwhile until the heat peaks in August, try out a hot phrase. They won't make the temperature drop, but they might make you smile. And that's pretty cool.

It's hotter than seven hells out there.

It's hotter than 40 hells.

It's hotter than the four sides of hell.

It's so hot that it makes me want to take off my skin and sit in my bones.

I hope you brought the champagne glasses because it is TOASTY out.

And remember:

It's not the heat, it's the humidity.

If it bothers you that much, why go to the trouble of posting in it? And if Parrot Monkey's crusade to have the artwork to Buffett's albums restored also bothers you so much, why go on and on about it? He's not going to give up on it just because people like yourself don't share the same passion. Nor am I going to stop posting articles. Why not just accept the facts and shut up already? Oh, I know. That'd be waaaaaaaaaay too easy.

Its hotter than Madonna in a pointy bra

Ringling, your "joke" has become really stale and you accomplish nothing more then bringing up something you just don't like talking about, over and over again.

Posting the same thing in almost every thread Jahfin or I start or even post in is childish, just by the fact alone you’re doing it because YOU don't like articles. I hope you acknowledge your idiocy here and realize your alone in raising hell in this thread, as there are other people who are interested in this, and many other articles that are posted. If you don’t like them, there is an option that I’ll introduce you to: DON’T READ THEM AND GROW THE HELL UP!

How does anybody know they won't like something before they read it? I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I'm not clairvoyant.

well, I could post the picture of Micheal Jackson on Pamela Anderson and claim it was you again.

Truer words could not be spoken.... tho I doubt you'll see the irony in the source of the quote...

Or you could actuallly grow up and realize that no matter how childish you behave I'm still going to post articles.

It's not a matter of getting the humor, it's a matter of those of you that continue to complain about these things knowing full well I'm not going to stop posting articles and Parrot Monkey is not going to suddenly give up on his campaign to have Buffett's back catalog restored to it's proper condition. If you're trying to get your point across that you don't like either of these things you accomplished that a looooooooong time ago. Anything you've had to say about it since doesn't do anything to help your cause, all it does it show how much of a whining ass crybaby you are. So, take a hint and shut the hell up about it already.

[Tiki Bar]

Ringling, please knock it off.
J and PM... it's harmless poking fun.

And, I can't come up with a hot thing right now... the heat broke, and it's a sunny and pleasant high 70's, low 80's kinda day!
