Every year it’s the same, and I probably rewrite this text every year as well and I’ll continue doing so until it goes away. To steal a title from the new William Shatner record: I can’t get behind this. Why snow? I can’t be the only one who got a problem with it? And still, no, the cold is fine, the cold is good and far better than the alternative. But does there have to be snow?! Who do we write to if we want this silly glitch in nature fixed? Help.

Comments

1. No, the glitch is when it’s between -5 and +5 degrees and no snow – only darkness and rain. That, if anything, is depressing. A sunny day with snow as shown above is what makes winter worth.

2. Nononono. Snow is a nuisance. It gets in the boots and it takes forever to go anywhere as you have to plow through lots of frozen water. If you never leave the house I can understand it but that’s not how things work in real life.

3. I can’t get behind that kind of cold!

4. Heed the wisdom of Shatner! Maybe it’s just the “I’ve-never-driven-a-car-and-I-don’t-own-a-shovel-Montrealer” in me speaking, but I LOVE snow! To me, that stuff represents a not-too-cold day, more than anything else. It never snows when it’s minus thirty celsius-and, as we (or, at least, anyone-like ol’ Bill, for instance-who grew up in the great metropolis of the northern wastes knows) all know, the lowest level of hell is crisp, clear, sunny, and fuckin’ freezing!

5. Dave: minus thirty celsius is not fun at all, but I’d take that over a hot summer any day of the year. You can always put on more clothes.
   
   Patrick: forgot to say, but a light rain is the way to go!
   
   Boo: you do a killer imitation of the Shatner.

7. Nicklas: “Who do we write to if we want this silly glitch in nature fixed?” I´ve been writing to Kirsten Dunst about various matters for the last six months or so. Maybe I will mention your snow issue in my next letter.

8. Sometimes I do like the snow. Like when I’m out driving my car, and I get the chance to use the handbrake while making a turn, while screaming; “ROUGE TWO! ROUGE TWO! I’VE BEEN HIT!”. Or I go out when the snow is falling and thow myself on the sidewalk, yelling “Ben! Ben! Help me Ben!”. The first snow of the winter always make me feel very… Hoth… The rest of the snow, though, sucks ass.

9. Tommy: You need a shrink. You know that, don´t you?

10. Ola: and this from the person who thinks that Kirsten Dunst is among the top five mastubatory aids.
    — Nicklas    (@ 22. November 2004, 20:01)
11. Ola: A shrink, I need not. Strong in me, the force is.

12. Spider-ho, spider-ho, Kirsten Dunst is a dirty ho…

13. Tommy: You know you do. You want to sleep with mothers. Not your own, just mothers in general. That´s a sign.
    
    Nicklas: Top two this week. With a wet dress.

24. Which one of the above used aliases could be Tommy? I can´t help to wonder.

25. O.k., I know I’m a little late, and the comments seem to have taken an…interesting turn, but I have to say that I’ve been to Vancouver, Glasgow, and London in the winter and I’ll take snow over cold drizzle any day of the year, thanks.
    
    We don’t have any yet though. From that picture it looks like you got our share of it!
    
    Besides, snow is pretty, and much easier to throw at annoying people than rain is.
    — Natalie    (@ 2. December 2004, 23:54)
26. This is the way comments evolve in they’re natural enviroment, dear Natalie. Sad to say, they are all to often held back, even put down, by phenomenons such as “on topic”.
    
    Not to be too negative about it, even “on topic”s has a right to live, it’s just… as a truce comments lover, it breaks my heart to see how they’re treated.
    — Boo    (@ 3. December 2004, 09:35)
27. Natalie: the comment-section here is a dangerous ground since a friend got annoyed with us and we had to put his site under blockage.
    
    And why hold back every silly impulse just because it migth stray a way bit off topic?
    
    The snow’s melting a bit right now which is a bummer. Sleet is Not Fun.
    — Nicklas    (@ 3. December 2004, 11:51)
28. Nicklas: So you mean it was better here before the blockage? Unglaublich!
    
    Hmm. Maybe we ought to comment on his posts, here?!
    — Boo    (@ 3. December 2004, 12:50)
29. No judgemnt involved in what I said at all. It just wasn’t this off-topic consentrated as we did that elsewhere.
    
    And no, please don’t. I want qaulity off-topic here damnit!
    — Nicklas    (@ 3. December 2004, 16:05)
30. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with silly off-topic comments, I just felt that I was being off-topic by being on-topic.
    
    Um, I think that makes sense.
    — Natalie    (@ 3. December 2004, 17:28)
31. Natalie: It does make sense. And to be frank, personally I prefer off-topic. On-topic feels too easy, and pointless. You really only get a good fight with something way off topic.
    
    And yes, at this point, off-topic probobly is more on-topic than than on-topic, but since we embrace off-topic, that’s very much ok.
    — Boo    (@ 3. December 2004, 19:06)
32. Boo: You’re always off-topic.
