So you think you're fed up with Snow?

[MolaKule]

Quote:
Fargo, ND – Local resident Todd Fox has been detained for “reckless endangerment” and “illegal use of high-powered fire-breathing weaponry” for attacking snow with his flamethrower. Fox reportedly became so fed up with the week-long blowing snow epidemic in his area that he decided to KILL IT WITH FIRE.

The neighborhood was treated with quite a show last night as Fox unleashed an inferno upon the mountainous snow palace that was his front yard. Neighbors to his immediate right and left noticed a bright orange cloud and could hear what they thought was “puff the magic dragon spewing mayhem all over [censored],” which prompted one of them to notify police.

Fox stated that he was simply “fed up with battling the elements” and that he did not possess the willpower necessary to move “four billion tons of white [censored].”

Police say that Fox surrendered his efforts immediately upon their arrival and that his front yard “looked like a hydrogen bomb had gone off.” They think he was just happy to be done with snow removal, even if it did mean a trip to jail.

That's one way to do it. Probably would have been cheaper in the long run to just buy a plane ticket somewhere warm though...

This all sounds completely reasonable to me.

They sell these fire wands at the local farm store. Propane powered. Intended for farmers to start fires with. I could see using one of them for this.

Guy would have never lasted through what you've seen this year.

After seeing how much Chicago got, I go no complaints. I once saw a guy who ran the local propane place trying to melt a huge pile of snow & ice with one of those propane wands. He only made very slow headway. That made me appreciate how much heat it takes to melt snow & ice.

Sissies, winters were colder and snowier when I was a kid. I worked nights in a ship yard. This is a warm spell.

Between my younger years living in Michigan and my preteen years living in the South, and teen years living in St. Louis, I would have to agree.

Weather goes through warm and cold cycles, between low precip, and high precip cycles, between high wind and low wind cycles.

THC does no favors to youth today by preaching that weather is more severe today than in the past.

Sounds like Todd isn't playing with a full deck.

This DOES NOT sound like the thing you pick up at the hard ware store. More like the flamethrowers that Jimmy Carter banned the military from using in the 70s.

I love it!
I wonder whether Todd imbibed a little before this brainstrom hit him?

THC or did you mean TWC?


Didn't know marijuana could predict weather!
