From: Amaranth Date: 14 Jan 00 - 10:14 PM it'll freeze the balls off a brass monkey...and before anyone gets too upset, this expression goes back to the time of Frobisher and Arctic exploration. British ships carried cannon balls on a rack made of brass, called a brass monkey. When the temperature went low enough the rack would contract enough that the balls would fall off. |

So cold in that barn at 3:30, that my fingers were blue under the nails. So cold that all the animals were steaming. So cold that the little calf I pulled shook his head, gave a start, and made straight like he wanted to crawl right back where he came from!! So cold that even kat's "Wellies" song produced a faint chuckle, that immediately froze, fell to the ground, and was devoured by a goat. At least IT'S warm now...Elle |

Subject: RE: BS: It's so cold that... From: Micca Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:43 AM When I was at sea if someone came in to the Messroom and said it was cold outside everyone in chorus recited the following " As cold as a frog in an ice-bound pool As cold as the tip of an Eskimo's tool As cold as charity and thats F***ing chilly but it isn't as cold as our little Willy 'Cos He's dead poor bastard" amazing what strange customs grow up when you live in isolation for a time.

Subject: RE: BS: It's so cold that... From: Shimbo Darktree Date: 15 Jan 00 - 09:58 AM Kat, we heard that pin drop in Brisbane. In Tasmania (our most southern state, and my homeland), it gets so cold that, when filling up the car, the petrol (gas) station attendant asks whether you want one lump, or two. It was so cold one day, I had to quit smoking, because the smoke froze in the cigarette, and the flame froze to the match. But Queensland is much warmer :-) Hey, Willie-O, wattinhell is a Tercel ... or shouldnt I ask? Shimbo |
