Yes, yes it is. And our cars don’t use gas, they use maple syrup. So you can drive for a while, stop have some pancakes and keep going. I love this country… ---

Mphurphh mmmph ffrmphihiphmmm. Phrummm mmprmm frm. Mmrmm. _sounds of \*\*Kn_ckers\*\* digging herself out of twelve feet of snow\* Whew! I see there’s been all sorts of fun and hijinks here over the weekend. Me, I’ve been wallowing in snowdrifts. Such fun. Well, fun in the sense of OH MY GOD, THE CABIN FEVER WILL KILL ME and I’LL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THIS SNOWBANK! Of course, I’m sure this pales in comparison to **Wearia** ’s Metric Madness up there in the frozen tundra. Icily yours, Kn\*ckers ---

Perhaps you could drain gas from your car and set the snow on fire? -Tars Takas ---

Except it doesn’t come down in flakes, it comes down in hard pellets and almost always precedes thunderstorms. Soft and flaky stuff that piles up in “drifts”, on the other hand, is patently absurd. ---

Of course snow is real! What, you think that snow is just some clever ploy to keep people from moving up here and taking over our syrup industry? Ha, thats funny… ha…ha… And what do you think that the snow is just ground up styrofoam littered by small planes across the border to make it seem like its everywhere? Thats crazy your all crazy! ---

Ha, thats funny… ha…ha…** Of course it isn’t a ploy to keep people away from the syrup industry. The syrup industry doesn’t have that much power. Yet. All right-thinking people know about the great caribou and beaver conspiracy, on the other hand (why do you think that the televisions are beaver powered?). That’s the _real_ source of the rumors about this so called “snow” ---

I spent the day in an air-conditioned casino and an air-conditioned bus. I saw no snow, nor any white matter save that atop the heads of the senior citizens with whom I traveled. :rolleyes: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by carnivorousplant \* > \*\*kn()ckers? \*\* Whaddya want, already? I hate how everybody goes and posts when I’m not here, and then when I AM here, I have all this reading to catch up on. You all really need to run your lives according to MY schedule. …And what did you do with my asterisk? It seems to have been lost. I’m all confused. Maybe it’s buried in a snowbank. Also, you-all warm-weather disbelievers-of-snow can bend over and dig through two feet of snow to kiss my frostbitten little bum. Man, this thread has strayed so far from the original point, it’s not even funny. Oh, wait, yeah it is. ---

“Relatively uninjured”? Oh, I’ll bet you say that to all the girls, **carni** … Such a flatterer! 😉 (Point of interest; I am in fact relatively uninjured, but I have a bruise on my knee, and I don’t know where it came from. I think I walked into a table.)
