Hot or not

Not, at least for someone like me, who doesn’t speak much Spanish.

Geico commercials

More clever and entertaining than the average ad

clip-on ties

Not. Dear Lord, NOT!

Dickeys

Not. Unless you’re Howard Wolowitz.

Miracle Whip

Hot, in the sense that it’s much better than mayonnaise. Yes, I’m a philistine.

Shakespeare’s plays

Hot, at least the ones I’ve seen/read.

James Taylor

Hot. His music, anyway. In my mind I’m gone to Carolina…

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

I put that because my wife doesn’t like the movie. No idea why.

Hot, but only mildly so. I’ve never understood the absolute adoration of that movie.

Morgan Freeman

Hot. Total stud, great speaking voice, good actor.

Kelly Murphy (6’ 2" - Team USA Volleyball, Rio Olympics)

Not my cup of tea.
Iced Espresso.

Hot Espresso is hot. Iced Espresso is not.

Vicks

Vicks Vap-O-Rub? Hot, on occasion. Vicks Formula 44? Not. Nasty stuff.

California

Sometimes excessively hot

Art deco architecture

Very hot. Love it. My all-time favorite example: Chrysler Building - Wikipedia

The Chrysler Building

Very hot. I used to work diagonally across the street from it, on the 56th floor. Great views.

Annie Oakley

Hot! Chick’s n guns always are. But more so when she actually knows how to use it!

Wankel rotary engines

Lukewarm. Good engines but bad mileage.

Diesel Locomotives

Hot. Beat the hell out of the coal-burning ones.

yellow galoshes

Hot, in the sense of “very cute on little kids.”

Rainy days
