Hot or not

Hot. Best cantankerous cuss this side of Twain.
Marvel Comics’s Civil War II series

Not. I just can’t get into comics.

Arnold Palmers, the drink

Not, I don’t drink iced tea or lemonade, mixing them seems like the worst of both worlds.

destiny

Hot. We make our own destinities. Sure, crap happens, but there is much we are in control of.

Luck

right now? not so hot.

steakhouses

Hot. I haven’t been to many, but the ones I have been to, I’ve enjoyed very much.

Cap’n Crunch cereal

Hot. Some kids never grow up.

Grape Nuts

Hot. Though I no longer eat cereal, I used to love it.

snow tires

Not. I live in California.

NBC Olympic coverage.

Hot. Could watch soccer all day, along with 8 other channels of sports.

Horseback riding

Not, they smell and I feel bad for the horse. I’d rather drive a 4 wheeler or dune buggy.

Desert tortoise lying on its back in the hot sun

Hot in temperature; not hot conceptually

Baseball

Hot, even though I am a currently-suffering Giants fan.

Autumn

Hot. Especially in San Francisco, where it’s our hottest season.

Baskin Robbins

Hot, but not as good as Ben & Jerry’s.

koi ponds

Hot, if not mine to tend.

Ludovico technique

Not. Not something I ever want to experience.

naked baby photos

Not. Why is nudity cool with babies when it’s almost universally frowned upon by society otherwise?

the 588-2300 EMPIIIIRE jingle

Not. For how many more decades are they gonna use that lame jingle? And the “today” bugs me.

wall-to-wall carpeting

Hot, good for sound and thermal insulation.

Bot flies
