That’s nothing **Tuckerfan**. Just look at you there, all nice and cozy and warm. Why, you probably had some nice hot cocoa waiting for you when done! Here’s what happens when you get [beset in Antarctic ice for months on end!](http://usera.imagecave.com/Scruloose/scan0002.jpg) Eating nothing but snow and penguins all day! IN A BLIZZARD!! [sub]I’m on the right[/sub] OK, so it was the Kennebec river. For 3 days. And we were playing NHL 2000 on the playstation 2. But it was still COLD!!! ---

Actually, we’re not allowed to cook on the furnace anymore after a guy accidently dropped his potato in it and blew metal all over the shop! :eek: And actually, cold doesn’t bother me if there’s snow around. It’s just when it’s cold and there’s no snow that I’m bothered by it. ---

Well, you get used to it, since our metal’s stored outside, and is sometimes wet when it gets shoveled into the furnace (which then promptly “burps” some of it back up). After you’ve been there for a while, you tend to ignore it, unless you see Big John running. _That’s_ when you start panicking. ---
