It was like, 95 or something today, and 110% humidity, and a rain shower quickly cruised through Manhattan, and the sun popped right out again. Good Lord. Spider monkeys and ferns popped out of doorways. My balls grew moss on the north side.
But I bet the DC/Baltimore mags have a one up.
Try living in the Ohio valley, that there's some real humid shit;)
Speaking of humid shit - damn I hate having to take a crap in the jobsite honeybucket when it hasn't been emptied in 4 days and it's 90 degrees and the sun is beating down directly on it.
I remember playing in an ultimate frisbee tournament where it was 90 degrees, which isn't horrible, but it was 100% humidity. Every half hour, it would shower for 5 minutes, which was nice, but it left all sorts of moisture on the ground and then the sun would come out creating a steamroom-like environment. It did that all day. Brutal.
At sunset last night it was still 88 degrees, and i could barely see across the valley through the haze. I thought of walking to the new bar nearby for dinner, but it's German food, and I couldn't shake the image of basting like a knockwurst on the walk back.
I'd say the only saving grace to living here are the good winters, but I'd be lying.
Ultimate Humidity = The sweat from your balls dripping down the crack of your sister-in-laws ass.
The cover of this week's New Yorker backs you up on this.Quote:

I also lived in Houston for a couple years. I played football and lacrosse in Houston. I know what Woodsy is talking about. :frown: :eek:
Being a Wyoming native, and returning to live in Wyoming; but having experienced some of those other places, I am certainly thankful I live back in Wyo and have no desire to ever leave again (for residency).
What Lagos looked/looks like:

Hell on Earth.
Bootcamp at Parris Island. I arrived on July 6 and was there until September 22 of 1988. Heat, humidity, and fuggin sand fleas.Quote:

I probably win this game with work at the mine in Nevada occasionally becoming 115-130 deg F 100% humidity, but at that point no one was really working.
