I experienced the ultimate in humidity today

**Benny Profane** · 08-03-2007, 11:47 PM

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

**Chainsaw_Willie** · 08-04-2007, 12:46 AM

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.

You guys are all a bunch of fags. Try going up into a 130 degree attic and spraying it down with toxic chemicals. Come down from that shit and everything you pussies have described thusfar seems like the arctic circle.

Pensacola Florida in Aug when I was in the Navy. 6am 98 degrees 98% humidity and running three miles. Everybody puked.

**Benny Profane** · 08-04-2007, 12:19 PM

breathe deep Jer, breathe deep. Shit, hyperventilate.

I been a lot of Humid places (including being in the middle of the one that started this thread wearing a wool suit & tie,) but I think nothing beats Nashville TN in August in foot ball pads.

relative humidity

**72Twenty** · 08-05-2007, 01:54 PM

You guys are pussies -- I lived in Lagos, Nigeria for 4 years when I was a kid. You haven't experienced humidity until you've been in Africa for an extended period of time.

I also lived in Houston for a couple years. I played football and lacrosse in Houston. I know what Woodsy is talking about.

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:

No kidding. Unfortunately my dad's job (petroleum engineer) has taken my family to some of the less glamorous places in the world.

**Benny Profane** · 08-05-2007, 02:15 PM

The New Yorker ran a piece about Lagos recently, and it does not sound like a very nice place at all. As a matter of fact, I would have to say that it is one of the dirtiest, most corrupt, and generally horrible urban centers in the world, although a few places in South Asia would have a go at competing with that. 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.

^^ Agreed.

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.
