White Christmas In Antarctica

Posted by timothy on from the plus-they-can-exploit-all-the-time-zones dept.

The idea of a white Christmas may seem magical for many of us, but Science Daily asks you to "spare a thought for a team of scientists forgoing the festive season to take part in a novel campaign being carried out in one of the most inhospitable regions on Earth to support ESA's CryoSat mission." Plenty of people cooped up in the upside-down parts seem to find good ways to amuse themselves; I am especially fond of this introduction to Condition One weather, and Cops McMurdo. If anyone is reading this down there, I hope you're having a nice holiday.

    Ever eaten at the Tres Hombres restaurant near Kailua-Kona? Good deep fried ice cream!

    I don't care much about politics, but here's my story:

    I dropped a brown rope this morning the size of a small black child. At one point, I wasn't sure if I was taking a shit, or it the shit was taking me. And while I'm on that point, what's the deal with taking a shit? Shouldn't it be leaving a shit? I'm certainly not taking anything with me when I'm done.

    But back on topic, liberals suck ass.

    My comment was not meant to "disrespect the troops" or anything like that; its sole purpose was to generate a response, and I am proud that I was able to accomplish that. You can call it "bad intent" if you want, but that is true only insofar as to cause general offense (just like any other troll); I think you are simply reading too much into it.
