Pretty much the best thing ever...

60 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat. Iowans plant gardens.

50 above zero: Californians shiver uncontrollably. People are sunbathing in Des Moines.

40 above zero: Import cars won’t start. Iowans drive with the sunroof open.

32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in Okoboji gets thicker.

20 above zero: New Mexicans don long johns, parkas and wool hats & mittens. Iowans throw on a flannel shirt.

15 above zero: New York landlords finally turn on the heat. People in Iowans have one last cookout before it gets cold.

Zero: People in Miami all die. Iowans close the windows.

10 below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico. Iowans dig their winter coats out of storage.

25 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. Girl Scouts in Iowa still selling cookies door to door.

40 below zero: Washington, D.C. finally runs out of hot air. People in Iowa let their dogs sleep indoors.

I wish I could endure cold like Iowan, apparently Eskimo. xD

Funny stuff!

[soc_puppet]

XD So true. So tragically, tragically true.

You could also substitute any state from Montana east along the US-Canadian border. (almost wrote US/Canadian. Sounds like a pairing to me! XD )

We're made of steel or something :D I AM LIKE NINJA ESKIMO!!!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I thought it was hilarious :)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Yup... *looks out window at crazy-falling snow*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Yeah--I saw one copy with "Minnesota" instead of Iowa. Basically, anywhere in the Midwest or Northern US, where it snows like mad :D

The Californian in me laughs at the fact that I pwn Floridians, and only them (my cousin lives in FL, I win!!). And yet, Iowans are all-mighty, dude.

Um, I commented earlier (anonymously, completely by accident! So, that's me, FYI), but I'm not sure if LJ ate it or not >_<.

Iowans own us Californians like whoa.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I saw it--due to some really stupid flamers who probably still think I don't know who they are, I screen anonymous comments on my LJ. So yup, see above! *points*

Iowans pwn everyone like whoa ^.~

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

THAT'S RIGHT! BOW BEFORE US, PUNY REST-OF-THE-WORLD!!

*is sedated*

[ytak.livejournal.com]

Or has chilling winds that drop the temp down even further (I'm from North Dakota, originally, I know).

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Yup! Kinda like right now... *stares out window*

MIDWESTERNERS UNITE! :D

So remember the band trip to Cali during my junior/your sophmore year? Remember the door guy saying"It's pretty cold out there, you might want to grab a sweater."?
I still think of that and Laugh.

I remember a group of us walking back after the Sea World show--we'd been in the Soak Zone, so we were drenched and laughing our heads off...and this couple approached us and asked, "Aren't you cold??" And we replied, "Naaaaah, we're from Iowa--this is nothing! They've got thirty-below blizzards back home!"

And another group overheard us and starting singing "Let It Snow."

So we chased them.

All the way to the parking lot.

...then my hair froze XD

That was a great trip ^__________^

Yeeeeeeeees. We shall take over the world during the next ice age.

(Though, I live in Texas now.)

[kaitodoushi.livejournal.com]

XDDD That is love. Even though you all ready told me parts of it I still laughed way too hard.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Because we'll be the only ones alive, and we'll be walking around going, "Cold 'nuff fer ya?" *laugh*

(I have family that lives in Texas!)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I was particularly fond of the last one--remember in high school? Our superintendent was from Minnesota, so three feet of snow? Pfft! They can make it! Five feet of snow? Oh, all right...two hours late start...

^_______^

I see your Sokka icon, and raise it with one of my own!

[kaitodoushi.livejournal.com]

Actually, it was even worse. Dr. Williams was from Montana, not Minnesota XP.

Oh yeah? Well take this one! XD

[ytak.livejournal.com]

And laughing at all the people who say 40 is cold.

(where? I live in the Houston area)
