Poll: I hate summer

[IamLEAM1983]

George Carlin put it best: ". . .and in the summer - God help us - they all wanna wear short pants. Jesus, lord, protector of all that is holy, deliver me from fat people in short pants." That's the worst of all. The unrelenting heat from outside I can deal with. Sitting in what feels like wonton soup, I can deal with. The flies and wasps, the blinds can deal with. But the back fat, the ass cracks and the arm tats? Maaaaan, fuck that.

This.

I can stand the heat, the obnoxious return of Faux Latin music and the local cable provider's yearly loss of sanity and its compulsive airing of anything involving surf, beaches or shirtless actors between their twenties and thirties - but God, why do some people think that too-tight khakis and polo shirts qualify as summertime weather? I mean, if it looks like your belt wants to tear you apart at the waist, do yourself a favour and drop the Sedate Golfer look - it's not working out for you! Go Baggy Hawaiian Shirts and Swimming Shorts - you'll look tacky as Hell but you'll at least look like you're not some sort of applicant for clothes-based Saw-esque torture porn!

I can't go 5 minutes without my cat roleplaying pro Genji gameplay because a flying insect got in through the window.

Send animal control.

I love summer if only because the other nine months of the year range from chilly to cold. Five or six of those nine months have snow up to my knees in addition to being cold and in the past few years it hasn't started warming up until we were already getting close to summer. A couple of years ago people were still wearing their winter coats in June.

Summer is my favorite season, and that's saying something as Southern California has been in a state of perpetual spring for years now (spring being the season I hate).

Granted, forest fires and triple digit heat waves aren't fun, but there is so much to do during summer that I can deal with that. There's swimming, playing sports, hiking, bicycling, running, going to the beach, long days, warm weather, a lot of delicious food and drinks to enjoy, wearing shorts, and appreciating the female figure.

I wish that our seasons weren't as f'ed up as they have become, but as long as we have plenty of sunlight and heat during the summer months, I'm okay with that.
