While most of the northern hemisphere shivers, Cape Town boils.
It’s hot. Seriously hot. Also, it’s hot.
I’m pretty sure the reports of spontaneous human combustion are exaggerated, but if you look at my flat on Google street view, all you can see is heat haze. At least the local zombies are happy. Apparently slow-roasted brain is something of a delicacy in the undead community.
Did I mention that it’s hot?

What’s the temperature on top of Table Mountain? It might be the perfect place for a picnic and a game of skittles.

I’d send you a cool stare if it wasn’t a mean thing to do. It is warm down here in Sydney too but probably not as hot as the hopeful Cape.

That’s kind of you. It turns out that cold shoulders don’t work so well either.

Possibly. On the other hand, maybe Jebus is applying spaghetti logic to the problem.

Is it hot? It’s implied, I suppose. But I’m usually more of a literal reader.

Ya know, this is the second SA post I read today complaining about the intense heat. Jaysus, you people kill me. It snowed most of the day in Manhattan. Big, soft, floaty, pretty flakes. The city looked like a giant snow globe. Hard to imagine heat.

What? I wasn’t the first? Imagine that!

I almost argued about zombie’s preferred temperature. Then I realized I’m just making stuff up – my expertise is actually in lake monsters.

Does that include zombie lake monsters?

Got any pictures of kids (or adults) cooling off in the spray of open fire hydrants? That’s an old stand by. Or, how about frying an egg on the sidewalk? No?
Extreme heat makes people do odd (and extreme) things.
Revel in the mental image of the 15 to 20 cm of snow we are receiving this weekend to cool you off. Our temps are forecast to head down to lows of -30 C in the next few days.

I’d much rather be cold than super hot. So sorry. I’d send you some ice cubes but if cold shoulders and cold stares don’t work…

Oh, but you *are* super hot. At least, that’s what the ad for Adam’s new pay-per-view site http://www.robinintheshower.com says.

Are you sure it’s not your new relationship that is causing the heat?

An interesting hypothesis. How would one test that, though?

I will say to you what I just said to a friend in Australia – those of us who are mired in snow have no pity for those of you who are living in summer.

I will swop you one day of your hot weather for all the rain we’re having here in Jhb. But only one day mind you and preferably BEFORE I go back to work this year. I have forgotten what sunshine feels like.

ALL the rain? That’s very generous of you, but where would I put it?

I blame it all on the modern world’s lack of respect for the Invisible Pink Unicorn (may her hooves never be shod). That is the true cause of Global Warming.
