Crabs were tasty and it's been a beautiful day here.

How hot is hot?

Do you remember “Leinengen Vs. The Ants”? I think Ed's played it before. Kinda freaky.

We’ve heard “Leinengen Vs. The Ants” a few times now. Bill Conrad is a bad-ass in it.

Our heat is a humid heat, so when it’s 90 to 95 with anywhere from an average of 60 to 90 percent humidity, it’s a real booger to work out in it.

Back where I come from in Texas, we’re used to 100 to 110 degrees, but the humidity is usually very low. Makes a difference, but it’s still hot.

I'd sooner blind a horse than lay a hand on a woman.

What a line!

We don't stay cool. We just drink lots of water and tough it out till the evening when we can take a shower and have a cold beer. :-)

There's been a few good lines tonight. I like the ending of JD which was along the lines of...

Woman: Johnny...

JD: Oh shut up.
