    In HS I dated a girl that worked with me at a supermarket. We did it on our break one time in the freezer in the storeroom where the ice cream is stored before it goes out to the sales floor freezer cabinet.


    It was exciting because we were banging at work, but I'm in no rush to do it again in a freezer (or an ice-sauna). Remember the scene from 'A Christmas Story' with the flagpole? That's what happens when you touch wet things to frozen things. Not good. We basically ended up doing it standing up with her bent over, but she still had to go back to the cash register with her hands all frozen and red.

    @EBone: I've had sex in a very cold pool, and on a metal bench at a tennis court in a public park on a very cold winter night. I imagine an ice sauna wouldn't be much colder and the two cold experiences I've had weren't at all uncomfortable.


    I fail to see how the tounge to a flagpole scenario ties in, however. The only wet parts touching anything are the obvious, and if your saying those will get stuck together I'm going to have to raise my BS flag.


    Now, your skin doesn't have to be very wet to get stuck to ice, but if you don't know that by now and are pressing against a block of ice to hold yourself up, then the red hands are probably well deserved.

    @.king: No, what I meant was that wet things, like say her ass, pressing up against cold things, like say the wall of the refer cabinet, which has freezing conduit behind it, will stick together.


    Your tennis bench will get much warmer just by you sitting on it, where the sides of a refer box are continually having cold applied to them by the freezing conduits, and will stay MUCH colder.

    I am seriously considering quitting gizmodo because I hate the front page format so much. Turns gizmodo into a news site, instead of a blog.

    @dantaylor08: Next to where the gizmodo logo is and the word display, there will be the word "condensed". If you mouse over it, you can select expanded, to return you to the old view. This WAS covered in yesterdays post explaining about the new format. But since it's all a little confusing, I think the Grimace may spare you.

    That snow making system looks like a power sprayer w/ an air compressor hooked to it. Add to that idea I'm not keen about hoping my pipes don't freeze and burst in winter from using the outside faucets.

    Just the other day, I spotted two different snowball presses in a store. One of them sorta looked like the forms that were used to make lead musket balls (nutcracker style construction), and the other looked more like an extension grabber...only without the ability to just snap the form shut from 3' away.

    The best snowballs (most lethal) are made by packing the wet snow in a small ball and left overnight to freeze then covered in a deceptively softer snow layer the nest day. If youre going to play, play to win.
