Splinter generally karate chops the shit out of things, then walks around with his arms in his sleeves to give off a monk-ish appearance.

That's really odd, karate generally peaks around 30-40.

Splinter's a rat he's probably fifteen years old..

Eff gloves, I'm buying a snow suit.

No, buy a onesie.

Not joking here, you will not believe how unebelievably warm and comfy they are. Best purchase I have made in the past couple of months, by far.

Fuck the cold. When it hits zero I start wearing my toque and gloves. If by chance I forgot them at home and I have to go without I'll live but the wind makes it intolerable for me. Sure, I was born and raised Canadian in rural Ontario but I do not have an affinity for snow or the cold. This stems from the fact that I grew up in a very big and old gas-heated farmhouse. It was too expensive to heat during the day (we conserved the gas by turning it on for a couple hours at night and left the heat completely off the rest of the time) so we to had wear our winter coats indoors for at least 3 months out of the year. On the whole it was an extremely unpleasant experience.

I get along fine with normal gloves. It took me awhile to perfect text messaging while wearing them but I don't find that they significantly reduce my dexterity.

I live in South Carolina (one of the Infinate Layers of the Abyss), it can get cold in December, January, and February, and we might see snow one day a year. It is kind of funny whenever there is the threat of snow, everyone gets panicked and the whole state shuts itself down. When I lived in Northeast Ohio, that was cold. Everything along Lake Erie gets lake effect snow, and we would see a whole bunch of it. Up there, we are talking at least six inches of snow every day and about 25 F, so I would wear a sweater, jeans, a heavy winter coat, gloves, a warm hat, and a scarf, and if it was one of level three disaster area days (six foot snow drifts on the roads), I would wear a thick set of snow pants, not to mention snow boots. In SC the most I wear is a heavy winter coat. My sister was married at the end of December down here, and it was close to 70 F that day. On the band geek note, I played the clarinet as well, and we were marching on the field one football night when Tropical Storm Bertha made its way through Ohio. We had on raincoats, but the rain was coming in sideways, so it was the wettist I ever was in marching band.

That's what she said.

I'm posting from my iPhone, so it was annoying to erase the prior text.

On the topical side I bought gloves for five bucks and water-proof hiking boots for 20% off. Now I'm cool in the cold.

I'll go back to lurking.

So the sky just dumped a bunch of snow on us overnight, which will make going out and doing things much more difficult (we live on a hill, and nobody respects the speed limit in any weather, which makes just pulling out of the driveway a nail-biter). This means I finally have to stop wearing my sandals and put on real shoes for a change. On the bright side, however, I get to bust out some of my favorite winter hats. (I have many, many hats.)

Didn't splinter start learning karate before he got mutated or what?
