Bring It On
By Johnny Roosh
I’m ready.
I have a thirty-year-old snow blower that starts with one pull.
…a half bag of Starbucks.
…two four-wheel-drive cars.
…a shack full of firewood.
…a battery-powered AM radio to listen to Mitch & Ed.
…a scanner to listen to the mayhem.
…a drawer full of Ramen Noodles
….a lovely wife who happens to love shoveling snow (seriously).
…a forty-degree hill; three kids; three sleds.
…and my Christmas shopping is done.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
…as long as it’s gonna be cold it might as well be white.
Enjoy.

Beer? Whisky? Wine? And you call yourself ready! Get thee to the booze store young man.

JRoosh summed up the attractions of Minnesota:
“…as long as it’s gonna be cold it might as well be white.”

No doubt. The weather keeps the riff-raff out.
Present company included.

Beer? Whisky? Wine?
My bad.
Indeed. A ‘fridge full of Stella.
…and a cabinet stocked with E&J, Red Wines, and Glenfiddich.

Yeah, recall two years ago when we didn’t get show until late February. It was just brown, dank and dreary (something something, Angry Clown, something something).
I’m heading out soon to test my new tires.

“”“…as long as it’s gonna be cold it might as well be white.” “”
EXACTLY!
“a scanner to listen to the mayhem.”
Do you have one of those newfangled digital scanners. Ever since most of the Metro switched to digital, my scanner doesn’t pick up much of anything, and I can’t stomach the $500 bill for a new one. Unless you have a lead on a good deal out there!
We are still going downtown for our weekly Rock Bottom Lunch date. But once home, a case of Special Export, a bottle of Windsor, and a Punch cigar. I’m ready enough.

Yes, I have a Pro-96. It works great. I think they stopped selling them though.
You can get the base version for $350.
If you want to buy one that can listen to the Twin Cities digital system, you need an “9600 Baud APCO-25” compatible scanner. I am sure there are plenty of them on eBay.

a case of Special Export
I hope you have a bottle of ibuprophen too.

“…as long as it’s gonna be cold it might as well be white.”
Jesus, clown. What color snow you get where you’re at?
I have a Wrangler in the driveway. Don’t own a shovel.

JRoosh:
How about this one. Nice to see they are finally coming down a bit

That’s what the Windsor is for *laughing*

what the Windsor is for
Worst. Hangover. Ever.

Sorry Flash but that model might not work with the 9600-baud APCO-25 digital system in the Twin Cities.
Most models that do, have “96” in the name i.e. Pro-96, BCD396T, BCD996T, BC-296D, etc.
I posted a question here to get an answer.

Roosh, excellent, Thanks!

Worst. Hangover. Ever.
And the advice from Learned Foot on the other “symptoms” was of no use whatsoever.

“No doubt. The weather keeps the riff-raff out.”
A-Men brother.
Every time we get a spate of real winter, I make sure to call all of the people I know in California and lay it on real thick….”Oh Christ, it’s 40 f*cking below tonight!! And we’re gonna get three feet of snow tonight.”
It’s not that I wouldn’t mind seeing some of the people I left behind, but I’m afraid they’d drag some of their neighbors along…

Honest to God, what is wrong with those people? Well, doesn’t matter, I moved here to be well rid of it.
So join me next summer in extolling the virtues of a California move next time you’re in Highland Park, or Mac Alister-Groveland.

Oh, yeah…you’d love it out there too, Flash. Take the whole family!

Merry Christmas to you, too, Swiftee!
