4laugh domokun Okay, so we have two sides to this here journal; on one side we have the frosty the snowman loving, yeti owning, ice rink skating, hockey stick wielding snow lovers (otherwise known as the blissfully unaware Canadians… hey wait, that’s me… haha.)On the other side we have the swamp monster loving, worm throwing, slug stomping, ditch swimming three-year-old counterparts of the blissfully unaware Canadians. (Well actually, they don’t know it, but genetic experiments were performed on them and we successfully made a clone of each of them. This clone however is stuck at the age of three and shall never age. Hey, we just knocked down two balloons with one dart… We’ve discovered the secret to staying young forever! HA! HA!) Alright, so we always want to know which one’s better; rain or snow, snow or rain? By the end of this here, I will answer that question, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have an angry mob after me too, pitchforks and all. ninja scream domokun stressed
Let us start with the wonderful qualities of both weather-like substances; Snow is good, period. It is white, fluffy like the little white kitten that your mom got you for Christmas, (you know the ones you see on the Charmin bathroom tissue commercial,) but your uncle sat on it one night while drunk. You cried forever, and plotted revenge for hours and hours. The best you came up with was to take all his booze and bury it with your dead cat. Let’s see him drink it then! AHA! It’s also an excellent tool of childhood warfare, no matter how old you are; go to a playground, in fact, go to any front yard after it snows and I swear it’ll be like Vimy Ridge, trenches and all. The only thing missing are the little soldier uniforms. The one difference is that they discovered that arming beavers with snow shovels make for great spies and a boarder defence.
Another excellent reason why snow is better is because you can write your name init, and everyone would know. All they have to do is look for the yellow letters, and then the principal will come up to you and say, “did you write that, and is that paint?” and you would reply, “No sir,” (or ma’am if your principal is a she,) “that isn’t paint. I really had to go, and I wasn’t going to make it to the little boy’s room, so I went there and wrote my name in the process.” That’s when you smile innocently and walk off to class, leaving him/her stunned that you actually told the truth… after all what self respecting teenager would own up to something like that? A Canadian teenager that’s who!
Lastly, it closes school, that evil prison where we are sent for six to seven hours each day to learn and be tortured with mathematical equations and triangles, circles, square roots, radicals, trigonometric word problems, the list goes on and on and it threatens to eat us all…HIDE! (Oh! I forgot snowmen!)
Now, why’s rain better? Well it falls, and it dries up, leaving no mess for you to clean up. It also makes sandboxes infinitely more fun, because you can swim in mud up to your ears, (folks, that is what we call a sandbox of death, if you let your kids play in sandboxes like that, they will pop out looking like the swamp monster, or a very dirty little troll doll… scary…) It provides large swimming pools at the end of your driveway, where all the water goes, the ditches with the drain pipes. I should know… I did that once when I was a kid, with the neighbour across the street… it was fun. My parents were not pleased with me, but that’s how I made my first friend. (*pauses for the ooh’s and awe’s of how cute that is*)
Now to get down to the nitty-gritty, snow is better than rain because of the very reasons I listed above. With the fluffy white heaven that falls each winter, you can make a snow man… and crash into it with your sled, and not break a bone in your petite body. Do you see people making ice balls to form an iceman? Then loosing control of their sled and steering it into that very same iceman? I don’t think so. Want to know why… Because it would be suicide. Snow is soft, and even when compact breaks apart easily enough, unless you compact too much, in which case it could hurt a lot more. Ice (which is frozen rain, just so you know, heh, sweatdrop ) is hard, and would knock you out the moment you went headlong into your creation, hoping it would safe you.
Also, if you want to talk about rain, as rain and not ice, then you’d just be running through a puddle, nothing to stop you from hitting that big oak tree you’re approaching at a velocity equal to that of a speeding car on a 180 mile an hour highway. (Oh that math, it hurts, but I’m sure hitting that tree at that speed will hurt much more.) sweatdrop eek
With snow you can see when someone has relieved themselves, or a dog for that matter. I mean we all know kids like to eat snow, not that it’s good for them, coming from our polluted skies and all. But with rain you can’t tell a damn thing, it’s like trying to spot a green pencil on the green grass in your front yard, (you wouldn’t have that problem if it was covered in snow biggrin )
Zee other reason why snow is better than rain is because of zee snowball making. Snowballs, although they can hurt when thrown hard enough at your head, and can sometimes contain rocks…ok maybe there isn’t so much good about snowballs, perhaps rain is safer, but a lot less fun, because all you can do is go dancing in the rain, (which don’t get me wrong is the best thing in the world. But when you get caught out in the rain, without a jacket, are locked out of the house, and are wearing a white shirt with a very red bra underneath, that was unseen until it got completely soaked and you walked into a store to call your mother, all the while every head of every guy turns to look at you, you become a little biased. sweatdrop ) Plus, how can you make a rain ball, I ask you? Have you ever heard of a rain ball right? I sure haven’t, that’s because you can’t do it! Haha! blaugh
Finally, when it snows, and snows a lot, school is closed…unless zee banes of our snow loving world, the snowploughs and sanding trucks, are out and about before hand. The white wonderland offers a relaxing break and much fun from school, where as rain…well you need buckets and buckets full, and perhaps a washed away road or three and boats to replace the cars on the highway in order for them to close school. blaugh
heart heart heart So I say to you, and I’m completely partial to one side because I’m just like that. (Plus I just plain love the snow, but trust me, I’m impartial to everything else biggrin luffs you all!) Snow is the best, and them sandbox loving fools… They shall feel the wrath of our snowy munitions and angry beavers with their snow shovels. LONG LIVE ZEE SNOW! heart heart heart *runs off to fight in zee snow war to top all snow wars… against her father… she loses miserably, but the beavers chase him around for a good five hours, so that makes everything so much better.*
blaugh xd heart sweatdrop ninja mrgreen mrgreen eek xp
