Did you know that in Norse mythology, their idea of hell is unending winter? A hot (and smelly) hell is probably the result of fabulists whose personal experience of summer was hot and horrible.
This seems more like Hell for some northerner to me. For a Floridian it would involve something more like riding a motorcycle nude thru a perpetual swarm of love bugs.
Nah, that’s a Florida heaven, if you’re ever been through 50 years of their God awful summers.By August you’re gone mad with the heat then the hurricane start a’coming.
Well, you know of course that the wor5d ‘Hell’ comes from old Norse ‘Hel’, which was exact;ly was is shown above. The idea of a ‘burning’ place of damnation or afterlife is a Mediterranean one.
My brother and I both agree on this point. when we were kids snow was great. now we’re adults and have to drive to work and shovel it we could do without it.
HEY! THIS ISN’T FUNNY! I’m in my woolies right now here in central Florida. The temperature outside is 44! That’s only 12 degrees above freezing! I’m not going outside today. . .anyway, it’s all the north’s fault: we ALWAYS get the leftovers from their blizzards. ;)
Tried to rent an apartment near a ski area (perfect). The agent said they would rather rent to a man as the renter would have to shovel some snow to get to a vehicle. I was insulted and told the agent that I was perfectly capable of shoveling snow. She then said “yes, but can you throw it over your head” . I decided against that one.
And ya just gotta know that the thing that really irritates all these guys is that the guy in the next trench over keeps throwing his snow into your trench!

Looks like the Packer faithful getting Lambeau ready for their last home game (except that was probably Heaven for them).

Many early concepts of hell is that it is cold and freezing and early depictions of the devil show him as blue (sorry about that Duke fans).

Apparently every depiction Wiley has of hell is a nudist colony, just with different climates.

Wiley just confirmed it! I have always know that there was a special place in Hell for Floridians.

There must be a snowplow lurking around somewhere just waiting for someone to finish (so they think) shoveling.
