Ice skiing behind a souped-up Zamboni. Wear a bikini or swim trunks, of course.

Multi Back in the late sixties and early seventies, when women always seemed to 'forget' their foundation garments. My friend and I (seventh graders) would hang out in the frozen food section at Dillons... Thought I was the only one who thought about doing that... Talk about perks!!!

A refreshing ice-cold colonic.

I almost had an eye poked out by one of those perks a few years back. Been working on a repeat every since.

dealing with the heat? Merrill recommends: skinny dipping, even in town; nude gardening, though its hard to hoe straight; nude biking, but you'd better watch your undercarriage; and living in caves to be more green, so simple even a caveman can do it!
me, an attitude problem goes a long way ...

dress in skimpy blouses because of the heat. He told me that and I wanted to smack him, but what could I say? He's a single American male, and his job has perks.
---seems like a poster on here has said that most men are pigs anyway.

I think I'll go to the grocery store right after work and head to the frozen section.

I have MS and recently bought a cooling vest. I think its going to help a lot if I have to go out in the heat for long.

The heat just got LeBron. I doubt that anyone will beat them this next year too often.
CWGOKU 2 years, 10 months ago
Good one, dang, wish I had thought of that one.

I can't believe no one has mentioned a cool and fruity treat on a hot summer day.

I just turn my oven to 25 degrees and leave it open
beatrice 2 years, 10 months ago
We are going to hit 115 today here in Phoenix, and it is cloudy and humid. That is 25 degrees warmer than in Lawrence right now. Yikes. One can't beat heat like this, one can only endure it.
