It's The Most Frustrating Time Of The Year · 1:17am Feb 22nd, 2015
Ah, Winter. The season that starts off with such merry holidays and we get to spend precious time with our loving families, exchanging gifts and sharing the love. And once all that's over it turns into complete horse shit. To share my hatred towards this unholy season, I present to you a special ballad parody of The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
It's the most frustrating time of the year.
There'll be lots of snow shoveling
and people cannot stop shivering
'cause the cold is so sheer.
It's the most frustrating time of the year.
It's the crap-crappiest season of all.
We try to keep smiling,
but the plows keep on piling
the snow in the driveway!
It's the crap-crappiest season of all.
There'll be colds primed for catching
as I'm right here bitching
that we're all out of tissues.
And no one is scoring
When we wake up each morning
preparing to shovel the snow.
It's the most frustrating time of the year.
Frostbite isn't uncommon
and frankly I am done
hiding under my sheets.
It's the most frustrating time of the year.
There'll be colds primed for catching
as I'm right here bitching
that we're all out of tissues.
And no one is scoring
When we wake up each morning
preparing to shovel the snow.
It's the most frustrating time of the year.
Global Warming, by the way,
come shovel my driveway
if you believe that bullshit.
It's the most frustrating time
It's the most frustrating time
It's the most frustrating time
It's the most frustrating time of the year!
It's not Winter's Fucked Up but I'm not one to plagiarize.
... wow. All I'll say is that the summers are getting hotter and the winters are getting colder. Something's up.
2819370 Has anyone ever considered natural climate change?
2819459
Yeah. Climate changes on Earth happen now and again. What appears to be happening may be a highly-accelerated one, with a speed boost courtesy of our pollution.
2820398 Yeah, but something tells me it was going by faster when the ice ages came around too. Where the argument falls apart to me is that the theory was that greenhouse gases are drifting around in the air, absorbing the sun's heat and storing it so the air grows hotter. If that were the case, wouldn't the winters be getting warmer from all that stored heat? These gases do not have different effects based on the time of year. They have the same function all-year-round so that theory, by nature itself, is proven impossible. What it could be is shifts in the Earth's orbit, making it hotter when summer comes around and colder at winter, somehow. It's my own theory and I don't have any more of it to look into.

The Earth's orbit growing more elliptical did cross my mind, yeah. That could be a part of it. I'm not sure about this, but the principle of insulation keeping things both cold and hot seems plausible. You wear lots of layers in the winter to keep you warm, and you wear insulating suits to keep you cool when around hot stuff, like lava or molten metal. Not quite the same, but there might be something to it.
Now, from what I understand, oxygen levels on Earth have been dropping for a long, long, long, long, long time. Back in the Carboniferous Period (which ended around 300 million years ago), O2 levels were high enough to support giant insects and arachnids. Not so much anymore. However, it would appear that CO2 levels have been rising much, much faster than they ever were before. One way or another, this is bad news.

Wait, why do you have winter? I mean, it's not my favourite season or anything either, but.....

Well you see, the Earth orbits around the sun, and along it's orbit the planet changes position so- I'm just kidding I know what you meant. 1: I have absolutely 0 tolerance to cold, so it's annoying just to step outside. 2: I hate shoveling, and when you're me with a knot in your back the size of a baseball, it ain't exactly easy. 3: colds EVERYWHERE!!
2865778 oh yeah I know waht you mean. How cold does it get where you live?
2865859 In the 20s on average, but I'd assume the cold is more familiar to someone in the north. Also doesn't help that I have the cold resistance of my mother who wears a parka in early winter.
2865960 20 what? Fahrenheit?
2865979 yep.
2866040 oh okay I use Celsius so I'll just use a converter....
oh. 20 isn't that cold....
Here it can get to at the lowest -40 (Fahrenheit)
