How can anyone chill in front of a fire? <!--emo&:huh:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/huh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='huh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[Richard K Niner]

Maybe we're being asked to chill while looking at cute fox kits sitting in front of a fire. Perhaps some sort of mind game to make us feel colder because we want to be in front of the fire too?

[GoldenMercuryDragon]

Its zen! You have to chill by not chilling. <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Same way as you chill when the sun is exploading and your observation station's shields and air-conditioning are on the blink, I suppose.<br><br>Only less extreme.

Feh. Why the smeggery is O&M refusing to update for me? I'm still only seeing thursday's strip...<br><br>EDIT: Scratch that. .org works, but .net still believes it's 4 days ago, it seems.

"Try the mirrors" would be a standard response to that.<br><br>I don't know where the mirrors are, however. Except for the one on my wall that's not really useful as a mirror because it has a tiger on it and etched metalic for the majority of the center with only a small one inch or so border round the edge which is useful as a mirror. It's nice and shiny though. Seem to recall I got it from an RSPCA charity shop.<br><br>...I think I just digressed a little there.

[DesertFoxCat]

Isn't there some sort of remote control for that?

[DHLawrence]

The only control switch was on the other side of the rather dangerous engine room--gigantic ventilation propellers spinning with their blades coming right across the catwalk. Not very well planned out, I must say; but then, most "unsinkable" ships have design flaws.<br><br>"You're telling me. I was on another ship once. They said that was unsinkable. I ended up clinging to an iceberg. It wasn't half cold."

Oh, wait. I know how to chill in front of a fire!<br><br>*throws a rutabega into the flames*

I prefer plain water.
