on being a man, and snow.
Posted by Mik on | July 1, 2007
There’s nothing like a bit of DIY mechanics to get your manliness back in order. I’m preparing for a trip to the snow so today I’ve changed the coolant and oil in my car. There was probably nothing wrong with the original coolant or oil but it’s better to be safe than sorry. I chose “Anti Freeze / Anti Boil” coolant so the sub-zero temperatures won’t crack my motor as well as 10-30W low viscosity oil as it won’t “stick” as much as regular oil. Hopefully this will mean after a week in the snow that I’ll be able to jump in my car and it’ll start without a hitch. That’s the theory at least. I’ve never seen snow, well I have, but it was in England and France and I was 1yrs old, so I don’t remember it.
Thing’s I’m going to do in the snow (in no particular order):
- Eat it
- Piss on it (Will my torrent freeze instantly? What should I write?)
- Make a rude snowman
- Make a Snow Angel
- Ski it
- Toboggan it
- Maybe Snowboard it
- Shoot it (with my camera)
- Throw it at my sister
- Take some home in a jar.
- Make an igloo
Any further advice should be listed in the comments. Thanksyou.

1. Careful which bits of snow you eat because of point #2.
2. Snow angels are fun but you will need a good dump of powder if you want to make a good one.
3. Make sure you got snow chains for your car.
4. Remember to pull your windscreen wipers away from the windscreen when you park or they will stick to the windscreen
5. Toboggans suck. Give it a go but it won’t be long until you reach the same conclusion
6. Get a ski lesson and it will save you a bucket load of time and frustration.
7. Don’t go too hard with the booze. Get as much sking in as you can.
8. Runs marked with a black diamond are for newbies so best you stick to them for the first day or so.
9. Looking at a snow gum drenched in snow makes you feel good.
10. Remember I have rode by bike up there, which means I am tuff as.

When you piss in the snow, my suggestion is you write “hot” and then take a photo. I look forward to seeing it on flickr.
Good luck with the Igloo.

Go into a sauna for a while. then run out naked and jump into the snow. Apparently it works wonders for your body.
*note will also cause your penis to disappear inside your body for a short period of time.
