Thanks to anyone who can help me with a few new lines for my song-It's Cold Outside-
When the audience goes "how cold is it" I go on a rant. Please help with some new lines-
I'll buy the drinks for the best ones-
Here's what I have so far-
Answer-It's so cold -you don't have to hold your breath to turn blue..
-you get excited whenever you can see bare ground.
-you have to wear spikes on your shoes and you're not a golfer.
-blocks of snow are used as building materials
-the back porch on your house doubles as a freezer
-snowmen are counted in the census.
-you have more miles on your snowblower than your car.
-you get more excited about a trip to Canadian tire than spending quality time with your wife.
-your municipality has a bigger budget for it's Zamboni fleet than it's fire dept.
-when you see a dog pee on a tree and he sticks to it
-when even the squirrels nuts are frozen

It's so cold my can of beer is stuck to my tongue ....
It's so cold my double double is an ice cap..
It's so cold I brought my beer in from the garage (Rharv said that I think)
It's so the tree's sap is snappin' (If you ever lived north of Superior (I did for 12 years) this happens and about scares the crap out of you for the first few months)
It's so cold I had to leave the car running overnight...(another Northern Ontario thing, we kept the trucks running from November to March...never shut them off........)
It's so cold the ice on the two holer seat is stuck to my ........(happened to me...)
It's so cold we are heating the heating oil... (I had an electric blanket around the kero tank (100 gals) on the side of the house in Cochrane...)
It's so cold my hand-warmer froze shut. (An old handwarmer from the 60's had a charcoal stick inside a metal box like a cigarette box, that had a velour covering, you lit the stick and it burned for 2 hours, if you put in 2 for 4 to 5 hours...very handy when it's -60F)
It's so cold I shot a yellow icicle at a tree...(true story it was -67F that day just south of James Bay)
_______________________________________________________
Thanks for the memories Ed.
I have a heating blanket thing on my side of the bed, I freeze all the time now, and it's not even really cold here.....though we did get 4 feet of snow this week, 6 feet just a few miles north....
I feel like I'm Sam McGee re-incarnated, cremate me, maybe that will warm me up.....
I sure as heck banged the sides out life on the way down the tube.......wish I was at our cabin again, but it's no place for old men....

The ones I've always heard are:
- Colder than a "ho's" heart.
- Colder than a nun's kiss.
(no offense meant here)

"Colder'n' a well diggers *ss in Idaho!" was a favourite expression of a mate of mine from Oklahoma. Nb. he shared this with me during our time in Bible School...

Johm, Quote:
"Colder'n' a well diggers *ss
We had that one too. And "colder than a witches t*t", and of course the brass monkey.
To add in a little confusion, we combined the three phrases into "Colder than a witch diggers brass monkey".

Some old USAF crew metaphors comin' atcha:
*Colder than my ex-wife's heart.
*So cold I found a little transluent bronze ball inside my shorts, but when I went to show it to others, it warmed up and there was a "SPROONT" sound followed by a disagreeable odor - and the little bronze ball disappeared.
*Colder than the commander's heart.
*So cold that the penguins came knockin'...
*Cold enough to turn the beer to whiskey. (This one is actually true, Thule, Greenland, you could set the beer outside the door and in a few minutes pour off just the alcohol as the water conent had frozen solid. Cheap buzz.)
Those are the only ones that might make it in mixed company...

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
