sNOw-more Stupid Snow Cliches!

Snow-pocalypse. Snow-bomination. Snow-fucking more.

It's amazing, how quickly one can go from enjoying the snow to feeling cooped up and stir crazy. Years ago, a rather famous Stanford experiment put ordinary citizens in the roles of prisoners and prison guards - and the researchers were stunned how quickly the environment changed people.

This is all, of course, the preamble, to a Boy Toy post. (The Mistress having retired early on account of a freak bobsledding accident, where her fur wrap got caught in the runners. She'll be fine by morning.)

As you can see, it snowed:


And while it only started last evening, we managed to pick up a decent 15 inches or so. (Or, as The Mistress used to call it back prior to her domestication, "a good Saturday night.") Downtown Philadelphia received 27-28 inches, the second most EVER for a winter storm. ("A good weekend", I hear, called softly from her chambers.)

We had prepared for this. Yours truly was all ready for the snow, stopping by the Dollar Tree last night to get some terrific snowdragqueen accessories. Forecasters predicted wet, heavy snow - perfect for snowball fights, snowman making, and tailpipe stuffing. (It's a joke, kids.)

Buster had already staked out his territory, having been traumatized by the morning walk in snow that was over his head:


But, alas, the snow was not heavy or wet. So the $1 hair extensions, purple purses, and knit scarves, had to go by the wayside. And The Mistress and her Boy Toy had to find (ahem) some other way to amuse themselves:


We tried different personalities for a while:


I mean, really, 21 hours in a confined space? So we went for broke - a lengthy neighborhood walk/stagger/try to stand upright on ice. And it was beautiful:




There was even time for blasphemy:


Immediately thereafter, The Mistress fell down the snow-covered stairs. I shit you not. Bobsled mishap, blah, blah, running home, hot chocolate with booze. I started humming "California Dreamin'" for a bit...but you know where that thinking leads.



Gross.

  3. BT- It has been a while. You two must have had to much time on your hands, but a fun time. Mistress your adorable! Is the Mistress even coherent? It must have been the gin that made her take a spill down the steps! I'm over the snow now. We had about 30" downtown Philly with more now possibly tuesday into Wednesday!
