The heat was a HELL this year! D:

IS. Unfortunately, they're calling for more next week, too, where I live. D:

My sweat probably tastes like gatorade at this point. xD

That suck! D: I like summer, really, but I so hate heat wave. >_<

Even it was SO bad that the grass everywhere is turning dry! D: Good thing we got a lot of rain yesterday. <3

Haha.


*Throws a nerf ball at you*

Bad kitty! D:<

*Sprays the hose down at you*

*Enjoys the cold spray and dances*

*throws ice cubes at you too cool you off*

*catches some in his mouth and spits some right down his tank top.*

Mmm! Frost-a-licsious!

*rubs it around under your tank top and down into the front of your pants *

that should cool you off ^_^

My roof has a hole in it! *watches from the attic*

*stands over it* Yeah, we should be able to get this thing fixed up in oh, say, two days. Assuming the weather... what are you gawking at?

*suddenly remembering that he's wearing boxers and loose-fitting jeans*

EEK!

This is why you need a personal man slave, one who will be up there, in a thong, spraying you constantly with a jetstream so violent it can rip concrete walls into dust.

Put that fucker on the chimney-NO! Put him IN the chimney, with goggles, and butterfly wings, so then that way when he spots and ickle of sweat falling down your hot, naked back, he can pop up and spray you the fuck off the roof with a blast that sends you to Japan and right into an air conditioned office, and since it's only him up there, HE has to work on the roof!

It's completely win/win here, and if you crashed into an office full of horny, half naked Japanese chicks, win/win/win, and if they can sprout penis-like tentacles, win/win/win/win! So get your man slave now! Call now at 1-800-LOU-DOBB and for 18 easy payments of $1.87 you can get your own personal man slave NOW!

And yay new art by the Bioxz :D, *Stares at it for five minutes, punches myself in the groin, screams "NOT NOW! WAIT 'TIL I'M ALONE!" and then continues to stare*

xD Unfortunately, contract work like this doesn't allow for the presence of man-slaves on site, unless those man-slaves are also certified by a union rep, after having filled in 10,000 hours of apprenticeship. Fuckin' unions. >.<

And, unfortunately, IF a man-slave is certified, they tend to be kind of cheeky about it. JUST when you want your water break and demand to get sprayed, that's when THEY tell you "Fuck off, limp-dick, I'm on my union-guaranteed fifteen minute break with benefits and dental, too! Also, you can't spray yourself... that's a union job. Touch the hose, and I'll file a grievance. And by "grievance", I mean union thugs will come over to your house late at night, chain you to your bed, tie the bed to the back of their Ford pickup, and drive right through a cactus patch just as the booze they were drinking an hour earlier kicks in."

^^; I think it might be a little less painful to just have the Princess-Clara-Esque Japanese chicks flown over to Canada on a chartered jet fueled by the power of love and justice.

Thanks, though, man! :D Though, by all means, don't mind me. *stares at your from the hole in the roof*

Aw man, that sucks. =(

I hope you manage to keep some of that vacation time to do something better, like... staying as far as possible from the sun and humidity. =D

Thanks for the sympathy, dude. :3

The upshot is that when my vacation is over, I am going to look SO forward to my job, again, in my nice, air-conditioned pharmacie. :D

Don't bake under that sun!

Oh, I won't. I... *Suddenly hears a sizzling sound. Looks around, until he realizes that it's coming from his own arms. Smells them and licks them*

Mmm! I taste just like fresh multi-grain bread! *Notices a hungry crowd gathering below.*

Fuck. D:

lolz

*licks my baking skin* mmm, tastes like chicken! *looks and see a hungry, ravenous Kimahri, Biran, and Yenke standing near me.*

OH, FUCK! D:

Sucks that you have to deal with that type task when the temps are so freakin' unbearable. On the other hand though, seeing you all hot in a wet tank-top .. murr!

Cool drawing, by the way! :3

Thanks! Glad to know my sweltering and suffering is of at least of some pleasurable enjoyment for the peanut gallery down below.

I suffer for my art. Because I love you all so much. *Strikes a fancy pose, and, in doing so, loses balance and falls off the roof.*

Aw man, how hot can it be on Canada? xD

*fries his Canadian bacon against the roof*

Huh? What was that, now? *eats the bacon*

Mmm! Roof-tar flavoured! :D

You're just at the side of the Northern pole... xD

*snickers and pounce huggles while keeping balance on the shingles.* Hi there.

*hides the colored ink filled balloons.*

Augh!!! *Doesn't do too good a job of keeping balance himself and nearly falls off, only managing to hang on to the rain gutter* Youuuuuuuuuu... *shakes fist*

... what's that behind your back?? Those water balloons?! Oh, joy! :D Hit me right in the face!

um sorry. *helps you up.*

Um their colored ink balloons... and as you wish. *drops them on you.*

Fuck its been really hot in Vancouver too... 4 days of deathly temperatures. Why are you wearing a shirt in this pic??? just apply some +40 sun block and show the world those muscles at work^.^

I heard it's been worse over in central Canada... but, aye, four straights days in a row where the temperature was 34-36 degrees, with high humidity and the sun beaming right the frick down on us?? If there's somewhere else in this great land of ours that's getting hit worse than we've been, I think it's time to seriously start asking if Harper's deal with the devil also involves opening a direct portal to hell above us. :P

And, actually, it's funny you should mention that... I DID consider working shirtless the first day... then Tom threw a 100lbs pack of shingles at me, said "Here, try carrying THAT against your bare skin and see what happens" and... well it might be a week or two before my nipple grows back. ^^;

D:

*poured his glass of ice water in your pants*

OOoooooooohhh... :D

Do it again. xD

Ah! Ah! XD Bonne chance pour tes toits, mais ma piscine fournit pus! Est rendue à 90!!!

Malgré la température, tu devrais tout simplement être bien reconnaissant que t’en a une piscine du tout! XD

J’te jure, si on avait une ici, j’aurais fait des cannonballs la dedans a chaque dix minutes en sautant de la toit. :P

Merci, bien, man! ^^

Ouais ça serait trop l'fun de faire un plongeoir sur le toit XD

Makes you feel better, I've been doing outdoor work in the insufferable heat all day too. You'd think southern Alberta could spare one friggin cloud, but nooooooooo, cowtown hogs it all. Sucks though, at least I'm not roofing. Here, have a drink. *passes up a bottle of tequila*

Well yes, thanks, it does make me feel a stitch better to know that I'm not the only person insane enough to be working outdoors in this kind of weather. :P

Thank God temperates have gone down to 27, or I swear, I'd go really nuts and just start shooting a rifle in the direction of the sun in retaliation. xD

So sure! Pass me some tequila, and we'll REALLY see just how well I oprate a nailgun in this heat. :P

You know what, you get tequila when I get a riot shield XD

Just think about the money! Think about the MONEY!! aahgaousghskdghhk!!!

*thinks about it and starts foming at the mouth, too.*

I have no idea if that's just salivation from the heat, or Cintiq-lust, but either way, you, sir, have just heightened my spirits and drive!!!

*goes into SEED mode and starts ripping off the old roof plywood by hand* RAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!

How hot is it? and that sounds like....fun >.>

Last week, it stayed consistently around 34-36 degrees during the day... thank God this week we're down to 27, but with the cloudless sky and the sun bearing down on us, it's still about as much fun as giant monkey balls. :P

I'm guessing that's in Celsius? Down here in Alabami we don't use them new-fangled systems like Celsius. (imagine said in a VERY redneck accent) Anyway, i know how bad it is putting a roof on a house when the sun is bearing down on you. I had to put a roof on my parent's house a few years ago -_-

While I do have to commiserate for the heat wave, the sunburn, the hard work, and the stress on you, I also have to agree that seeing you in a tank top (or shirtless) more than makes up for it. *grins and drools*

Here's hoping all that hard work manages to pay off for you, in muscle as well as money--and if not, well back to the gym then, kitty! *ogles*

Great to see more art from you always. :)

Hee... well, if I can be eye candy for the lot of you, then I can rest easy in that at least SOME good is coming from all this insufferable-ness.

(I mean, ya know, besides making sure that my dad's house doesn't leak anymore.) :P

Pity that the work isn't much of a workout for the abs, but I guess I can just get some crunches done while I wait for this fucking dialup to load a page. xD

Well you are always eye candy, but more never hurts, especially to make up for that awful heat and stress of hard work. ;)

Yes of course, the practical reasons matter too.

*blinks* I thought you were back home and off dial-up. What happened? And yeah, I second the increased exercises for abs--not because I think you need it but because abs are hot. :)

Mmmmmmm...wet and sweaty Bioxz! I once spent my Spring Break with grandma and her broken leg. Who needs pina coladas in Cancun when you can change ice packs and run errands to the grocery store? Is this a part time job? Great low angle, by the way.

Thanks! The perspective thing is a still a little skewed, but I'm gad it turned out so well. :3

This is actually me helping my dad on his roof, since I'm cheap labour. (He's paying me half what he would actually pay a contracted worker... and at MY insistence, no less!! *smacks self in head*)

But hell, Spring Break with granny sounds like it might beat this... and especially if you've got the kind of grandma who has a lifetime's worth of experience mixing drinks and knowing where all the rowdiest clubs in town are xD

HA! No....she's my feminist grandma who talks about how men are constantly ruining the world and if Hillary had been elected president there'd be no more wars...ever. She's also very blunt when it comes to telling you what you're really like. My other grandma is the sweet little milk and cookies grandma who will fatten you up in no time, but she also told me we shouldn't bother sending aid to the earthquake victims in Haiti and she's a bit of a racist.

Hope you get a nice tan, though!

Well, expletive... =\ Sounds worse than having to retake a class...

xD

In class, you are sitting down. And, if you're lucky, you've got air conditioning, as well as a few fans. :P

So long as the subject matter isn't "Most effective means of hitting yourself in the crotch with a monkey wrench", I'd say you're a biiiiiiit better off than I am. :P

Thus, your situation is worse then mine. :P Besides, it's an online class, just to salt the wound.

*cocks the nailgun*

What was that now?? :P

and you're back out there again, be careful kitteh!

well.. you could be Bleeping someone ;p

Man I enjoyed roofing. Trick was to start really damn early so it was cool and the shingles weren’t soft from being baked just yet. I was in the best shape of my life that summer, but man I feel your pain with the heat! Enjoy! I hope you learned alot about roofing for later down the road.

Had it not been for the heat, I actually think the experience would have been quite pleasant, really. I always enjoy a good bit of exercise and getting some fresh air, BUT GOOD GOD, THE HEAT THAT WEEK...

The most important thing I think I learned about roofing that week for later down the road is to, for God sakes, plan for it in the early spring or late summer, if at all possible. :P Thanks! :3
