So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
Unacceptable. [EDIT]

It's only 10:00 and already it's hot as balls outside.

Today, it will reach into the mid-to-upper-90s. Tomorrow, it may reach past the century mark.

And on top of all that uncomfortable-ness...the allergen counts are very, very high.

FUCK LATE SPRING. Bring back autumn and winter!

EDIT: I was just thinking about the expression "hot as balls." If we're talking about temperature, the more apt expression should be "cold as balls," since the scrotum is designed to hang away from the body in order to create a more hospitable environment for rearing sperm. Though--and I'm sure I'm in the minority here--some balls are indeed hot. But not in that way.

I am jealous! It went from 77 or so on saturday to 50 on sun/mon. WTF. Come back spring!

As far as "hot as balls", i remember once I managed to lean over a friend's then-boyfriend, and my elbow was in his crotchular area, and whoo it was toasty. That and all of my male friends going on about how sweaty their balls always are... that's what leads me to figure the phrase comes from.

Haha, I remember Dan describing his personal furnace, and how he used it to warm his hands when it was cold. I think balls may be cool-er than what's nearby, but they're still schweaty. Heise und schwul?
Thinking back to my experiences at Rory's baseball party, I'd have to say that balsanga is always served piping hot.
...
And I think that you're definitely in the minority.
