Well well well, who would have guessed! I made the mistake of, in passing, mentioning to someone that I am tired of all the unusual massive amounts of snow and ice (click here to see my comment on how tired I am of winter... or you could just look below this post to the previous post... it's a lot more fun to just click on this impossibly long highlighted link though). I was reminded lickity split by this never-to-be-out-done-person that I didn't have it as bad as they did where they live... nor as bad as Alaska, Minnesota, Canada, the Northern Eastern Andean Cordillera Andes, or Antarctica. Wow, you got me there. I mean what can I say, you're right. I didn't get the memo there was a "who has it worse contest" going on! I'm always the last one to find out about these things. Here all along I thought I was just innocently complaining about the weather and come to find out I had issued a challenge! 
Hmmm. I decided to cut short the cheery little convo we were seeming to have and gracefully excuse myself. As I feigned hunger and a need to depart to find something to eat, I was stopped short once again. Obviously I inadvertently opened yet another can of irrefutable worms. "You think you're hungry?! Well by Flibber Majibet, you can't be as hungry as the mentally unstable homeless man on that corner back there, a young model, a wrestler trying to make weight, or as hungry as the Sudanese Orphans!!!" Man! Got me again - especially that last one! Whew! I decided to cry defeat and just remove myself as quietly as possible. With an infinitesimal nod of my head (I didn't want to call attention to any other "issue") I handed over the imaginary trophy he had been fighting me for and fled.
