We all remember what happened last time there was lousy Smarch weather...

Homer accidentally turned up the thermostat causing Groundskeeper Willy to turn into an homage to everyone's favourite neighborhood bad guy (Freddy Krueger) and Katie, Wayne, Sarah and I invented a horrible girlie drink called "The Tool Belt" out of scraps of booze from my liquor cabinet. It made me vomit.


You can watch the Simpsons episode referenced above at the link below (in Russian at minute 6:35). I wonder how you say "lousy Smarch weather" in Russian? Fortunately, there's no video footage of me getting re-acquainted with my Tool Belt.

PS - for more entertainment in the realm of random, check out the google images results for "Lousy Smarch Weather". It's been a while since I've seen such a specific query return such random results.
Sean - let us know if you need any help digging out. We'll mail you a tool belt.
