What do you like about Fall?

[BlackHawkPaul]

Yeah I definitely want a fire-pit at my place one day if I have that ability. For now since I'm in mostly apartment type housing, I'll have to stick with one that has a fireplace, but I've only had one place that does.

I have a gas fireplace in the house, and eventually want to convert it back to wood burning.

 

[LordKOTL]

Yeah, fireplaces, hot chocolate (spiked or not), and s'mores.



Speaking of which, I have to pick up some more copper chloride for the blue flames.

Yeah to me, while gas is so easy and maintenance free... Wood Burning is the way to go. Playing with the fire is half the fun. Gotta find a good poking stick... ::insert your lame jokes here::

 

[LordKOTL]

I got my firekeeping set for Target. Cheap, and works.

I know this sounds weird, but the smell of burning leaves is awesome. The other smell that rocks is a candle burning in a jack-o-lantern.

I agree totally. Burning leaves are the best part of life.

I love that hockey's back, both Sioux and Hawks, and it means the start of my intramural and mens league hockey. However I really could do without the allergies and everything dying. Also means winter is right around the corner, our Fall up here is probably about 3 weeks and then it just gets cold, dark and snowy. We have a saying out at the airport up here "No-Fly November" because the weather blows and we can't fly so that pisses me off too.



Fall to me means time to winterize the apartment, find my long johns, wool socks, gloves, hat, and winter coat. On the bright side the outdoor skating rinks will be open soon, and that makes me a very happy camper.

 

[Bringmepie]

Same here Bri, it's depressing.

Early spring is worse in my opinion; it's dark, rainy and you have all these things that froze to death during the winter laying about and rotting.

 

[Bringmepie]

I hate Fall. Least favorite season of the year (when you only have 4 to pick from though it doesn't say much).



I simply don't like the color of rust.



Bright side is corn is fucking amazing in the fall. Food in general is great in the fall in my opinion. Hockey season starting def a bonus and I do like evenings in the Fall. I like the cool air of fall.

If I'd grown up with those old Canucks "V" jerseys I'd hate fall colors too.

I just googled "why I like fall" and clicked on the first link, so I guess this'll work for me.

Fall Colors – What I like about Autumn

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 1, 2007





I have been feeling that fall is almost here, and this weekend I think it hit. Here are some of my favorite things about fall:



1. Walking through crunchy leaves on the sidewalk. Both the color and the sound are great.



2. The trees turning great colors and the falling leaves as you walk or drive by.



3. Pumpkins on everyone’s front step. Some carved around halloween and then the squirrels cart them off in pirces to be eaten.



4. The decorations on all the houses and all the candy in the office, although too much of both is not a good thing.



5. The temperature out. It’s perfect with a light jacket in Chicago, but not too cold yet.

6. The harvest moon and the indian summer sunset.



7. The beginning of a new Fall TV season and all the Oscar Hopeful Movies that are thinking movies rather than gratuitously stupid entertainment.



8. Leaving the windows open so the cat can enjoy the sounds of the outside for a few weeks before it gets too cold.



9. Getting my pre-thanksgiving tradition of getting all my shopping done, and avoiding the cold and the crowds of the Holidays.



10. Little kids in costumes at Halloween. Big Kids in costumes aren’t as cute.



Have a great Fall.

Fall Colors – What I like about Autumn

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 1, 2007





I have been feeling that fall is almost here, and this weekend I think it hit. Here are some of my favorite things about fall:



1. Walking through crunchy leaves on the sidewalk. Both the color and the sound are great. (Bull shit its the color of life dieing and the sound of leafs crunching is the sound of arthritis...dog shit also glues itself to leafs and they end up on the bottom of your shoe then through your hallway..total garbage!!!)



2. The trees turning great colors and the falling leaves as you walk or drive by. ( WHAT THE **** THAT'S LAME!!! TREES ARE SUPPOSE TO BE GREEN AND BROWN NOT FUCKING ORANGE AND RED..NO ONE EVER SAYS THEY LOVE THE COLORS OF A FOREST WHEN IT'S ON FIRE YET THEY ARE THE SAME FUCKING ORANGE AND YELLOW AND RED TONES!! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!)



3. Pumpkins on everyone’s front step. Some carved around halloween and then the squirrels cart them off in pirces to be eaten. (Squirrels cart them off? What the **** is this numb skull talking about? A squirrel weights an ounce a Pumpkin weighs POUNDS!!! A fucking squirrel doesn't "cart" off shit they can barely carry a peanut!!! Only ones that "cart off pumpkins" are the little shits in the neighborhood dressed as a fucking squirrel..and surprise asshole they aint eating that pumpkin they are throwing it at old ladies front doors!!! I actually don't mind that part but don't be cuteing it up as if mother fucking squirrels are hauling around pumpkins froliking in a giant pumpkin eating orgy of cuteness!!!!



4. The decorations on all the houses and all the candy in the office, although too much of both is not a good thing. AWWWWW tooooo much candy and decorations give you a hard time? FUCKING SELFISH PRICK!!!!! LIFES HARD AIN'T IT ASSHOLE!?!?!?! BESIDES THAT SHIT HAPPENS FOR A BOUT A WEEK, 2 WEEK TOPS!!! THAT'S NOT FUCKING FALL THAT'S CALLED HALLOWEEN ASSHOLE!!!



5. The temperature out. It’s perfect with a light jacket in Chicago, but not too cold yet. Yah I bet late November in Chicago is a fucking lovely breeze!!!



6. The harvest moon and the indian summer sunset. You stole that moon from the rightful owners and the only good harvest moon is the Neil Young song..and even that isn't close to one of his best!!!



7. The beginning of a new Fall TV season and all the Oscar Hopeful Movies that are thinking movies rather than gratuitously stupid entertainment. Listen to you you fucking swarmy pretentious shit!!! Fall also ends some pretty fucking great television shows like Breaking Bad. **** you and your basic cable network television agenda bullshit. The better shows are on specialty channels and they end come fall you dumb ****!!!



8. Leaving the windows open so the cat can enjoy the sounds of the outside for a few weeks before it gets too cold. YES And so you can clearly hear your cat being ran over. WHAT THE ****!!! So your cat can enjoy the sounds of outside? YOUR CAT!?!?!?! Cats could give 2 shits about the sounds outside. Most of the sounds from outsides scare cats shitless. Like the sound of squirrels carting away pumpkins!!!



9. Getting my pre-thanksgiving tradition of getting all my shopping done, and avoiding the cold and the crowds of the Holidays. OH GOD!!! Maybe you should go outside during the Holidays and burn some of the calories you are gaining from your fat Thanksgiving and Christmas fucking gorge fests you fat pig!!!! Crowds are there as an obstacle course so you burn more fucking fat!!!



10. Little kids in costumes at Halloween. Big Kids in costumes aren’t as cute. PERVERT!!!



Have a great Fall. LICK MY BALLS I MISS SUMMER ALREADY!!!

+1 given, great rant.

TCD is just mad that America doesn't let Canadia have fall. It goes straight from spring rains to snow. Little known fact, Vancouver actually blames the NHL for this.

Not the NHL just Bettman

A Vancouver fall is like a Seattle fall is like a Portland fall. Picture 9 months of a Tim Burton vision of London circa 1890. It's not the bright colors of a midwest autumn. It's drizzly, dark, cold, and the wet coldness seeps through most winter jackets.



For this reason I'd like to say that I can sympathize with TCD....



...but I don't.



I abso-fucking-lutely love this type of weather. I love nothing more than hearing some perpetual sunshine and unicorns optimist complain about the fall-to-spring weather here and tell them to ship their glittering carcass back to California where it belongs.

We love our rain in Olympia, WA and the Olympic National Park. Got the only temperate rain forests in the USA, one being a couple of hours from my house.

I can attest to that, I was there in august on my bike, it rained the whole time that we went to the National park.

...and it rains even more in the fall & winter.
