I fucking hate rain. It makes you wet if you're outside, and it makes the sky all crappy looking, and you can't see very far if it's heavy rain, and it just plain sucks.

At least it's not acid rain.

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

acid rain is sadly devoid of hi-hats

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

"acid rain is sadly devoid of hi-hats"

What the fuck is a hi-hat?

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

It's been raining here all day.

― A Million Talking Hot Dogs (AaronHz), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

It just started raining in San Francisco out of nowhere. I was in Golden Gate Park, and I came up to the Haight-Ashbury and rain just came all of a sudden. Now it's all wet outside. Grrrrr…

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I, fucking, don't hate rain.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

It's been showery here for the past four or five days, and my cat is getting very annoyed and restless.

― caitlin (caitlin), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Is it camp for a man to carry an umbrella?

(it isnt, you know.)

― :|, Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

(of course, it's been showery in the UK for the past 10 or 12 thousand years, pretty much)

― caitlin (caitlin), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a psychiatrist appointment the other day, and because I'd missed the appointment once I couldn't really miss it again. I had to walk to the appointment and back in torrential rain. All the drains started doing that fountain thing they do, and little rivers were flowing everywhere. One section of road was flooded and I had to wade through freezing cold water up to the middle of my shins. My shoes still aren't dry, the packet of tobacco in my pocket was soaked and a book (a birthday present, no less) in my pocket is all swollen and puffy. But for all that, I quite enjoyed it. I like that misty second plane you get a few inched off the ground from all the drops bouncing.

Try holding your mouth open when it's raining. My grandmother says rain is God's water. It still sucks.

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I live in Vancouver. It rains non-stop 364 days a year here. The one day is doesn't rain is very nice, though.

― The TAO that can be Posted is not the TAO! (The Tao that can be Posted is), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't mind the rain. It's just the greyness that comes along with it that gets me.

― The TAO that can be Posted is not the TAO! (The Tao that can be Posted is), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a memory from being a kid, I think I was living in Berlin at the time. There was an acid rain cloud, and the news said you weren't to drink rain water. Of course, they meant people whose water supplies are from rain sources, but I remember sneakily opening my mouth and catching some drops in my mouth, then getting scared.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Rain is brilliant.

― Michael Philip Philip Philip Philip Philip Annoyman (Ferg), Sunday, 17 October 2004 20:49 (twenty-one years ago)

It's brilliantly crappy.

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)

you need rain.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I like rain.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:03 (twenty-one years ago)

True, but usually in San Francisco rain doesn't come until October. It's supposed to be hot now!!

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

?

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

um, it is October dude.

― A Million Talking Hot Dogs (AaronHz), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Oops, I meant it doesn't come until December.

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I fucking hate trains.

― Cathy (Cathy), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I fucking love rain, we haven't had any for months and last night we got a delightful sprinkling.

― papa november (papa november), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

hey, Vancouver had a DRY, HOT, AWFUL summer this year. The rain we're getting now is blissful in comparison. If you're down, just remember all the horrid dry days in August. ick.

A rainy day is the best time to take the dog to the park, because no one else is there. No scared children, no forced small-talk with other dog owners while the dogs play, no namby dogs: a better time for all.

― derrick (derrick), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

The only good thing about rain is that it melts any witches that might be lurking around your neighborhood.

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

...and sugar babies

― papa november (papa november), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, those bastards :)

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

There's actually a story behind the sugar baby thing, however I'm not sure why I mentioned on ilx.

When my grandfather was young he was afraid of going out in the rain. Apparently his mother used to say to him, "What, are you afraid you'll melt like a sugar baby?", hence my cryptic comment.

― papa november (papa november), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

i like rain AND trains. i dislike pain.

― m. (mitchlnw), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

How do you feel about gain?

― Wooden (Wooden), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

terrible terrible spyware.

― papa november (papa november), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Shut up this is starting to sound like Dr. Seuss.

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Sunday, 17 October 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

The rain sucks and I don't have a proper jacket to walk outside with right now.

The weather in Atlanta was better than this. Why did I come back home? (Oh, yeah, I had no choice.)

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 17 October 2004 23:26 (twenty-one years ago)

we are in the middle of a drought. the reservoirs are below 40%, some below 20%. there are going to be severe fires all this coming summer i'm guessing. people will lose their houses, some their lives.

it is pissing down today. hooray!

― bulbs (bulbs), Sunday, 17 October 2004 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

It rained like crazy last night in L.A.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 17 October 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

That had to be acid rain.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 17 October 2004 23:51 (twenty-one years ago)

This isn't a question.

― You've Got to Pick Up Every Stitch (tracerhand), Sunday, 17 October 2004 23:55 (twenty-one years ago)

No.

The sky in LA is the most polluted I've ever seen and I've been to Egypt. Actually, I don't remember the sky being very polluted at all.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 17 October 2004 23:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I second gaz. We need the rain here badly - esp up Sydney way (we've had a bit down here). If we dont get some soon, this seasons bushfires will be some nasty shit like last years (poor Canberra).

So rain = good. Fires bad.

Also, Dante: My grandmother says rain is God's water. Uh... as opposed to the rain thats, like, water?

Hi der.

Why did you change your name to Der Fuhrer? I thought you wanted to be a musician, not a crazy lunatic who wants to rule the world but never will.

― Aja (aja), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Dante The Pianist didn't sound as cool.

I missed you. How's yer mom and dad and school and such? Are you gonna shadow at Sacred Heart?

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:15 (twenty-one years ago)

That had to be acid rain.

Actually, due to weather patterns, acid rain in America is by far most prevalent in the northeast.
http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/acidrain/gifs/fig04.gif

blue is base, red is acidic. There's an old episode of Different Strokes that illustrates this when Kimberly (a Manhattan resident) washes her hair in rain water collected from a bronze bowl. Her hair turns green. Hijinx ensue.

I'm sure you meant your post as a general indictment of Los Angeles air quality. Unfortunately your specific critique is about as valuable as randomly posting "What?"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't know if I'll shadow.

Mom, Dad: not so good, I guess

Me: Applying to Sacred Heart, but my mom is now thinking of sending me to SH of the Convent. I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO AN ALL GIRLS SCHOOL. I will get in so many fights. I'm on October Break.

― Aja (aja), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Please shadow!! For me? Für mir?

Is your dad still in Asia, Aja?

I'm so funny.

Spencer, thanx for that insight.

― Dante, Der Führer (Sean3), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Spence, that's from 92. Things could have changed. Get a more recent map.

That post is as valuable as posting "In 92 there wasn't acidic rain on the west coast, but now, I don't know."

― Aja (aja), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Dante, you're as funny as me not getting my dinner.

I'm affraid if you shadow me my mom will think I want to go to SH just because of you and she might not let me go. Then again, you never know.

― Aja (aja), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Unless the jetstream has changed direction, that map won't either.

this is the most fascinating thread ever.

thank god is started raining in SF, last week I had to find my summer clothes when the temperature hit 80 freakishly. Now I'm back to sweaters. Also, I no longer have to wash the cars. nature has done it for me.

Rain makes me all LE SIGH.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 18 October 2004 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I love rain, and I always want it to rain because it rarely does, but then when it does, I'm all "damn rain!"

I don't get me sometimes.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 18 October 2004 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, well, I take back what I said yesterday, yes, this rain is a bit much.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

It rained like a fucking MOTHERFUCKER last night. The park across the street from my house was a fucking LAKE. I was this close to kayaking it.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

we just moved into a new apartment and our cats are nervous already. but last night it pissed buckets of rain for hours and hours (and still is) and they sat in the hallway and whined ALL FUCKING NIGHT because they are too dumb to understand weather.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

There's is no rain (at the moment), but why does it have to be so freezingly cold? It's not even the end of October...

i hate rain more than anything. second closest hate: super hot weather.

so anyways, wife drives me to work today because i usually walk and it's pouring london-style in the yay area. all of a sudden we get to my work and it stops raining, so i don't even have to walk from the car door to the work door. i'm walking out of the car and looking down and i walk right into a tree branch and i'm completely soaking. face, hair, jacket. fucking hillarious

I like rain if I don't have to go anywhere.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

As we've said on the Lurex in LA thread, it's been raining on and off now since Friday night, and personally I love it. This morning when there was a huge downpour I got my feet wet on the way into work, but aside from that, the sound, the atmosphere, all of it has been a blast. I think a good wet winter will be great for the area, and the amount of sky scrubbing this does to at least temporarily get rid of smog is a treasure.

It's raining right now and thus inspired I'm listening to Tones on Tail -- specifically so I can enjoy "Rain" at the end of the Pop disc.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 October 2004 00:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently if we dont get any major drought breaking rain and lots of it soon, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra will run out of water in 2 years. Thats rather scary.

Fucking love the rain! Not all the time, but 3-4 days a week would be ideal. Clouds too, whether (weather?) they're producing rain, threatening to do so, or merely blocking the sun. (Speaking of which: fuck the sun, btw - only thing that shit's good for is helping plants grow. Bad things it's good for: making me sweat uncontrollably, blinding my vision, burning my skin in summer, and making me sneeze if I'm forced to look at it direct for more than five seconds.)

You can't feel bad for staying indoors on a rainy day but you can when it's sunny, so I'd say rain is classic

― Unchanging Window (Ross), Thursday, 8 June 2017 04:26 (eight years ago)

i love rain, always have. i walked to the grocery store the other day and it was pouring on the way home. there is a back entrance to my apartment that is down some stairs and they were flooded about a foot deep so i had to go around to the front. as a pedestrian you just have to watch out for puddles on the side of the road neath the curb cos a car can zoom over it and splash you and would will be even more drenched. lol but water is cool whatever getting caught in the rain rules.

Go suck a fuck, nature.
