weather.com

ever since weather.com told us that the day of the pier dance there would be "steady, soaking rain" (how editorial does weather.com really need to be, i ask. i did, however, work this inside joke into my latest column.) scott and i have been throwing around jokes about ridiculous headlines involving the weather. specifically about how they've been covering our latest heat wave. in an email yesterday, scott said:

I wonder what the weather writers came up with
today considering I looked at accuweather this morning
and there was a graphic of a thermometer bursting...it
said 99 degrees but "realfeel" is 112. Maybe
"death-inducing, molten-lava-like, heat"?

the answer is on the cover of today's am new york:

"SCORCHING: Temps soar and it's only going to get worse today"

and, from Page 3:

"Crazy heat won't retreat!"

whereas weather.com just says:

"GET THE FUCK INDOORS YOU CRAZY FUCKING ASSHOLES. WHAT, DO YOU WANNA DIE OR SOMETHING?"

"too hot to top..."

"you might be a sweaty bottom if..."

"your pits stink, and so do mine..."

"don't you feel like a pony when you sweat?"

those are just a few off my top ten list...
