Spirit on Ice

The other day I put a slice of cheese on the counter of my 5th floor apartment and it melted. Too hot to be amazed, I realized that something had to be done to restore the fun in sweltering heatsville.

Just like pimpin', beating the heat ain't easy. But because we're the SOF, we didn't want to let you down...

1. SLIPE AND SLIDE!!!!
You'll need land and a working hose for this one (which most of us JCers don't have and a slip and slide off the side of the roof is a bit kamikaze for our taste). Still, Slip and Slides have come a long way since our youth as demonstrated by the offerings of this fun site.

There's the spiderman variety:


Or the no holds barred mega slide:



TIP from a S&S Insider: Stringing several together or positioning the slide to face down hill are some DIY slip and slide enhancing options.



2. SIT IN A TUB OF ICE!!!
Talk is cheap. So is ICE! And it's not just for drinks anymore. Fill your tub with these magical cubes and take a load off!



3. MARCO! POLO!
No...not this guy:

The fun game where bumping into walls with your eyes closed is oh-so-novel.

For those without pool access (this would be most of us), I recommend playing Marco Polo at the mall. Watch out for that escalator!!!

4. FAN-TACIZE!

Surround yourself with good friends and even better fans. Safety Central has a ton of hand spritzing fans that are oh-so-sexy (apparently)...

...or try a keychain fan for on-the-go cooling action.

Love,
The SOF (the vessel that knows you're cool AND hot)
