Nice and warm there too. I looove the hot weather, and anyone who bitches about it is a wuss.
The best thing to do is quit your job and spend all your time hanging out at a favourite tree-shaded spot by a deep pool of a crystal-clear creek up in the mountains. Take a notebook computer, good things to eat and drink, and a sexy companion or two, and you’ll be in heaven no matter how hard the sun may beat down. Every summer I wish with all my heart that I could do this, and hope I’ll have the chance to do so before I get too old to enjoy it to the full.
Keeping cool? For me it’s simply keeping a whole lot of water on hand all the time. I actually like hot weather, being from SoCal and all. I worship it. 
I’ll be stopping off for a pint or two of Murphy’s at Bobwundaye on my way home from work at 8 tonight. I’ll test your theory, but I have a sneaking suspicion we’ll be out of synch on this one, Stragbasher. 
A victim of advertising. Brainwashed by seeing too many images on TV of people pretending to be cooled by beer. Beer doesn’t make you cool, it makes you fat.
Bacardi, on the other hand, makes you into a stunningly witty conversationalist who is invincible and also irresistable to to women. I speak from experience.
Gentlemen who live in hot climates drink Gin and Tonic.
Listen buster, I may not be cool but I’m certainly not … oh, never mind. 
That’s the most ridiculous statement I’ve seen posted here in quite a long time.

Buy alot of Mach 3 blades. Shave yer head. Buy alot of bandanas. Fashion them to your gleaming pate as fashion so dictates. Soak with cool water as needed.
oh…and drink bacardi…apparently girls will want to…erm…touch it. 
What’s with this software, it just turned my Shakespearean synonym for head into a street name…doh… :raspberry:
To be fair, the Ba De is classical chinese literature, so maybe there is some cosmic-cyber-kinetic thingy going on here after all…if so…wow…cool software Gus. 
fight fire with fire i say…drink hot tea (makes u sweat thus cools the body) take hot baths…ditto…and think fans not aircon; aircons cheating…oh and live next to a private pool like i do
I’ve never understand the logic of that argument. “I’m hot, so I’ll make myself hotter so that I sweat.” If you’re not sweating already then you’re not too hot.
Rub an ice cube on your forearms. There’s a lot of blood close to the skin there, which gets cooled before it carries on around your body to cool the rest of you down. Actually, you can use a cold beer for this, without having to open it. Then put it back in the fridge. No need to drink the disgusting stuff.
Find a lover who doesn’t mind going on top so you don’t have to work too hard. Ideally, have one of your other lovers kneel next to you with the fan as described in a previous post.

Might try that ice cube thing.
Hot liquids rehydrate the body faster than cold ones. That’s why they drink hot mint tea in Morocco. Still, it’s always tempting to have a cold drink instead. In the summer, I manage to drink hot drinks – tea, herb tea – about half the time, and the other half I succumb and get something cold from the shop.
For people who are interested in such things, infusions made from the herb called “qingcao” are supposed to be very good for cooling internal heat.
Bear64’s other suggestion of hot baths seems a bit doubtful to me. I haven’t heard anyone else ever say that hot baths cool you down.
yeah but serial…after you almost pass out from the heat of the bath and are lying on your bed you’ll sweat like a mother for 10 minutes and then you’ll feel real cool for about 15…and then you’ll get hot and sticky again so you’ll need to repeat the whole exercise…
You can also run cold water over your wrists for the same effect. It works very well…
to piggyback on the hot shower thing… my girlfriend, who is Taiwanese, continues to take steaming hot showers all through summer, whereas i, start taking cold showers from now to about october. i’ve noticed that she never sweats in the summer and would be perfectly content without the use of air conditioning. i, on the other hand, begin sweating the moment i wake up… i hate summer in Taipei.
I’ve noticed that people carrying around a bit of fat sweat much more. I try to tone up and also exercise a lot, and can resist the heat much more easily. Also, eat fruits and less meat. The summer’s great, swimming, beaches, ice cream, good views.
And lay off the strenuous, slip-slapping, squelchy, slathering, sweaty sex, of course.
Omni, the heat can’t be getting to you already? Perhaps the breeze from that flapping Uinion Jack of yours will cool you down enough to allow you to engage in your favorite pastime.
:boo-hoo:
Just go outisde and have a holiday on the high place,e.g.,mountain
Or drink a lot of water~~
Keep the windows and door open, make the air flow…
if you turn on the air-conditioner, have a bucket of water in your room
(for fear of making skin dry)
then you can have a cool summer!!
