frankensteam.wordpress.com — As if it were ripped straight from the front page of a supermarket tabloid, this morning’s satellite image shows what we’ve all been thinking: namely, there must be some exceptional reason it’s so damn hot in Texas and now we know.

    IT'S HOT!
  • nathanwalker, on 07/16/2009, -5/+67This Texas died and went to hell.
    Satan greeted him, saying "You are to work for eternity in this Field of Fire."
    The Texan went to work. Didn't break a sweat. This frustrated Satan. "Why aren't you sweating?!"
    "Well, " said the Texan, "I'm used to working in hotter temperatures than this. This is normal for me."
    Satan then turned up the flames. "How do you like it now?!"
    "Oh now it's about summer time." This frustrated Satan. So he froze it over.
    The Texan started jumping up and down, excited. "Now what?" said Satan.
    "The Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl!!"

  • uberbeast1054, on 07/16/2009, -2/+45I see a sailboat.....
  • fuzzyllama, on 07/16/2009, -1/+44I always suspected that southern Arizona was a gateway to hell.
  • Slamboni, on 07/16/2009, -2/+38In Austin its been in the hundys for like 2 months. It's oppressive. You step outside and God slaps you on the forehead and says 'no'.
  • Foenetik, on 07/16/2009, -1/+32meh. it's only 102 outside right now.
  • Slamboni, on 07/16/2009, -3/+34George W. Bush is not and never will be from Texas. He's a Northeasterner. Check the Sperry Topsiders.
  • EvilJelloMan, on 07/16/2009, -3/+31No, *****, the clouds look like a skull breathing fire onto the state, especially in the color-changed version.
  • Foenetik, on 07/16/2009, -0/+24it's so hot I sweat when I swim.
  • darknecross, on 07/16/2009, -0/+23It's a Schooner
  • SupaFlyTNT, on 07/16/2009, -0/+23You know what? There is no easter bunny.
  • bradleyland, on 07/16/2009, -0/+22Jesus. Even after you told me it took like 30 seconds to see it. Diagnosis: severe right-brain atrophy.
  • inactive, on 07/16/2009, -1/+23You're totally missing the point.
  • inactive, on 07/16/2009, -1/+22Tom Tucker: Let's go to Ollie Williams for the report on conditions in Texas.

    Ollie: IT'S HOT!

    Tom Tucker: Thanks, Ollie.
  • MeLikeyTacos, on 07/16/2009, -3/+23Eh, it's been hotter than this...especially back around 1999-2000.
  • scarolan, on 07/16/2009, -0/+20I'm in Austin, lately we live like the Morlocks from the Time Machine. Stay underground or inside all day, come out and lurk at night.
  • BasicallyAcidiC, on 07/16/2009, -1/+18HOW HOT IS IT
  • assuage, on 07/16/2009, -2/+19I used to laugh at Texas for executing so many people so quickly & often, but now that I live here I realize that Texas simply has an inordinately large number of people who deserve to be executed...
  • l034me, on 07/16/2009, -0/+16or the summer of 1980...ugh
  • inactive, on 07/16/2009, -1/+16How hard is it to see the fire breathing skull on the west side of texas
  • b0bbyw1se, on 07/16/2009, -1/+16They don't teach creationism in our public schools. Although, it is a big state and I wouldn't be surprised if there were a small town somewhere that did.
  • twiztidsinz, on 07/16/2009, -0/+14Looks like a skull.. The teeth/jaw are pretty clearly 'defined'.
    But this is no different than seeing Jesus in toast.

    Where I use to live, there was a jester in the woodgrain in the bathroom...
    I was the only one who could make it out after repeatedly pointing it out.
  • jdames1980, on 07/16/2009, -2/+16And the left will say it is justice for Texas denying global warming.
  • glasnostic, on 07/16/2009, -1/+15im smack in the middle of it.. sucks ass
  • notruth, on 07/16/2009, -1/+15Dern tootin' IT IS BURNIN'.
  • ageedoy, on 07/16/2009, -0/+14Highs of 99°F and lows of 77°F with currently clear conditions, winds south at 9 mph at 31% humidity.
  • EvilJelloMan, on 07/16/2009, -1/+15You dumb bastard...
  • amiller011, on 07/16/2009, -0/+13took me awhile but its clear as day now...we are all doomed
  • simpleid, on 07/16/2009, -0/+13VEGETA, WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE IN TEXAS?
  • skintigh, on 07/16/2009, -0/+12So hot I saw a guy in orange robes just burst into flames, it's damn hot!
  • pathouston22, on 07/16/2009, -0/+12Heat index in much of June was 104-108 here in Houston. Not a record, but close. It really has been a summer of hell.
  • moonglaive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+12Same here. There's almost no reason to go outside between 10 am and 6 pm. I'm starting to miss the tropical storms.
  • pathouston22, on 07/16/2009, -0/+11Very nice.
  • zerinS4, on 07/16/2009, -0/+11All I know is that I'm going through Gold Bond at a record pace here in Houston this summer.
  • xcomputerman, on 07/16/2009, -0/+11This year's heat is just really bad. I went on a trip a couple of weeks ago, came back five days later and found a huge brown patch on my front lawn. I was lamenting the devastation until a friend came by and marvelled at how green my lawn was.
  • elemenopeequeue, on 07/16/2009, -1/+12well, i hate to tell you, it's totally worth it on every level.
  • RatatRatR, on 07/16/2009, -0/+10I had to come to the comments to see what I was supposed to be seeing.
  • dysphonix, on 07/16/2009, -15/+24Maybe it's 'God's' way of punishing Texas for teaching creationism in its public schools...
  • Moralogic, on 07/16/2009, -2/+11It is so hot, the gays are not the only ones that are flaming.
  • REEKOHTOWN, on 07/16/2009, -2/+11another one huh? Well, ***** you too!
  • TastyBiscuit, on 07/16/2009, -0/+9IT'S OVER 100!!!!
  • inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+9Come on, Mexico is not that bad.
  • manlyman, on 07/16/2009, -7/+16W. must be back in town.
  • thenameisfinger, on 07/16/2009, -0/+8The people saying it's normal are very mistaken. I've lived in this state for 24 years, so I have come to expect summer heat. But I certainl don't remember a time when so many record highs were set in a single 30-day period. Pull up weather.com's 10 day forecast for Austin, New Braunfels, or San Antonio. It's far from normal.
  • asgardshill, on 07/16/2009, -0/+8You have to feed ice to the chickens so they won't lay hard-boiled eggs.

    The cows are giving evaporated milk.

    I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking.

    The corn pops while the farmers plow the fields. The farmer's mule looked up and thought it was snowing, so he laid down and froze to death.

    They have to dip the catfish for ticks.

    I saw 2 fire hydrants fighting over a dog.

    The birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground.

    The trees are whistling for the dogs.
  • notruth, on 07/16/2009, -0/+8Basically, yeah.
  • notruth, on 07/16/2009, -4/+12So because of a few ***** on office the whole state suffers?

    Oh wait.. yeah that is how it works.
  • Kyp0, on 07/16/2009, -0/+8Ya, but you've got SCHLITTERBAHN!!!!
  • serif69, on 07/16/2009, -2/+10No bricks have been shat. Seriously, what am I supposed to be seeing here?
