Desperate Times
Stranded in a hotel in an African war zone with no internet access for two weeks, I was forced to resort to desperate measures. Possessing only my passport and the clothes I stood up in; and the warning "You can catch it shaking hands with a vicar out there" ringing in my ears, I had to draw my own porn in order to preserve my sanity.
Alas, it all came out looking like Coronation Street's Audrey Roberts, but, as they say, any port in a storm.
What have you done in times of great desperation?

It tingles...
When you go for a piss in extreme cold and it freezes the second it his open air...
Now that my grumbling has subsided...
snow does not burn you are correct (which, sadly... is more than most people can figure out)
Penguins are not arsonists, however they are sneaky, and incredibly entertaining little bastards.
Santa lives on the opposide end of the earth, as do Polar bears... therefore all jokes involving either are null and void.
Yes people really live here, all working science grants or work contracts up to 14 months at a time.
No, I have never been committed.
Well, that covers all the standard Antarctica questions... so any new ones will be a welcome distraction.
I repeat...I have never been committed.
As for my need here... I am at the largest station on the continent, with over 100 structures and lots of science projects going on. hence, like any other town, they have a fire department...so here I am.
