    George,

    This cold shower article left me with more questions than answers.

    How in the hell am I supposed to do what I need to do in the shower in 2 and a half minutes?

    Does this guy do anything besides count while he’s in the shower?

    What kind of crack is he smoking?

    Ok, reporting back after having taken a hot shower and reading the second article. I have noted a few more things:

    1) what kind of crack am I smoking that I am so awake right now?

    2) the second article says that you can take your regular length hot shower followed by two minutes of cold showering, which makes me feel slightly better.

    3) reading an article about taking a cold shower has just been proven to be as effective as actually taking a cold shower. By me.

      Joe–If it’s good enough to do once a year, in an open body of water, it has to be good enough to do at least once a day for a couple of minutes.

    Me too. Where has she been hiding all this time? As I read the comments I think it is Al and then go back and see the little I and realize it is Ali. Very funny stuff. And this isn’t even a “caption this” day. But I vote Ali the winner for today.

  4. George

    Ali–You can do all your important showering/hygiene skills in the water temperature of your choice. You can then spend 2 or more minutes in the health beneficial, fat slicing, frigid water.

    Or, you can just read about cold showers and comment. Either way is good for me since you will keep me entertained.

    I have actually taken cold showers for a week when overseas, I can attest to that article. I definitely felt a huge difference throughout the day both mentally and physically. )As soon as I came home though I went right back to hot showers because I missed warm water and wasn’t being forced to deal with the cold showers anymore lol)

  6. The only person who should be taking cold showers is Matt. As all of us breeders know the first few months with a newborn can really cut down on “quality time” with the wife.
