Will Iceman Have the Will?
My current sitch is that I have no heat in my truck, nor the will/cash/credit to fix it.
The question is... Will Iceman have the will to make it throught the MN winter while maintaining the Will not to fix the heat in his truck?

The will to do nothing and freezing cold. What about the windows icing up? YOu could get a hair dryer that plugs into the lighter. I know you won't be sitting in your truck drinking COlt 45 and listening to NPR. Can you make it to APril? I don't know. EIther way 100 points is to be awarded.
i survived a year plus in PR with no AC, but i drink warm beer. maintain standard operating procedure...keep traveler next to nuts...sin koozie
Important question: what exactly is wrong with the heat sitch?
In response to pollo, one can easily survive high heat without ac(and while drinking warm beer) while sitting in minus zero weather without heat will result in a frozen ass and a frozen beer. One needs to drink Stoli or some other high test bev that won't freeze.
I know not what is wrong with the heater. It would require Will + 99 dollar diagnostics fee to find out. I can tell you that it does not work. That's about it.
I wear a 1940's storm coat that was my grandpa's. So far there has been warm enough air to keep the front windshield from frosting up.
Frozen beer is coming close to becoming an ish. The time is almost upon me where I will need to store beer in my bunker, which I keep heated at 60 degrees.
I told iceman to put a wood burning stove in the passenger seat and vent it out the side window, but I like the hair dryer idea too.
Most likely it is a simple fix, requiring a small and cheap part. The fan works. Though, I think Ice is too thrifty and completely un-inclined to bother trying to fix it. However, he does have a VERY handy father and if he can freeze balls and get to Hutch then he may get lucky and his dad can get a part at Napa and put it in free of charge or for all the beer he can drink which would be a copious amount and then his mom would make dinner and talk incessantly about the ice fishing trip and other things of less import leaving Iceman confounded frustrated and bored and likely $60+ in the hole (gas, napa heater part and beer) plus the effort involved in the journey, and leaving one to wonder what it's all about and maybe it would have been simpler to just pay the diagnostic fee or to freeze balls.
The question really is, at what price do we place our comfort?
This really is a tough one and with the beer freezing and the nuts numb along with the fact that it is only early December and the winter here is LOOOONG, one has to ponder the logic behind his thriftiness.
The will to do nothing is another matter entirely, and one likely to be addressed thoroughly in mid to late January.
We've got ourselves a conundrum, and yes 100 sitch points regardless.
One thing is for sure, there will be no farfegnuggin' for our good pal Iceman this winter.
Yet another reason for the nickname...
One minute it is the will to do nothing, next its a complete orgy of activity that would make a cave dweller like me completely overload resulting in the consumption of copius amounts of Colt45 at the golden moment of 4:20. The fact that ice doesn't know what's wrong shows that the will to do nothing is infact the dominant ideology in ice's relationship with his truck. What happens if the battery dies or you need to buy gas?
I remember when me and ice's beer froze on our icefishing trip. Ice's dad, a compassionate man sat there drinking his(liguid beer) and laughing at these 2 sitched out individuals trying to thaw their beer on the little heater in the ice shanty. I can only imagine his response to the will to do nothing and the truck heater: "Son that's 100 points"
Hey my store ran out of 24 oz Colt45s. None until Friday! 50 points!
Oso, funny you should mention gas. I rolled into the Academy today on fumes. I thought I may have to run for a half mile to get to school, but luckily the last half mile was down hill.
I may be extremely sitched after school today. The battery is good, luckily, so far.
Oh, yeah, gas gauge does not work.
Will looks like he may have to do Something in order to be able to do Nothing.
which brings us to iceman's original meditation, "Will Iceman Have the Will?"
I rolled into the gas station sputtering all the way from school. The truck barely started. I thought I was going to have to push the truck for sure. This incident may help decide which side of the Will line to bet. Or maybe it will make it more difficult.
whatever it will do it will require the will to do it - maybe we should talk a little bit about entropy, or the chaos theory?
things fall apart unless someone has the will to keep them together.
as ice once told me, where there's a will there's a william and the will in play here seems to be necessity (i.e. work-related transport) and thus the william: the need for gas, a good battery, and heat (MAYBE, we'll see).
I suppose if he blows a head gasket we could forget about speculating on the heat and its said implications on iceman's will. Isn't will just a choice, like the name your give to your dog?
oh willy oh willy there's hell for to pay
oh willy oh willy there's hell for to pay
for killing pretty polly
and trying to get away...
things fall apart when someone attempts to keep them together.
that too.

my man didn't have the will to leave his window glass inside his driver door.
he broke down and had it taken up. now he can't raise it, but he can raise plenty else, and in good time.
it was fun on highways in the rain....sometimes with a plastic
tarp blowing against his face
"don't talk to me!" he wld say,
while we crossed the interstate.
(he was concentrating).

Your man sounds like an average dude. Does he know you've been sharing your poetry with other average dudes?
Hey Pollo, remember the black beauty's window. The driver's side window was always down, rain or shine, day or night. I never used plastic though, and passengers rarely spoke, as Hector Lavoe was usually singing.
yeah, Ice. i remember like it was today
which it is
Who's removing the comments? Bree's esposo is an average dude. I will vouch for that.
I suspect the author.
yeah, but which author?
back to iceman's will...
i think he will do nothing about his heater sitch (except collect the points), so does that mean he has no will to do anything or that he has the will to do nothing?
and how can we tell the difference?
Let me go sit in the truck for awhile and contemplate this. I need to look at this from an alternate viewpoint.
In fact I am going to go to the sausage shop and get some nice spicy sausage for dinner. The will to do nothing vs no will to do anything....hmmmmmmm
Freezing point for pure ethanol
-114 degrees celcius. In other words vodka ain't gonna freeze although you might get a slush.
Regarding Will...think mobius strip
Schnikies!
explain mobius strip please.
You'll have to look the shit up ed. It will be worth your while, as I'm sure it will add clarity to your life.
ah, but iceman, that would require will or the unwillingness to do nothing.
seems simpler if you just tell me, but then there's that will thing again.
clearly the truth is obscured.
the very nature of allusion, for those un-in-the-know.
do you mean to suggest that my effort will provide the clarity? or is it just in the knowing?
and what about ignorance as bliss?
mobius strip indeed.
