The highlight of my week is my steam on Friday night. Increasingly each week more and more ignorant hillbillies are ruining it by opening the door to the steam room, sticking their fat heads in venting out all the steam exclaiming with amazement “Oh boy! It’s really hot in here!”. Or worse, fan the door to “cool” it down while trying to decide if you want to go in because YOU DON’T LIKE HEAT!?. What part of the concept of a steam room do you find difficult to comprehend? There is a severe shortage of steam rooms in the HRM and it’s the only place to calm my Slavic soul. —Andrey

Clearly, you need to start yelling “shut the door!”
I didn’t even know Halifax had a steam room! where is it?
The Dartmouth Sportsplex has a steam room…which smells funny. It would be nice if they added a eucalyptus tablet to freshen it up a bit.
You see how we’re surrounded by idiots here in Nova Scotia do you not Slavic soul?
