Uhm, Well….That’s A Good Question Sweetie.

Posted by LC 0311 Sir Crunchie I.M.H., K.o.E. on June 16, 2012

So I’ve got the whole brood on a road trip up to see Crumb Crunchie and as we’re passing through lovely Dothan Alabama, out of the blue Princess Walnut asks ;

“Daddy, is ice skating a water sport?”

What say you pups?

    As someone who was a swimmer in his formative years, I’d say “no.”

    When water’s frozen, it’s called ice, with it’s attending ice sports.
    “Water sports” refer to the state between frozen and gaseous.
    Temperature,, deciding factor.
    Lay out it all scientific, Professor Dad!

    My answer, Crunchie, is that you better be saving your pennies to make sure that young lady gets the education she deserves, because she may save us all from perdition!

    Having been a swimmer in school, and now enjoying the occasional ice skate, my butt tells me that skating is NOT a “Water sport” when it hits the ice…….

    Depends. How thick is the ice?

    On one hand, the chemical makeup of the stuff hasn’t changed, only the temperature, therefore it’s still water but in a different state. On the other hand, its like an uncle that died of hard drink – when a block of ice fell on him … Po – tay-to, Po-tah-to.

    … but – how long would it take a peg-legged cockroach to bore through a bar of soap?

    Yup – absolutely, but only played when the temperatures are below freezing :em01:

    “Daddy, is ice skating a water sport?”

    only when you get too close to the ice fishermen

    If it is, you’re doing it wrong.

    “Daddy, is ice skating a water sport?”

    Well, Princess Walnut, that’s a very good question. The only way to really know for sure is to use that GPS unit, up by the dashboard, as a internet connection. All you have to do is turn it up-side down and type in the question!

    Doncha just miss yer uncle Mope?

    In South Alabama this time of year, yes.

    Water is the term we use for H2O in liquid form. Ice is the term for H2O in it’s solid form. Steam is H2O in its gaseous form (okay, it’s energetic vapor). Plasma is when H2O is being torn apart, and you should avoid the neighborhood – it’s a bad one…

    No, it’s NOT a water sport. See Cheapshot’s answer for corroboration. :em01:

    OT, but you reminded me of this. For those who like “fun” chemicals, check out the “Things I Won’t Work With” category.

    That they do Mope, that they do. Every road trip, and I do mean EVERY road trip, they ask if the GPS is upside down. Then they say to have Uncle Mope check it.

    Boryon @ #:
    That was a hoot. I added that guy to my bloglist.
    As to the question: no although ice fishing late in the season sometimes becomes one.

    “Things …” reminds me very much of my own misspent youth and time in a chem lab. Between labs, motorcycles, alcohol (etcetera and et al), and virually anything else I could get my hands on, I’ve come to the conclusion a God must exist and most ceratinly is worthy of my worship as there’s no other reason I should be alive today, and in virtually the same condition I started out in.

    Thanks for the item, Mr. Boryon – enjoyed it.
