Christian: It’s hot as shit and I hate it. I sweat my ass off. I try to stay in the AC as much as I possibly can. I don’t get out much in August. My roommate won’t let me smoke in my house, so I have to go outside to smoke. I get eaten up by the mosquitoes. At least in July you have the Fourth of July, which is always something to look forward to. August, you got nothing. I’m pretty much inside unless I come outside and smoke. That’s my outdoor activity in August.

Zeno: I love it. People who don’t like the heat are cold-blooded. They shouldn’t be alive, really. Your body is 98.6 degrees anyway so what are you going to do? I thrive on heat. Nothing thrives in the cold except polar bears and penguins. The only bad part of August is people start obsessing over football. Football sucks. I love to sweat, but then again I only weigh 138 pounds. Sweating is cleansing. It gets all the impurities out of your body. I prefer sweat to icicles.

Caitlin: I don’t like August. It’s sticky and school starts in August. No one wants to go back to school. It’s too hot. There’s no air conditioning on the buses. It’s ridiculous. It’s too hot to learn. But Augustus [Octavian] deserves a month. He was a pretty good emperor. He brought economic stability to Rome. Pretty good guy. The other emperors were pretty much jerks. When he died, we got Nero and that wasn’t good. So he deserves a month, but I still don’t like August.
