| someone just signed me up for one of these so now I get to jump into a freezing cold lake with a bunch of other people who have nothing better to do with their time so mal, have you ever done a polar bear plunge? what's your opinion on them in general? does anyone have any fun polar bear plunge facts, or does anyone know who came up with the idea of causing yourself unnecessary pain and discomfort for fun? discuss |
| Is it for a good cause? And why not it's good to live a little and be social. I think it started for charity but people have been going into freezing water against their will since who knows when. |
 |
| lol can you swim? jumping in cold water refreshes you and your mind so I personally would go for it(since I need a refresh/wakeup call). |

Is this where you live?  |
| Maybe they're all masochists? Either way I'd do it as a spur of the moment thing but not exactly just going to a place with that as the explicit reason to be there. If you're signed up then I guess you may as well go and hope it turns out to be possibly fun. |

| I jumped in a bog once, I can assure you that jumping into a ditch that smells and has the same if not thicker consistency of shit if probably worse though. Have fun like Coolspot said, it doesn't hurt to be social. The shock will wake you up :D |
| I've been here way too long... |
| I'm sure a retard out there died by doing this |
 |
| As long as you're taking the necessary precautions, I don't see the harm in it. Although no reason to do it if you don't really want to. |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |
| Sounds like something fun to do. Have fun. |
| Enjoy urself! As long as it's for charity, it's cool. |

| Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons. It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. -Walt Whitman A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -Robert A. Heinlein |
| Whatever the opposite of "hot as balls" is, is what the water was when I did in hs. Got a nice hoodie with a little polar bear on it, so def worth it. |
 |
| Ah yes, polar bears. Such majestic creatures. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| We used to get our friends to do that for cash. |
