Much of the nation has been suffering from a cold snap of epic proportions, but there are always a few jokers who don’t get the message.I know you’ve SEEN them: the oddballs flitting about in shorts and tank tops while everyone else is shivering, chattering and holding a hair dryer to their water pipes. My mother has an all-purpose phrase for people whom she considers to be attention-craving outliers: “He thinks he’s CUTE.” If the cuteness factor is indeed the goal in the aberrant behavior, I must say our standards for cute have declined over the decades. “Cute” used to be Shirley Temple or Opie Taylor or Furby toys.
