It was 18 degrees last time I checked. Why would it be preferable to sit outside than inside? Perhaps the fusion jazz we just played loudly for 20 minutes will help to return them to their senses. Other suggestions?
These recipes come from family members, friends, cookbooks and the Internet. If you would like to know the source for a specific recipe, let me know.
Makes two 9-inch crusts (use half the ingredients for a single crust)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cold or frozen butter
dash of vinegar
ice-cold water, enough so dough is flaky but not dry or gooey
To prebake the crust, bake at 350º for about 10 to 12 minutes. Placing aluminum foil on top of the crust, with some dry beans or rice, helps prevent bubbling.

Fusion jazz? What is that like, exactly? If they're Beavis and Butthead, maybe play acid rock instead of what sounds like music to go to sleep to? :-)

I've always wanted to have a focusable noise generator capable of going from 40 HZ (just below human hearing) to up close to where bats make noise. And then be able to amplify and modulate and pulse just to see what kind of reactions different targets would take when under assault.

Matt, do you know what google is? Or wikipedia? Yes, I know I'm a librarian, but you're also a veteran of the "look-it-up" parenting plan.
Dad, you are kind of evil. I like it.
