i think we all gape from time to time...
Yesssss!
At Ski Rex this past year, I was curious about the flex of a Nordica Enforcer. Some "rad dude" comes up to me (trying to sell me the skis, probably) saying, "That's a pretty burly ski, huh?" Without even thinking or considering being cordial or tactful, I blurt out, "Uh, not really. But good try."
Squatch witnessed it and thought the inadvertent assholery was slightly tittilating.
Damn I wish I had some pictures from when I was little to add to this thread. I used to ski with a HUGE inbounds pack. I kept paper and a lighter in my pack "in case I got lost [inbounds, mind you] and had to build a fire for the night". Now that's a fucking gaper! I carried a shovel inbounds every day I skied, and I also carried an avy probe, without truly knowing what it was for. No beacon either. I thought that if I got slid and buried, I could just take off my pack underneath the snow, get out the avy probe, and poke around in different directions until I found out which way was up.
So... those aren't very common attributes, but they would indeed be attributes of a gaper.
"Can you ski blacks?!"
I always get a kick out of, "Whoa, they're like WATER SKIS!" in regards to my Lotus 120s (not even full reverse-reverse). I usually reply, "obviously, you're not a golfer."
I would like to add that a common gaper tactic is to try as hard as possible not to fill the chairs, ESPECIALLY when the line is 20-minutes long. Whether thats their own faults or the fault of the lifty is up for debate, but that reeeeally pisses me off. I don't even think it's funny--just annoying.
Obviously I'm being a little hypocritical passing judgment on these people, considering my history, so I can't hate on them. I can, and do, however, get irked or get some chuckles.
I realize that the Texans do gape it up on the hill(ie. texas tuck,texas suitcase), but I'm sure that we all look like gapers in the flatness of the South land, Besides that aren't you afraid of offending this guy?
