This makes me that much prouder of Powder, which when purchased by a massive corporation could have gone the way of Outside--basically "Shape" magazine for skiers. (The Spyder ads on the backcover notwithstanding.)
Powder is still The Skier's Magazine for cheapo-bro-dirtbags like us, even if us dirtbags make a median income of $74,500 a year.) ;)
Yeah, Laird Sucks.Quote:

You need to stfu, because you don't know what you're talking about beater.
That's what I learned at the World Scrabble Championships, I told them the exact thing would happen to them as to cribbage if they keep overpromoting. Now look, everybody thinks Scrabble is as easy as cribbage.
Laird does cool things and is a jerk, big shocker. He dumped his first wife when his first kid was a year old or something. He's overexposed and is boring me.
So, wait a minute...Gabby is dumping Lars? So, you're saying there's a chance? Yessss...
in that case...I recant my original statement.Quote:

He has sold a shitload of books. Look for his title in the vivi-section of your favorite store.
He can drink anywhere he wants in Utah because he has a lifetime dismembership.
He would be a tri-athlete but he can only swim in circles.
Put him in a Greg Stump film.
Stop me now. Puns are SO gay.
You cannot blame anyone who lost their arm for cashing in. He has the rest of his life to live without two arms, he will need the money.
Same goes for Laird. He is 42, how many more yr's does he have before he is over the hill? Lets not confuse him with his character in the North Shore. Remember that one? Great movie. I wonder where Turtle is these days?
Apparently It's not okay to make fun of Aron Ralstead while one is standing in Ute Mountaineer ( I guess he used to work there ). Found that one out the hard (but very comical) way...
Wow, then how do you explain the kid they had in 2003?Quote:

I am going to take the unpopular position here and defend aron (though not outside - outside sucks)
I defend aron entirely on the basis on what he did before he got famous.. I wish I had known him. He quit a (relatively high-paying) job at IBM to work in a (relatively low-paying) rock climbing store. Meanwhile, he soloed 45 (or so) of the 14ers in winter (he has since finished them), climbed denali, climbed in south america, completed something like 35 state highpoints (solo'd gannet in a daytrip), and went to a lot of phish concerts.
The web site he had before the incident had some amazing pictures and narratives (which he took offline.. too bad, too. I did save a cache of the site.. which I still have, somewhere.)
Then he got famous.. and you, who probably would have been a great friend of his had you known him, make fun of him because of outside magazine. which sucks.
Talk about a beater, this sums you up master. Master Choker that is. :rolleyes:Quote:

He did most of them before the incident, and finished it last year.Quote:

One arm dude to be seen in Miller Light commercials coming out this year. Premise of the commercials: "Real Men". There is some good humor in them.

PS He did all the 14ers solo last winter, with one arm!
Please do, should make for some interesting reading. :biggrin:Quote:
