What have I done?

**Spats** · 10-04-2004, 07:47 PM

I decided I needed a cheezy one-piece for closing at Alta and other special occasions, so I trolled ebay. $19.95, and done.

The problem is: I got it in the mail.

It's even more heinous than I imagined. It might be worse than MOE's pink catastrophe. It's so vile that I'm not even sure I can wear it. And I'm not nearly degenerate enough to get drunk at breakfast and not care.

**Crinkle** · 10-04-2004, 07:57 PM

worthless without pics my man.

**Telenater** · 10-04-2004, 08:27 PM

I'll wear it, You know I have no shame.

Maybe its all the humor circulating through here tonight, but this post made me blow water out my nose....CLASSIC!!

Oh please! You sound like a nervous school girl.

Being the pack rat that I am, I still have a lot of my scary-ass ski clothes from the 80s and 70s. We're talking gold-coloured, flair-pant-legged, neoprene ski pants (coordinated with a bright green Wayne Wong ski jacket). Compared to that, a one-piece fart bag is totally new school.

Go ahead, wear your new (old) gear with pride, during the proper, season-ending debauch-erific events.

(But more importantly, does this mean I can start wearing my red/yellow/baby blue-with-the-brass-zippers SOS jacket from circa 1980?)

Lol, I was sponsored by SOS a few years ago, glad it didn't look like that!

**skiguide** · 10-04-2004, 08:52 PM

thread hijack -

anyone else checked out http://auctions.overstock.com/ yet?

it's a mix of ebay and friendster/social networks - you can see how you're connected to other buyers/sellers through exchanging crap like this

i haven't posted anything yet for sale (as "skiguide") but because I'm connected to shredbetty i got a network invite from someone else totally random. i'm sure we'd have a freaky network from folks here

That SOS jacket is a paragon of taste and restraint compared to this...thing.

I owned a red puffy, stretch pants with matching red boot flares, and white Hanson rear-entries when I was a little kid. That, too, was considered the peak of style at one time.

The only time this outfit might have been in style is for one week in the late 70s, on a sunny day at a slopeside restaurant in St. Moritz, worn by a 55-year-old casino manager with cocaine residue on his mustache, on holiday with a 22-year-old French prostitute.

But even then it was kind of fruity.

I really wanna see this thing....

**snowsprite** · 10-05-2004, 06:52 AM

Spats, based on what you are saying you owe it to the world to wear this thing. Preferably at the Summit and/or the Mini...where we can get lots of pictures! You can't give that kind of description and then not wear it. Nuh-uh...now you are locked in dude!!

I've seen Spats' normal get up.

This shit has to be bad.

For sure, eh. Someone less lazy and more innernet savy than I should dig up and post all those old pics of Spats in all his glory (zebra stripes and twister pants must top the list).

Then we can truly shiver in our boots as we contemplate what even he would not wear.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and the horror, the horror),
d.

Was thinking the same thing. This is all coming from the guy who wore zebra striped parachute pants WITH matching boxers to the mammy mini a few months ago.

So what size is it? I'd love to go troll kirkwood's real estate dept. in it.

**meatdrink9** · 10-05-2004, 09:09 AM

ROTFLMAO. I too have seen the twister parachute pants.

I agree. You brought up the subject, now you HAVE to reveal it all to us!

DJ - How do you know that Spats had matching zebra boxers to go with his zebra pants??? Ok.. actually, I know how you know, but WHY did you have to bring that back up? Now I can't fully enjoy my congealed breakfast burrito anymore.

You win.

(Especially now that I remember seeing a photo of those zebra pants at Mammoth.)

**grrrr** · 10-05-2004, 10:14 AM

Well I hope you didn't pay more than 1.99 euros.

**divegirl** · 10-05-2004, 02:18 PM

Spats, it must be revealed. Put it on and post a picture. Or one of us will hunt you down and retain it for blackmail purposes.

Are you in Utah now, or SF? Will we be making fun of this getup on the Kirkwood slopes this season, or will the Utards have the pleasure?

**AntiSoCalSkier** · 10-05-2004, 04:18 PM

So, let me get this straight: Zebra pants, OK, 80's one-piece, not OK?

At least give us the link to the ebay auction!

**SponsoredByDuctTape** · 10-05-2004, 04:30 PM

Anyone remember "Mother Karens" pullovers? My parents have a picture of me at about 10 with one of those, flare-bottomed stretch pants, and brown "I-Ski" glasses with peeper keepers. I was like, totally gnarly.

Spats, you know we'll all be extremely disappointed if we never see you in this....thing. Who's up for an '80's day?

Wear it out at night for dancing... it can't be worse than the zebra pants.
edit for

so that it doesn't come off bitchy.

**Lumpy** · 10-06-2004, 06:06 PM

I've got the rest of the ensamble for you...purple and teal Swans poles, and a hot pink pair of Bolles...just cleaned out the storage shed that hasn't seen any movement since 1993.

There all yours for the the taking bruddah...
