The Gaper Spirit Animal

[Ivan Oder]

Whether this is real or not is irrelevant. It is equally beautiful either way. My favorite thread of the year probably.

DasCunt, you are a douche for trying to ruin it. Fuck off.

If I see the GSA at the bird, I will photograph from a distance so as not to disturb him in his natural habitat.

No dude, you need to befriend him, hold out a handful of microsd cards and stand very still.

We want to see what his video edits look like...

[skifishbum]

Yah no duh, his dad was glaring at me the whole time.

i searched the sillysunday thread for that pic
post it now
perhaps snowlerblade dork cord boy
has morphed into
GSA
wtf no alta sticker on the helmet???
no pole on the stick cam or chesty????
Bet he could still outshred the cunt

[Crampedon]

Yes I am a Jong. Yes I lurk too much. Yes this is the funniest fuckin thing I may have ever seen this year.

If for some ungodly reason I run into the gsa, I will first question how long I have to live and then second bow and chant before him as if I have consumed a half of shrooms.

Way to step up. Good JONG

May the GSA smile on you and yours

Starting with a shared strange experience and a few pictures to raise awareness of the rarity and majesty of the beloved Gaper Spirit Animal, followed by more sightings as GSA fever caught on, to truly dazzling commemorative art (which will go right next to my obama plate btw) and a theme song.

The odds for all of these events to occur are low.

It all points to one thing - GSA is real and loves us.

Why else would he "crucify" himself to make us laugh so hard?
Why would he show himself so readily?
How did he know that this was the right moment to reveal his glory?

WE MAY NEVER KNOW, but recent sightings only hearten the faithful that GSA will lead us to the promise land.

Go FORTH and spread the good word that the GSA embodies hope, for so many. Gapers, trolls, maggots, "nice" bloggers, gays, straights, nonbelievers, and even a few douches all unite in praise. Only a truly powerfully powerful power could achieve all that with possibly 3 gopros and a contour.

GSA is GREAT.
And So IT IS.


P>S I love you guys, this is so much better than anyone could have imagined. I laughed for three pages straight. Even you DasBlunt, your still a fucktard, but thanks.

THIS is one of the most remarkable posts I have ever seen on tgr. Thank you for making me laugh so hard I cramped up and had to get up and walk around.

[Crampedon]

It's gone viral, We have copycats already.

[f2f]

Spirit Rawr! I'm so loaded.

[donkeykong]

reserved...

low snow years do have their redeeming qualities. the GSA would never reach stardom if it was snowing...

[coldfeet]

Gentlemen, and ladies,

I may be biased because I am a Gaper, but I feel it is a sign of the benevolence of the GSA that this thread is bringing out the best work in you all.

With all the bad shit to read here recently, and for me after a big ol' work deadline and with a work weekend coming up, giggling at this thread all evening has been very good medicine. Well, the beer helped.

Group hug, and well done. May the GSA guide your path, lighten your pack and protect you in your weekenderly endeavors.

[Garth Bimble]

Maybe it's time we brought in the professionals...

[TahoeJ]

I think it's safe to say his edits will probably have a continuous quadruple split screen. Although, we do need a front shot of this mythical beast to see if he has a go-pro chest mount as well.

No dude, you need to befriend him, hold out a handful of microsd cards and stand very still.

[Son-of-Pbville]

wait, is that NAZI MAN on the right? GET YOUR SHIT! GET YOUR SHIT! GET YOUR SHIT!!!!

RAWWRARWRARRR I CALL ON YOU GAPER SPIRIT ANIMAL

[Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer]

This is UNREAL! I can't help laugh so hard.

And you all know who would be very proud of this guy.....

[skioride]

Where did you get my picture?

[philth]

More......

[Ted Striker]

wait, is that NAZI MAN on the right?

I think that guy wears a Darth Vader mask. Seriously.

[philth]

So as I see it, Leopard man and Bison guy are taking the piss. Being laughed at and laughing at themselves. The GSM, on the otherhand, is deadly serious and fancies himself quite the cocksman on the snow.

[lynchdogger]

Are you joking?

tgr has gone soft. this is back to the roots.

Whoever sees him next should check the din on his dukes.

Perfect. My bet is 8 or less.

This thread is damn funny. Anyone who thinks not needs to lighten up. Lighten up Francis!

Preach it! When does the Church of the Holy and Sanctified Gaper Spirit Animal start meeting?

I agree, thats what makes him incredible. there are a lot of guys that dress up like jackasses to be funny or because they dont care and then there is the gaper spirit animal

[f2f]

no love for the post-PMS kid?

[snowmonster]

No GSA sighting at Stowe today. Anybody ski Killington? Maybe this guy just skis out west.

I'm thinking maybe Stratton, Windham, Jimminy Peak or Okemo. Favorites of the canyon dwellers of Wall Street where this mythical beast resides.
