Things That Amuse You

Boarding a plane yesterday and had my boarding pass on my phone instead of my usual boomer printout. I had expanded the code and it didn't take after a couple of swipes. The lady says It's too big. Took that beachball on a tee and said Huh, never heard that before. She and half the line were cracking up and i got on the plane fast before i got canceled or something.

I don't know what to say really. I definitely don't mince words.

I know from memory that there is a thread for this. The euro vs. merca vs. midwest. But I can't find it. It's actually a really hard search term to effectivly go for. But anyway, the gist is that 'mercans can't line them up and the euro's are digital.

In my experience, from skiing in many many countries, yes we are not the fuckwits. There is a cultural system.

It's quite nice actually.

Check this shit out, I actually participated in this today, for good reason. I love it. It's like self coat check as close as you can get before walking or skating your way up.

I love this communist overloard. I feel the lick on the top skin of putun's 3rd eye.



BTW, you euros and argies can jump up and suck all my farts. Especially the french. Fuck you assholes. This is the ritz, have some respect. Bitches. Basic.

Afterthought: It's kinda funny to see some tele moemnts in that group, but I got some free services at the ritz and I was happy.

And I just realized that I put my poles upright. ooooops. I'll cry and have a moment and get over it. My friend walking is way over 70 and should be forgiven on pure fucking life credits. I failed.

Do you know what was the coolest thing? I skied with one of my best friends. That is something that can not be replaced.


So, this morning, we are set to go at 10, just to let it warm up a bit. I set my alarm for 9.

It goes off.

I get up, not awake.

Take a piss, oops, leave a piss,

Walk to the door and open in and jump into my sleeping bag.

10: knock knock open, hey!

Me: I'm fucking asleep.

Gary: Hey, want to ski today.

Me: Oh Gary, this is going to be great (completely asleep)

10 whole minutes later standing on top of me in full ski gear:

Gary: SO DO YOU WANT TO SKI TODAY?

Me: oh shit, that wasn't a dream, yes, of course, holy fuck, morning shit,and no tea, just roll.

RESULT: Great day. Yeah, I failed, but he can't walk and I shuttled the fuck out of him and we both skied a shit ton of vert and we both laughed, smiled, and hugged.

Pretty amaze. This is why skiing keeps me alive. Beyond him asking if I would take care of his place when he dies.

Even when I have cried harder than a child who was completely abandoned, which I have felt, many more times than I did anticipate but am comfortable with at this point, I can't really think about a bad ski day, Sure: shit snow, weather, fucked up avi shit, fucked up people, snow; but I need to constantly remember to tell myself, that there is no better place to be other than on a couple planks of wood and smelling.

I smell that shit. Do you? From your breakie sammie to the sound of the two planks clinking? I do.

Dude, you are unstable. People hire you as their lawyer?

It's not me. Just someone looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

A while back I got the chance to fuck with people when I came across a snake on the trail. After trying to shoo it off with a stick I realized it was dead, stiff as a board. So I picked it up and set it on a rock next to the trail, right at shoulder height. Just in time for the weekend. Best part was the wind blowing the rattle so you could clearly hear it.

At the time I only heard from one guy who encountered this snake "that wouldn't move", he went way off trail to get around it.

3 yrs later this vid showed up in my youtube feed today. Not worth watching except for 20 seconds starting at :35 LOL.












Sound up!

Nice to see that come full circle! The rock feature looks fun, too.

My daughter and her boyfriend are skiing with a friend and her boyfriend. All 4 of them are in their later 20's. So far the friend's boyfriend has asked my daughter if she likes Earth, Wind and Fire, Grand Funk Railroad and Emerson, Lake and Palmer. wtf.

[MakersTeleMark]

That means he's holding the drugs you don't have to worry about.

[PB]

More like he likes to stuff people in 55 gallon drums and then slowly consume them as they hit prime vintage. Time for a little chat with the daughter.
I sense a new thread title.

[ötzi]

It's her friend's boyfriend, not hers! But yeah a talk is needed.

[ötzi]

If he asks if she likes "Stuck In The Middle With You" I told her to run.

This music is making a comeback with the youngs. My 19yo has been buying all kinds of used "classic rock" CDs.

I don't think that you really need to put that in quotes when it is actually classic rock. Honestly, those might be "Oldies" at this point.

[frorider]

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Oooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid

Pretty racy stuff to be discussing with your daughter

He wanted to pop in an Asia CD on the ride home from University after freshman year. I told him it would make me drive into a wall. I'm ok with Dio and Rainbow and some of the other stuff he's dug up. But he also discovered some shit rock.
