    Andrew McLean has big balls

    And I'm not saying that because I have seen them close up during his slideshow at Marmot Mountain tonight. But he had shots of interesting places to ski Of course, he brings his whippet with him.

    He should bring it, I'm pretty sure he designed it.

    I've had the oppertunity to ski with him a few times through a friend on another board. He is an impressive guy. If you ever think your in shape, go for a walk in the hills with him.

    His slide shows are amazing.

    Tried to keep up with him booting up the "Y" Couloir enroute to Coalpit, the man is a lung and legs. Probably in part due to chasing Alex Lowe around the Wasatch when he was alive and living in SLC.

    Nothing like getting your ass kicked by a man 14 years your senior. Gives you optimism towards your upcoming geriatric years.

    He's my hero.

    Yes, he designed the Whippet. He also engineered the wire-gate caribeaner and a bunch of other hot shit for BD. RISD grads are known to put up some awesome legacies in ways completely different from ivy-league grads. Has anyone seen the "Power of Salad" DVD by Lightening Bolt, and featuring Pink & Brown -all RISD peeps and genius' in ther own ways.

    Anyone want to help out a JONG and explain what a whippet is?

    I know two definitions: 1) a breed of dog similar to, but smaller than a greyhound. 2) slang for the nitrous oxide in aerosol cans, such as Reddi Whip, that some people inhale for the high.

    Neither of these seems to fit

    This seems to refute the initial allegation that my client, Mr McLean has 'big balls', do you not agree Mr,... Mr Head?

    There's an awesome scene from a tour stop in Texas or Oklahoma in the middle of summer, where the drummer dumps out the party hosts fridge to climb in and play. That DVD rules.
