The Gaper Spirit Animal

[Crampedon]

AS the self-appointed Central Pacific GSA Coordinator, I will report any and all sightings post-ski season. Along with the annual Humpback Whale migration and Golden Plover flights, it is highly likely there could be a pilgrimage to a white, sandy beach.

Stay tuned.

Not that it matters any but Saturday at work I was approached by a co-worker/acquaintance that asked me if I knew of GSA.

My and my other friend were like "hell yeah we know about him."

We were told that the day in question at Snowbird when GSA needed help getting into his skis was ended with beers at the Tram Club. This co-worker of mine (a lurker on TGR) felt that it was not compelling enough to relate his experience of having beers with the GSA to all of us disciples.

Apparently he is friends of the GSA's follower that was with him at snowbird. He had beers and shareth the sacred mead with the GSA.

He said the GSA was "intense and looked like he was all jacked from the gym or something." Judging from the pick the Freeheel posted of the GSA outside the RVs, he is growing in strength....

If he is not self aware yet this is probably one of the funniest things I've ever encountered.

[Soups]

Wait a tick!!!......

Is he wearing his harness on the treadmill? I don't think that has been mentioned yet.

[Bobcat Sig]

^^^ I never thought possible, but my mind is further blown.

[Soups]

One month, fifty-eight pages, over 1400 posts, and almost 150,000 views and we didn't catch it until now?

The GSA keeps on giving. He is a true holy figure. Tis better to give than receive.

[ass-to-mouth]

It's hard to laugh when I sit in a cubicle and this guy is heli-skiing the Chugach - I am more a gaper than he..

Get a job with a TBTF Wall St bank and you too can enjoy the GSA lifestyle.

is a beacon outside the jacket de rigueur in AK heli operations?

thx

You should see the lodge at baker.

Do we know the logo on the holy headband? Only the gsa can bring us the knowledge that you can still sport divine fo-hawk and keep thine ears warm.

Bow down to the holy headband!

Hate to break it to ya, but Google search is crazy adaptive to what you've been looking at already.

[wolfelot]

Who shall be the chosen scribe who will create a Wikipedia entry detailing the GSA and all his glory? Alas, while a believer, I am not worthy of such a noble endeavor.

[3snowboards]

I believe the GSA is stronger then a double rainbow.
Brother Freeheel, you must tread lightly.
We do not want self-awareness to occur.
Repeat
DO NOT GET CAUGHT!

WOW! We have been reading the Sacred Texts of the GSA for over 58 divine pages, and Brother Soups haveith uncovered the Greatest Mystery of All. And There It Be Written, a New Book is Born!!!!!!!!

[Soups]

He is also wearing his Holy Halo Headband that was a "new" piece of gear found during the Alaskan rapture.

[BaNosser]

it is He
never without his Hestra gloves or harness, He however graces us without his helmet or performance shell, revealing His skin tight shirt proclaiming His mantra 'Fight Like Hell'

While impressive in appearance.. the GSA does not need the guns he sports or a badass disposition to destroy nay-sayers or non-believers... He can smite thee with a thought... In the glorious photo evidence supplied by the Chosen One Freeheel, the GSA looks as if contemplating the punishment of a non-believer.. be it dropping the n-b into a hidden bottomless shrund or just a nasty core shot....

Oh Great GSA.. I believe.. Up and out.. I believe

[Bottleman]

Soups (and not Biff) = GSA. You read it here first, second or third (with no evidence other than a strong hunch). That is not a knock but rather an affirmation of absolute greatness.

Oh, and I'd rather be wrong than right but either way I remain captivated.

[BigDaddy]

Oh, and I'd rather be wrong than right but either way I remain captivated.

I think you are wrong... I had to investigate and this post leads me to believe you are wrong:

His massive ego (he's got to have one) would probably step up, not get the joke, and claim the shit out of it.

The GSA, though likely mortal, is more than a single being at this point. He has become each and every one of us, and even though a day may come, when he is "identified", he will live on forever in this collective body. As the son Ullr, he will ski for our sins.

[skibiker]

I am sitting here like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for a post from Brother freeheel.

I am also a little concerned for him. If the GSA is self-aware and is viewing this thread, surely he can figure out who snapped the latest photo. Didn't someone say that photo looked staged? So many questions I have. And really, he MUST be self-aware. Surely a friend or a friend of a friend on Wall Street, or perhaps just a chance acquaintance, has told him of his notoriety.

[BassBone]

I, and a few others, think it's a bit incredible he happens to be photographed standing in that pose in the middle of a parking lot. If he is self-aware, it means he has a great sense of humor.

if not; it's incredible.

either way it's incredible; he has made it to AK. I face NW and strike the pose.

Believe...

[DeathVan]

The first true commandment spoken to us through the chiseled stone tablet, that is the GSA's shirt (which he wore to the mountain top),
have been heard, and its meaning cannot be more clear.

"Fight Like Hell"

-Yes, GSA. I believe and I will

[skibiker]

GSA: "Could I be known as Gape Muad'Dib?"
Ullr: "You are now Gape Muad'Dib!"

Ullr: "Muad'Dib is wise in the ways of the mountains. Muad'Dib creates his own snow. Muad'Dib we call 'instructor of maggots.' ... That is a powerful base on which to build your life, Gape Muad'Dib, you who is the Gaper Spirit Animal among us."

and somebody dropped their camera onto the collective in the heli a few years back, so by pilot's orders all cameras including GoPros stay in pockets around the bird.

The harness makes him quite a strapping fellow, and mark him (along with his distinctive headdress and aggressive plumage) to his Adoring Public when he is away from his slopeside temples.

[Ski to Be]

This theological puzzle is starting to reveal itself
God /Muad Dib = GSA
Fremen =Maggots
Arakis = Alaska
Spice= Snow "snow is life"
Worms = Helicopters

"GSA created Alaska to train the faithful"
"One cannot go against the word of GSA"

Not only is it component of the divine trinity that is the GSA, but as He teaches, one must always be ready for a Holy Rappel from the Heavens...
