t-minus 10 minutes until Tex rings in with some freshiez cam bashing.

I applaud your use of public transportation

skiing w/ skins on really sucks. I'd just leave only the metal rail exposed for bite, otherwise on steep skin traverses your skis will fly out from under you when it is too steep to get your skin on the snow.

whoops, looks like they only have 64mm left, sorry.

check rei-outlet.com right now I think I saw some of their mohair ttp's on sale.

That's a stretch.

The connection is that DFA and GregW were having a tiff about Spanglish.

Since you will have to trim those skins to fit your skis anyway, why not just go edge-to-edge? That said, I don't think you'll have a problem, but there are those times where you are just on the borderline of slipping and you think to yourself...I wish I had some wider skins....

I highly recommend you check out www.engrish.com

There was an article on this in New Scientist recently. Apparently it is a significant problem and there is a push to bring crusing altitudes down to reduce this problem. However, it costs a great deal more to cruise below the typical 30K feet of a commercial plane, due to increased wind drag and I would assume inability to hitch a ride on the jetstream.

my mom used to feed me so many carrots when I was little my skin turned yellow. I did develop some cool night vision though.

Try Burger King. Whopper sandwich has 710 calories, 42g of fat. King-sized fries: 600 calories, 30g of fat. You just can't compete with that kind of fat density! God bless America.

mmmm.....paramedics

mmmmm...grease

naw, just picturing your skis making a turn, going straight, making a turn, straight, then yard sale. You'll probably get some pizza/fries talk at your first ski class.

"temporary muscle paralysis" That's not a side-effect for some people!

pizza... fries... pizza fries pizza.....fries...fries...spaghetti!

It is nice to get out of work but it's terrible to joke about death like this. REALLY LAME when someone gets hurt responding to it. Those deputies seem to get hurt all the time! (That is, if the scene is anywhere near a road. If it's more than 100 ft from their cars you'll never see them.) I say bill the hell out of those guys and send the proceeds to the organizations who responded.

The Chinook would be the ultimate party helicopter. You could have some serious shindigs in the back of that thing. The hellhole would be the source of nonstop pranks!

cool pic vegbelay!

Why mess around with those? Here this guy's knocking off the approach time to Helens in fine style with the AH-1Z.

probably wears a turban and had couscous for dinner.
