No dice, but have fun!

I thought it was clever.

Ditto, that'd be great.

I also ended up pouring that vino into a large mug. A bottle actually fills about half of this ridiculous Oktoberfest mug.

That's just awesome.

That topsheet is awesome. Do you have an image file for the graphic?

Yeah man, that was awesome, thanks! That's really cool, nice find. They're handing the camera back and forth right? I can't hear what they're saying because my sound isn't working.

More coverage... in Switzerland... http://www.20min.ch/ro/news/insolite/story/24674675

Hahahaha, love it. Et en Suisse... http://www.20min.ch/ro/news/insolite/story/18732383

My teacher actually gave me great grades for writing about NaS & Jay-Z in Grade 12 English on a topic that kind of runs along the same lines.

I am alarmingly aroused.

I feel you there. A couple of years ago, I went to a few used sports shops to see if they had any alpine gear kicking around, but they said they don't take it because they can't re-sell it. That being said, I actually bring my board inside with me for lunch and before/after riding, I wouldn't take the chance.

Yeah, I'm saying that jibber style is a thing of it's own, so we're on the same page. Nothing wrong with standing out, we're hardbooting after all, aren't we? Am I the only one who started doing this to initiate more conversation with girls on the chair lift? Errr... uhh... I mean... I was actually at a couple of Thirft shops the other day and checked out a few retro jackets, don't know how brave I feel about it though, hahaha.

That's funny, in '98, my dad bought a Chevy Venture and hated hearing about how well our neighbour's Sienna was running as we were back and forth buying parts and getting repairs. Our neighbour's Sienna is still running great, while we've still got the Venture and after about a month of taking it to the shop, it starts to sound like it's going to explode. Power steering likes to give up on us randomly as well. He used to always buy American cars, but after we last bought a Civic in 2002, he's not looking at anything but Japanese or European. Just my two cents as well, if American is doing it for you, go American. However after watching Gran Torino, that "would it kill you to buy American?" makes every "why not buy American?" sound like a Japanese-American confrontation. I know that wasn't tex1230's intention either, no disrespect, I just think we should dead the sentence. Also, if American vehicles just as good or a better purchase, would such a guilt trip expression exist?

I'm assuming this is the band you're talking about, I had no idea what Suicidal Tendencies was. Around here, it seems a good number of guys who ride their road bicycles downtown seem to always have that sort of hat on.

Ouf, I would not associate "gangsta image" with whatever it is our young softbooting counterparts are doing. My younger brother (who is a recently converted softbooter who'd been skiing most of his life) and I were having some lunch at our local resort last time we were out riding, and we looked at softbooters passing by, sporting unbelievably enormous pants & jackets with bandanas fashioned more awkwardly than anything I can ever recall. I can't picture any single rap artist on the planet ever touching something like that, even with a ten foot pole. I remember some pictures of The Game snowboarding (which I can't seem to find right now), but he just had on an all black jacket and pants with a ski mask and goggles. Clothing not much bigger than what you see BOLers wearing. ********** EDIT ********** Found the pictures! I was off a little on the description (this was just a memory from a few years ago), but still, he doesn't look a thing like the ridiculous softbooters that most label "gangsta", and this is the current generation's big west coast gangster rapper. Can all of the BOLers REALLY say they'd never wear what he's wearing? ********** EDIT ********** Anyway, all we concluded was that we might think it's ridiculous, but we probably don't get it, as snowboarding really is it's own culture.

Just received, thanks John!

Aside from one horrible horrible ice storm many years ago, the power doesn't usually go out here in Ottawa despite some good old Canadian weather. I'm kind of surprised to hear all of this.

Yes, happy holidays from Ottawa. Though this picture is not current, public transit is on strike.

I don't know about the hills in Seattle, but I couldn't help but think "Silly Seattlers". I was actually driving around two days ago on a few inches of snow in residential areas with streets that are rarely plowed (so the snow banks pretty much reduce driving space to one lane), thinking, "I wonder what living here would be like for people who've never seen snow for half the year?"

Damn, I thought for a second that you were endorsing something that'd probably get me axed for sexual harrassment if used at work.

Hahahaha, fail. Oooooo baby, does it get any better than Bomber? I'm kidding, wait, please don't ban me, NOOOOOOooooOOooooooooooooooooo......oo oo............. *crickets*

Is it wrong that this is kind of turning me on?

Short board is fine, it's for my sister, I'm looking for bindings as well. Aww man, I've got a night pass at Edelweiss and I'm getting a weekdays + nights pass at Cascades. I'm planning to get out a few times with Mack in the new year on weekends, he's discovered Calabogie and loving it.
