This is my list of things that make me laugh:
ESPN-
So I watched the X Games, all of them, even the ice climbing.
Then I realized that all the results are on SOL and I wasted
my time, but here's why I found it so funny. It doesn't matter what trick you do, just how
well you did last year, and Kevin Jones is the funniest
snowboarder alive(and as it turns out, he's running for Mayor here in scenic Rutland, VT).
No matter what the riders say, I don't think the annoucers were even aware they were being
mocked. Pure comedy gold.Norm Macdonald- Dirty Work might just be one of the funniest movies ever made.
Other people's misfortune- I'm an asshole, what can I say.
Blatant Stupidity- If you don't understand, I'm probably laughing at you right now.
The fact that people actually read Yo Beat- Come on, I don't even read most of it.
When non snowboard magazine write articles about snowboarding- Check out the new Cosmo (Motto: For Women who like to fuck). Inside you will find an article on Barrett Christy, on of Cosmo's 12 Fun Fearless Females of 1998. Barrett earned this honor for being a "Stelar Snowboarder" and her "Ability to get 'Big Air' (snowboarder jargon for a sky-high jump)". They then go on to explain that halfpipe is a "ramp" and big air is a "jump." Wow. Then we turn a few pages later, to their February calendar. On the 13th the suggest you "Do something really extreme- try snowboarding."
When non snowboard related companies use snowboarding to sell their products- Let's see, Mt. Dew, Sprite (although that ad is actually kid of good, nothing compared to 1-800-Tall Men), Pioneer, etc. Let's face it, extreme sports sell.
That ASC might be purchased by a dog food company- Since Les Otten, the man behind the American Skiing Company's lack of success can no longer foot the bills, the entire ASC, or maybe just Killington is up for sale. Possible purchasers include InterWest (the company that owns Stratton) and Purina Dog Cow. I hope Purina buys it, then we can be like Korea, where they make everything cool, and all mountains are owned by electronics companies.
