Frightened

[bad_roo]

My Spatulas are currently in the shop for mounting. In the UK.

I really hope they don't fuck it up.

[Steven S. Dallas]

You're screwed.

Imagine a class of twelve year olds given a Masters calculus paper. That's what the guy's face looked like when I handed him the skis. There was both chin stroking and head scratching, sometimes simultaneously combined with brow furrowing and toe tapping.

His inadequate jig was of no comfort to him.

[Snow Dog]

I bet he puts the bindings on the bottom.

[iceman]

Well all I really have to say here is that I like Snow Dog's sig.

"They're hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!"

"Oh, the humanity!" "

[Steven S. Dallas]

There was both chin stroking and head scratching, sometimes simultaneously combined with brow furrowing and toe tapping.

If he's coordinated enough to do all that, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Actually, I take that back. I just tried it and it's not that hard.

Well...I wouldn't worry roo. Why? Because you have to look at the durability continuum ("DC"). A quick DC analysis reveals:

Durability Scale - M103
[0-------------5---------------10]
--------------------------8 = M103

Days Life - M103
[0---------------------------------------------6mo-----------------------------1yr-------------------------2+yr]
----3*days = Roo

Durability Scale - Spatula
[0-------------5---------------10]
------2.5 = Spatulas

Days Life - M103
[0---------------------------------------------6mo-----------------------------1yr-------------------------2+yr]
(-3days) = Roo

So, they're gonna break em if only to keep the model in proper working order.


*note: I couldn't remember 3 days/hours/runs or what

It wasn't an Irish Jig I hope.

Combining that with the scratching, furrowing, etc., would be rather difficult I presume.

A slow day in the world of High Finance, I see.

Ay. The Irish lost most of their experienced techs during the Troubles, which has contributed mightily to their failure to field a successful Alpine team.

[72Twenty]

Ship 'em to me and I'll fix 'em for ya. Allow 3 to 5 months for testing.

[bad_roo]

My Motherships lasted eight days before they delaminated. That's a record! My Spats have to be written off already. They'll be sitting in a corner of Snow and Rock Chertsey with cracked cores, delaminated topsheets and screws poking through the bases.

ice - I saw a great cartoon once regarding Irish dancing. This guy is reaching down the back of the shelves in a library and unearths a long lost book. He wipes the dust off the cover to reveal "Irish Dancing Volume II: Use of The Arms." ;)

We can never forget the Ardnacrusha Ptex Atrocity. The Troubles saw off the all but a hardy hardcore of Techs but the Potato Famine really thinned their numbers.

[iceman]

"Thinned".

Ouch.

[MeatPuppet]

I would think the timeing could have been better roo. Two weeks after getting 24hour pubs and you choose *now* to drop your spats off for mounting? Good luck man. Your going to need it.:nonono2:

[Hicks]

I just imagine how rad you will be looking with these at the U.K. indoor skiing facilities.:FIREdevil ;)

[Mulletizer]

Roo: don't say I didn't warn you. ;)

[bad_roo]

Hey - I got 'em back today and they did an OK job. Unbelievable but true. Guy called Ally did the mount. Bent the brakes and everything.

Having said that, I'll probably do a Blurred and tear the toe piece out on my first turn. ;)

[Redskea]

But are you brave enough to look under the bindings to see how many holes he had to drill before he got it right?;)

[Idris]

Don't you own a Black and Decker? - also a ruler and a marker pen....

[bad_roo]

I'd pay to have somebody else mount them so I retain whinging rights if it fucks up. :D

[splat]

Shoulda just had Tom make you a pair of splatulas.

[bad_roo]

Scrofulas?

[Glisseur]

Don't know what's scarier: a UK shop trying to mount a pair of Spats - or Roo riding a pair, Audi style... ;)
