Oh fuck, to say this thread delivers is just such a god damned understatement. A motherfucking screenplay could be written based on this. It just keeps simmering and then boiling and yet I feel deep inside that the climax has not arrived, the shark hasn't been totally jumped. The feel good movie of the decade's conclusion would no doubt be the GSA accepting his seat as King. The man came, the spirit saw, and the king conquered.
Please GSA, save my faith in anything left in this world that is righteous and good. Please take thy throne for the power and the glory are yours!

This thread is not bullying. Bullying is when someone threatens to kick your ass for your lunch money. A few of the comments on page one were assholish. But the rest of the thread has been like an SNL parody. Kind of like the Blues Brothers was a parody on blues and then the joke evolved to another level.Now Dan Aykroyd owns House of Blues and takes it seriously. I had my reservations about contributing to this thread but the multiple appearances everywhere made me a believer. And as a believer I will offer an open invite to show him around the Washington ski areas if he is interested. He is a celebrity now in our community wether he likes it or not. Not that he needs money but I would even buy him a day of heliskiing in North Cascades or Whistler if he is into it. Frankly this thread has been so much entertainment I would be getting away cheap. I bet there are plenty of Mags that would clammer to join in battle mode with the GSA for a day. For me it has been more about laughing with him as apposed to at him as I was at one time just like him less harness and Go Pros. If you are going over the top like that you are going to get attention. You can't control wether or not it is positive or negative. I am sure he can deal with it.

Believe.
Those are the words on the sticker on my Yakama box.
Not negative, but positive.
The naysayers do not understand, they may never. For what started at a mere gape at a gaper, ended with a resounding crescendo when the GSA made it to Alaska.
I feel strange sometimes working out wearing a Speedo while doing laps a the local pool (attire I might add is completely appropriate for the activity), while the GSA treaded with full backcountry gear on a treadmill at his gym. This IS the definition of Spirit and Commitment towards a goal. He accomplished his. My wife had learned of this thread through me. She made it through a 5 mile treadmill workout the other day thinking of the GSA and his spirit and commitment. He is an inspiration to everyone. Believe.

In terms of behavior worthy of mocking, the GSA is an amateur.
I was watching this clip the other day and when I got to the white guys in mullets reggae dancing @2:40 it was like looking in a mirror of myself from the 80's. The embarrassing behavior continues to this day.

(what happened to embedding video?)
Of course I have been mocked, but never on the scale that the GSA has been mocked for much less mock-worthy behavior than my own. Huh; I guess I kind of feel bad for the guy.
In return for all the lutz I've had at the GSA's expense I would be willing to contribute $10 towards the purchase of a pair of Splat's finest skis, or better yet one of Zudnick's off-spring to gift to the GSA to accompany him on his fantastic exploits.
If I can afford $10 for believe stickers, I can certainly afford another $10 for this...

Sweet. Now I know what to do if I ever get preggers.
Back on topic, I really do hope the amazing GSA does grace us with his presence. I would really like to learn his ways, so I too can visit multiple powder meccas every season. Getting a better paying job is probably step one.There are two rules to life...
*Speed is your friend.
*When in doubt, air it out.

My insight was based solely on the accounts of others (which were all hilarious) as I have never met him. He'd get a clean slate from me, if we ever do meet. Hopefully he realizes the potential in all of this, given that he achieved rockstar status while remaining completely oblivious to the entire thing.
I echo your sentiments.Last edited by biff chalupa; 05-10-2012 at 04:57 PM. Reason: just read splat's post

Funny, although no posts today, the "views" counter on this thread ticks like the National Debt Counter

It's all the Elite pre 2006 (or whenever) TRG members rabidly reading what they vocally pretended to ignore because they were not part of it.

A gaper might threaten to sue, but the Gaper Spirit Animal will actually retain a lawyer.

I wonder, will I get taxed for this annually like tag renewal?
Just acquired the 1964 Olds Rocket 98 for promotional purposes out of Aurora. We were playing round with some vehicle wrap themes for Prospect Pants. Will there be a commercial royalty rate?
