Things That Amuse You

Did he give flakka to the students? If not, your point is moot!

Moar flakka!!!

Asked the 17 year old manning the tgr truck booth today, 'so, no bathrobes? ".

He's like, wtf do you mean bathrobes?

I said, bathrobes, do you have any bathrobes?

Just then his 22 year old supervisor came up and the kid told him what I said.

Supervisor was like, I have one in the truck if you really want it.

I couldn't stop laughing. Thank you tgr.

Owen wants me to take him to a Gray Day show

[MakersTeleMark]

OK, today was a snorter. Full almost puke laughing snorter.

Picture 300+ people in downtown Vail, watching a slack liner above a bunch of freestyle kayakers competing in a play wave during the GoPro games. Bleachers, 2 announcers, boom cameras, the whole nine. Streaming, all that shit. Big HD livescreens. The whole 9.

And joe bro announcer is like, "DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN CODY TOWNSEND WAS HERE FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND PAINTING A PICTURE FOR THE WHOLE TIME, SICK! HE'S LIKE THE BEST FREE-SKIER EVER. WAS ANYONE HERE FOR THAT??!!!"

Of course the tourists have no fucking clue. A minute or two goes by, and the other announcer was like, "Chadly, that was not Cody Townsend, that was Chris Benchetler." Response from Chadly was, "Oh yeah, I mean I used to watch Seth and Blizzard of Ozzs, and matchstick. Anyway, that was sick. He painted that for like days. And they are both really tall and blonde."

I think I was the only one laughing from the getgo and if there was a mic to be dropped it should have, but nobody had a clue.

I savored the moment, under the bridge, laughing my ass off for a long time and thinking what a great remote call out, and giving props in my head to the distant Cody wherever he shall have sended, and painted.

I honestly can't make this shit up. It's the best call out not call out ever. #priceless



The ultimate action sports experience. Prop the fucking server doors por favor. They probably have a trailer for the truck with the WY plates. I don't even think they were 22, but I could be wrong, I was laughing again too hard. Pure liquid aqua silkiness. People were asking if it was OK to pet the corduroy hats with the chicken lines. I kid you not.

Has Fail bought Squaw yet? I haven't been in a long long time. Oh snap, I guess we're not supposed to say that.

WILL CHRIS PLEASE CHANGE HIS USERNAME. MODS???? JEBUS, GET WITH IT.

And, Cody, please just keep posting those painting vids. The 50 has nothing on your post-modern Bob Ross psychedelica.

As a side note, Chris is pretty active on Twitter with his art.

While driving, I get a call from the funeral home in the town where my dad lives. Figured it was probably spam, but answered anyways.

“Hi, this is Mustonen”

“Oh hi Mustonen, I’m sorry, I thought this was your sister. Hey, anyways, just wanted to call and touch base and see how you’re doing with your dad passing away.”

“Pretty sure you got the wrong number, but I guess we need to dig in on this and make sure. This is my-full-name.”

“Oh I’m sorry, yeah, this must be the wrong number.”

“Ok, so…. My dad didn’t die?”

“Uh, no, so sorry about that.”

Missed opportunity there.

“Oh right, so, you’ve already been told he’s to be buried in his favorite gimp suit, right?”

“Does the organist already have the sheet music for ‘walk don’t run’ by the Ventures or should I bring that by?”

“Listen bud, just because I’m bereaved, doesn’t make me a sap!!!”

“Have you already talked to the bounce castle guy?”

Foggy's crew comes home to roost for the big 50th:

https://coloradosun.com/2022/06/14/r...mboat-springs/

If I can find parking, I think I will go up there with my camera and document it. I've never been to one of their gatherings, but them and the juggalos have been on my list for decades just to see what it really is all about on the ground. I'll bring 10 trash bags and 100 condoms to quell my conscious.

Dreams.

Its been 50 years since HS and there I was back in the classroom.

Teacher asking difficult questions and calling on people.

Question 1. I knew the answer, didn't get called. Question 2. Same.

Question 3. I could not even understand and of course she called on me.

Fortunately I woke up.

Wow, this is right up the road, maybe 10-15 miles or so from where I’ll be on July 4. Will have to take a side trip to see what’s up.

I always ask Fred to check the Breck Outpost to see if they're fully stocked on bathrobes before venturing out.

No you don't. So can you ball shot yourself now and pull a Bunzy?

If AI starts to double down on irrational and untrue statements, threaten violence if its dad is mentioned, and set off on an insurmountable quest to make life unreasonably difficult, then yep, TRG is ready for AI.

Now I'm going to start bringing up dads and threatening curb stompings while ordering groceries and delivery just to see if I can figure out where all the lucky Turing test bots went from here.
