This was the e-mail signature for the marketing manager of a very large international ski company. Fantastic.

I am sorry to subject you to this. Here I am, on camera doing the product review video for Liberty Skis. We tried to make it a little entertaining. Kick back and get your learn on with this video.

We’re sending this video out to our podcast on iTunes as well as the review section on the new freeskier.com. After all is said and done, this video should be played 150,000 times.

Damn, that is scary.

Much love to Mikey T. for shooting, directing, editing and mastering this video. Also, much love to Gabe for capturing and piecing together the timeline. Kid has talent.

Check out the look on AC Slater’s face when this train wreck wraps up her statement. Horror.

This seems like the type of twat that Zach Morris would nail.

We’re going to go ahead and ask Miss South Carolina to not speak while she’s blowing me.

The folks at TrekStor introcued their new line of portable media devices today.  Stoked to see that they’re trying to branch out to the KKK with their newest model… iBeat Blaxx.

They’re really going for it with the product line.  It is smart marketing to have a portable media device for everyone.  Women, kids, racists!

Coming soon…

• iBeat Women
• iBeat Kids

Those models should do really well in the south.
Another sweet feature, when you power the thing down the screen flashes “iBeat Off”.  Great device.  Really proud.

I’m not sure when they are going to fix the page, for the time being you can check it out.

Pfeif called me today after he did a booze run, seems that Samuel Adams Summer Ale is no longer available in the greater Metro-Boston area. This is the sure sign that Summer is on its way out.

Here in Boulder, summer is indeed winding down. The 50 meter outdoor pool has closed for the season, the only remaining outdoor pool is on reduced hours. Typically, back east the end of summer is pretty evident. The warm weather takes a downturn to cooler temperatures, windows are rolled up, people start wearing sweaters. Out here in Colorado, the seasons are pretty drastic. It is going to keep being mid 80’s and sunny for the next few weeks. I’m going to keep swimming outdoors. Windows are going to stay open at night. T-shirts are going to be rocked until the middle of September. Sometime during the middle of September, I’m going to wake up and it is going to be the mid 60’s and I’ll break out the long sleeves.

For the time being, I’m going to keep enjoying the warm temperatures and sunny skies.

One of my favorite Simpsons moments of all time.

Music: Celebrate good times, c’mon.
Al Gore: I will.

It snowed last night in Breckenridge.  Upper elevations were glazed with a light snow.  Not too shabby for August.

77 days until the season starts at Breck.

Wow, look at the stereotypes here. When you think “Russia” doesn’t sitting naked in front of a television drinking vodka come up in your head? It sure does in mine. Isn’t vodka their version of Poland Spring?

If those broads in Russia think it is perfectly ok to light a man’s junk on fire, I’m certainly going to think twice before I buy up one of those mail order brides.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A woman set fire to her ex-husband’s penis as he sat naked watching television and drinking vodka, Moscow police said Wednesday.

Asked if the man would make a full recovery, a police spokeswoman said it was “difficult to predict.”

The attack climaxed three years of acrimonious enforced co-habitation. The couple divorced three years ago but continued to share a small flat, something common in Russia where property costs are very high.

“It was monstrously painful,” the wounded ex-husband told Tvoi Den newspaper. “I was burning like a torch. I don’t know what I did to deserve this.”

Special edition of the MMP Mailbag today.  This lovely piece of mail is coming to us from the DDC Factory Floor in Portland, Oregon. I have a sneaking suspicion that enclosed are a few (hot off the press) copies of Field Notes.

Gotta’ love how it is addressed. Dave “Raw Hide” Amirault.

Jesus, Draplin.

Be sure to head over to the Field Notes website.
“An honest memo book, worth fillin’ up with GOOD INFORMATION.”

I like sport compact hatchbacks. Great gas mileage, sporty looking, fold the seats down when you need room. Great little vehicles. When these hit showrooms in a few months you can bet your ass I’ll be test driving one, seeing what I can get for the Focus and locking one of these babies down.

Yes, I know it is a Saturn. Calm down.

Other advantage… Fat chicks can’t get in your car.
