Winter Olympics Amp Up

 

I'm writing this while watching the Olympics Figure Skating Exhibition Gala so my attention is a bit split. The Italian pair started with the macarena and ended with cotton-eyed Joe. You just never know what the next act will be. Apparently it's Greatest Showman, which is fitting for this event. 

Explanation: The halfpipe is a slope built up on the sides to resemble the bottom half of a circular pipe. A whole-pipe would, in my mind, be like a Hot Wheels loop-de-loop track.

Cross-Country Snowboarding

So often when I'm talking with people, work comes up and I use to work in an office and I like what I did. But a few years ago I had a major change so now I'm not an office working software engineer. And often, I miss my programming days. But then I find some of the comics, like this one, that I wrote during my office days and I realize I'm not missing those annoying parts. So it's good to remember both the good and the bad of the past so you don't idolize it all rosy-like.

Explanation: You cannot move across a flat surface with both feet strapped into your snowboard. Well, you can but it involves jumping/lunging and that's exhausting. So cross-country skiing is totally a thing which is a real workout, but cross-country snowboarding would just be super frustrating and might be entertaining to watch. UPDATE: I am at least the second party to think of this sport because here's a video about this "sport."

Ski Season Starting

I realllllllllllllly want to start the ski season.

Skills Before Thrills

When will the ski season start? I was wearing short sleeves this week and you should not be doing that in November.

Face Plant

And that's why I ski.

Captain Oblivious - Snowboarding

Safety pins - the new duct tape? And I just realized that safety has an 'e' in it...
