Tomorrow isn't Valentines ...

[kuulani]

It's the day Captain Cook was killed in Hawai'i

 

[Leslie]

I'd rather celebrate that this year I think

 

[Professur]

Lucky bastard

 

[lacemyster]

It's the day Captain Cook was killed in Hawai'i

I'll still celebrate Valentines Day anyway

 

[Professur]

And how are you celebrating?

 

[Leslie]

big honkin' bottle of rum

 

[lacemyster]

And how are you celebrating?

Going snow tubing with ph33rb0

 

[Professur]

Does anyone use a tobogan anymore?

 

[Leslie]

my guys have 'em

 

[Professur]

Good solid wood?

 

[Leslie]

The one for the little guy is, with the red fleecy lining and all, the others are the real thick plastic ones like we used to get.

 

[Professur]

Mine was aluminum.

 

[Leslie]

I didn't like those...the Krazy Karpets were fun...deadly but fun

 

[Professur]

Yeah. No bump coverage at all. I remember them. One gopher hole and God only knew where you were gonna wind up.

 

[Leslie]

They were fast though, lotsa fun if there were no trees within a mile or two

 

[Professur]

We used to go to the snow dump. About 300' down, with a 40' rise. And no stops in between.

The walk back up was pure hell.

 

[unclehobart]

to-bog-an? s-now? f-un? ...me know not these things down this far south.

 

[Leslie]

we never found a snow dump, that's a great idea!!! COOL!


unc, tobogganing is when your parents don't really want you to come home, so they set you up on a thin piece of plastic and push you down a steep him with trees at the bottom and tell you to go as fast as you possibly can

 

[Professur]

Then get yer ass up here. I've invited you often enough.

We once used the plastic CPR board and wooden longboard from the ambulance to go sleigh riding. The longboard was perfect--it was sealed, smooth and had the belts to hold on to.
