Rubys Car

A couple of days ago Rob left the lights on in his car and drained the battery in SnowPark parking lot.  We went into the lodge, asked for jumper cables, charged it for a little bit but couldn't get her started.  After a few days of bad weather and no skiing we thought we'd give her another try.  Heres our valiant effort of getting Robbie's car started.

3rd Annual Winter Volympics

Yesterday was the 3rd annual winter volympics and was it ever awesome.  We showed up to Kadenwood in Whistler around 3:00pm to people building amazing features.  I built a nice fire without any paper, then put it in a wheel barrow, so we had a portable fire.  As more people flooded in, Team Captains Darren Rayner (blue) and Mason Mahone (red) made their picks.  I was picked to the blue team.  Each team was given a permanent marker (red and blue) to distinguish which team they were on, by drawing on each others faces.  Sean Pettit and Reno Speedman the biggest risk- were the official score keepers.  Reed was also the announcer where he bashed people and handed out mandatory shotguns, which was extremely entertaining.  The torch was lit and  the games began.  The games consisted of a beer shot gun relay, with 1 woman and 3 men.  One person started with an unopened beer and a key.  They had to insert the key, shotgun the beer, and run 30 meters to the the next team member, where they handed off the key.  Red team won that race by a long shot.  Next was the dual GT race where each team had to piggyback another teammate on a GT snow racer down a run, and across the finish line.  Blue won that round, but a dispute led to a re-race and red ended up winning that round.  Throughout the whole Volympics party points could be awarded to each team for doing something outrageous.  Party points that counted were from Bibby and Luke setting a tree on fire then cutting it down, Josh Stack coming out of nowhere on a dirtbike and high marking a trail, boardin from Leo, Braden Dean, and VDP, skiing from Turpin and Stan, Ian Cosco (blue) took a nature poop, Barefoot hittin the river gap on a GT, and many other party points were counted from other crazy acts.  Then there was the make out contest which Sasha (blue) and I dominated in against Mase and Diane (red) for some solid points.  Bibby and Luke (red) went head to head against stack and barefoot (blue) in a hatchet throwing contest.  They had three attempts to stick a hatchet into a tree, Red team took that round.  Things started to turn around for blue team when Stack (blue) acquired ten party points for back flipping the 20 ft river gap on a GT.  Then Stan (red) stepped it up and double back flipped it on his skis.  Next was the one legged cross country down hill ski race where Stan (red) murdered Peter Olenick (blue).  Next was the big air contest, where Luke, Stan, Barefoot, and Josh competed.  Barefoot went to the next level trying to hit the river gap on a snowskate, which put Volympics to a terrifying hault.  Barefoot hit the jump airing left and short, landing head first on a rock knocking him unconscious .  Luke immediately called 911 ordering an ambulance, but during the call Barefoot came to and realized there was no bleeding, nothing was broken, or head injury.  He rolled out of there with just a goose egg on his noggin.  Thank God he was ok.  He gave everyone a big scare.  Next was horse shoes where Peter and I (blue) were competing against Bibby and Luke (red).  Peter and I were crushing them until Mason interrupted the game by belligerently hitting the horseshoes out of the air with a cross country pole.  The games ended with an announcement from each Team Capatin that Red Team had won and how thankful we are that Barefoot didn't get seriously hurt.  The 3rd Annual Winter Volympics ended with Warren Williams shooting Peter Olenick with a eight shot roman candle, real mature idiots.

The One Drink Rule

One of the funniest things to me is the phrase "lets go for one drink."  Those five harmless little words hide the meaning of what actually is about to happen that evening.  I've learned that in this day and age it is very hard to just go for one drink.  We are young, we're having fun, experimenting, dealing with peer pressure, everyone else is having fun, why can't you.

Robin and I devised a system to guarantee that you will not have a casual evening when someone says, " lets go for just one drink."  It is called  "The One Drink Rule!"

You are not allowed to leave until you have casually drank one drink, start to finish that has not been tampered with.  That means if any of the following happens:

your drink gets spilt
your glass gets broken or smashed
anyone puts anything in your drink, extra straws, umbrellas, fruit, ice cubes, shots, peanuts, hands, ghb, anything, etc.
someone else feeds you your drink
someone else feeds you any drink
you drink someone elses drink
you drink out of a shoe
you drink out of a straw
the drink is a double or more
shot-gunning
beer bonging
or shots

all of the above is not considered one drink.  All I am saying is to be careful when someone says lets just go for one drink, they might have rules like Robin and I.
